That's bad. And it doesn't work even with the mainHero setting. But... okay, I can remove the main heroes... Then I'll at least create one.
In any case, thank you very much for the explanation.

In the end, I implemented the treasure mechanic using a workaround – I placed trigger events on them that activate upon touch, and when triggered, they move the treasure to a hidden location. Scripts then simulate the player picking it up. When the treasure needs to reappear, I move it back. Patch 3.1 undoubtedly introduced many good features, but unfortunately, it also has its share of bugs.

Good idea!

By the way, I was curious to know: if I create a video on one map and then copy it to another, what will happen if I delete the original map later? In other words, is the video actually recorded, and can it be inserted wherever I want, or is it still linked to the original "terrain"?

If it's an advmap, then it only needs the text.

Yeah, just create a video on a different map, then transfer it to another map, and delete the original one. Then everything will be fine. It's just that creating terrain and landscapes in videos isn't supported, and it's essential. Thank you.

I sincerely apologize for asking the question here, but this topic is visited more often than the one where I should have asked it. Actually, the problem is that the music has disappeared from the game. Completely. I only noticed this recently, as I hadn't turned on the music in the game before. The volume is set in the profile settings, and it works everywhere. But as soon as I launch the game, everything goes silent. I apologize again. I just don't have much time to browse the forum and look for answers. I hope you understand. If you could point me to a post with an answer, or just tell me what's going on, I would be very grateful.

Is it possible to put the music file directly into the .h5m file with the map, or is it impossible to access it through the .xdb file later? Because the standard path \Maps\SingleMissons\Map\Music.odd doesn't work. You can only use ..\Maps\Music.odd, but then you still have to install the file in the Maps folder.

Is it possible to embed a music file directly into the .h5m map file, or is it impossible to access it through the .xdb file?

Not with music. But I had an idea to add voiceovers to maps using sounds and scripts that trigger them. Sounds can be embedded in the map, so it works fine. There aren't many limitations on the quality, so it's a viable method.

There's no music. But I had an idea to add sound effects to maps using sounds and scripts that trigger them. The sounds are embedded in the map, so everything is fine. There aren't any particular limitations on the quality, so the method works.

Wouldn't the music and sound effects triggered by scripts overlap and create indistinguishable noise?

Yes, they will. You can remove the music and leave only the sound effects.

Is it possible to embed a music file directly into the .h5m map file, or is that not feasible? And if so, how can I access it through the .xdb file?

It's not possible to embed it directly into the map if /maps/singlemissions/... doesn't work. There are two options:
1) Ask players to manually place the music file in the music folder;
2) Create a self-extracting archive. In this case, the user will only need to specify the path to the game folder.

Well, my idea is basically the same. Just ask players to unpack everything from the archive into the maps folder. The sound will also be placed there as a separate file, and it won't be too difficult to launch it from there.
As for the archive, that's a very good idea. It would look nice.

I have the following situation: the enemy hero is constantly stationed in the city garrison and doesn't venture out. I need to take part of his army using scripts. I already know how to take the army, but the function doesn't have access to his creatures – the hero is in the garrison. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Use the (Add/Remove/Get)HeroCreatures functions.

It doesn't work. Since the hero is inside the town, he doesn't exist as an object for the game.

and can’t you teleport him either? Does an error message appear when you try to do anything with his name?
