Posts from Current questions and answers regarding the map editor. Auto-translated

Links with long hexadecimal names have a tendency to disappear if copied from their original location. You can try copying an existing town, but without using the editor, and do it manually.

If you decide to tinker with the executable file, I'm not an expert, but here's what I know: use IDA, find the relevant part of the assembly code, and then go to the binary file and make the corresponding changes. I haven't tested it myself, but when I asked around, people suggested a less universal but simpler method. Unfortunately, I didn't quite understand its principle.

1. The view on the map.

Is it a city model?

I'll try asking Psatkh how he added IDs for creatures. And if he tells me, we can try to do something similar for towns. (And it will turn out to be WoG:))

Is it the town model?

Yeah, that's it.

And if it's WoG, there will be a huge mess in the messages of that thread about how unbalanced and unoptimized the mod is, at least that's how it was in the first versions of WoG for Heroes III.

Do you already have ideas for new factions, heroes, and creatures?

Just recording two battles won’t be enough.

When connecting a combat script to a hero, the console throws errors regarding these functions within the script: GetHeroLevel, GetObjectArmySlotCreature. "Attempt to call a nil value." Why is this happening? How can I avoid it?

These functions don't work in battles at all; they are only for the map.

Wow, that's great... So, is it completely impossible to find out the level of a hero and the number of specific creatures in their army during a battle?

With each hero level up, you can set a global game variable using SetGameVar, and during combat, you can retrieve its value using GetGameVar. The number and type of creatures can be determined using the functions GetDefenderCreatures, GetAttackerCreatures, GetCreatureType, and GetCreatureNumber.

Thanks, I'll try. Could you provide more details about the last part? For example, I need to know if there are any creatures with a specific ID in a hero's army, and if so, how many?

GetAttacker/DefenderCreatures() - returns an array with the names of creatures in the army of the attacking or defending side.
GetCreatureType(unitName) - the type of creature by name.
GetCreatureNumber(unitName) - the number of creatures by name.
Availability checks are performed using a loop.

So, is this approximately how it should be done?

flag=0;
DefC=GetDefenderCreatures()
for i, def in DefC do
       if GetCreatureType(DefC)==id then
               flag=1;
               num=GetCreatureNumber(DefC);
       end;
end;

Or not?

Here. It calculates the total number of creatures in the defending army.

local num = 0
for i, unit in GetDefenderCreatures() do
	if GetCreatureType(unit) == id then
		num = num + GetCreatureNumber(unit)
	end
end

Here. It calculates the total number of creatures in the defending army.

local num = 0
for i, unit in GetDefenderCreatures() do
	if GetCreatureType(unit) == id then
		num = num + GetCreatureNumber(unit)
	end
end

Thank you very much for your help!
