Hello! Could you please tell me why the map-tag.xdb file is missing from my map files?

I don't know how it could have disappeared from your files, but in the worst-case scenario, it could be re-embedded into the map.

There is a function called EnableHeroAI(sHeroName, bEnable). Is there a function that checks the state of bEnable? Something like IsEnableHeroAI?
There isn't such a function, but it's easy to create one. 
local enable_hero_ai = EnableHeroAI
local disabled = {}
function EnableHeroAI(hero, enable)
  %enable_hero_ai(hero, enable)
  %disabled[hero] = not enable
end

function IsHeroEnabled(hero)
  return not %disabled[hero]
end

I would copy the map-tag from another map and then embed it into this map. Then, you can open this file with Notepad, and it will contain text similar to this: 

AdvMapDescTag
	AdvMapDesc href="map.xdb#xpointer(/AdvMapDesc)"/>
	NameFileRef href="name.txt"/>
	DescriptionFileRef href="description.txt"/>
	TileX>256
	TileY>256
	MapGoal href="MapGoalText.txt"/>
	CustomMapGoal>false
	teams>
		Item>1
		Item>1
		Item>1
	/teams>
	thumbnailImages/>
	HasUnderground>true
	RandomMap>false
	CustomGameMap>false
	Version>3
/AdvMapDescTag
Each line also starts with the "<" character. It's not difficult to figure out what's what. You just need to change all the settings to match your map. Is there an easier way?

function EnableHeroAI(hero, enable)
  %enable_hero_ai(hero, enable)
  %disabled[hero] = not enable
end

function IsHeroEnabled(hero)
  return not %disabled[hero]
end

and if the AI for a hero is already disabled, and I "disable" it again by calling the EnableHeroAI function, will that cause an error?

I can't figure out how to make opaque water with cool-looking shores. I'm using the Water tool, but the water turns out transparent, and you can see the bottom. If I add water from the Rivers tab, the shores become too gentle. Can you help me?

In the map properties tree, there is an item called ReflectiveWater; set it to true and reload the map.

Is it possible to link a sound source to an object in the editor, so that when you activate a building or something else, your sound plays?

You can use scripts (Play2DSound, Play3DSound), as well as in the properties of a Shared object (SoundEffect, AdventureSoundEffect).

Thanks, everything works.
By the way, what is this thing that happens when you modify a map? You save it in the editor, replacing the original, but in the game, when multiplayer maps are enabled in scenarios, a clone of it appears?

I have another question: `SetObjectPosition(sObjectName, nX, nY, nFloorID = -1)` If the coordinates specified in this function are impassable, then, as I understand it, the object will be moved to the nearest "passable" tile, right? Will this work even in the case where there are no passable tiles even remotely close to the tile nX, nY?

No. If the coordinates are greater than the map coordinates, the game will crash with a critical error; otherwise, the teleportation will occur in any case. I teleported the hero to the top of a mountain, into water, and into a mine.

Whatever

I plan to do this with one of the creatures. If I accidentally teleport it to the center of a 40x40 mountain, will the creature end up somewhere on the edge of that mountain in a passable location?

He will end up in the center of the mountain.

Well, in general, I explained it very unclearly, I apologize: this function works like a regular change of the body's coordinates, like, for example, in the editor; that is, whatever coordinates you specify, the object will be there, regardless of whether we are passing through this tile or not. That's it.

Whatever

What if we take a section of the map, say, 100x100, run a loop of 10,000 iterations, checking each tile using IsTilePassable(nX, nY, nFloorID = GROUND), and if the tile is passable, add it to an array? Then, for teleporting a creature, use an element from that array? I don't really know yet how to do this exactly, and whether it would significantly impact the gameplay.

I would start by considering a certain radius from the desired cell. First, check the cell itself, then all cells within a radius of 1, then 2, and so on, until a traversable tile is found.
