Posts from Current questions and answers regarding the map editor.

How can I prevent any buildings from being constructed in castles? Where and how can I learn scripting? A map for the Dwarves, titled "Crushing Blow," is in development. The map is 25% complete.

Castles - place a castle on the map, press the spacebar, and in the list, select "buildings" - this will display the structures, along with the buttons "build initially," "not built," and "cannot be built" (English).
Scripts - refer to the manuals (editor documentation in the game folder).

For example, if I want a hero to receive the exact amount of experience points needed to reach the next level, do I simply need to write LevelUpHero(heroName) in the script field (e.g., LevelUpHero(Rutger)), or are there other script lines I need to include?

That's enough; you just need to put the hero's name in quotation marks.

Should I write the name without parentheses? And is it necessary to add extra words, for example, "end" at the end?

LevelUpHero('Brem')
-- or --
LevelUpHero'Brem'Script names often differ from the actual names!
Instead of apostrophes, you can use quotes or double square brackets.

Besides LevelUpHero('HeroName'), are there any other script commands that need to be written, for example, 'end' at the end? For RedHeavenHero. What does "Script names often differ from the actual names" mean?

No words are needed. Script names are not the same as the names displayed for the hero. To view this name, select the hero, press the spacebar, and look at the Script name in the Settings tab.

1) No, just this line. 2) They differ from the real ones – meaning the hero names for the script are different from the names we see in the game. Rutger = Brem Vittorio = Christian Railag = Raelag And so on. Added after 38 seconds
Oh, they already explained...

And when are additional script keywords needed (for example, at the end – “end”)?

To close if-then blocks, do loops, and functions.

What are the if-then, do, and function blocks?

This is already a scripting language. Refer to the manual.

There’s a lot of things, but this is definitely missing. It’s not even on the website of the Lua creators :eek:. The only thing written there is that “Control structures have their usual meaning and familiar syntax,” meaning that if you’re a programmer, you should know these basics.

I tried writing in Visual Basic at first (it was the only thing I knew), and I was in for a rude awakening. ;)
