Do you click? Like in Total War? Scripts won't work here, but if you replace the cursor click sound... It's just not certain that these changes can be limited to only selecting the hero, and not all objects.

I'll try to create something with animation now.

Animation of a Knight would suit Nikolai perfectly.
But something needs to be done about the three Griffin Hearts.
And the animation of his vampire version will also work.

Yes, with these two models, everything works correctly, thank you. Is the Griffin Heart part of the model or the texture? If it's the latter, you could try replacing the texture, as Ment did in "The Tale of Igor's Campaign."

You can also remove the last three items in the hidden tab called MaterialQuantities within the geometry properties.

It worked. Thanks again!

MessageBox("path to the text message in the map archive");

I don't understand where to write this. I haven't created any scripts in this editor before. Please explain in more detail. I need the message to appear once at the start of the game for the red player.

Is it a single-player game?
You need to write it here. Open MapProperties (you can probably just press the spacebar in the editor), go to the Script tab, click Edit, and edit it in the text field.

That's a bit disappointing. But still, thank you, and not like in Total War, but like in StarCraft.

And is it possible to display a video on the screen somehow? Like at the beginning of the first part, where Isabel gets married?

By the way, I don't know. It seemed to me that this video played during the game loading, but this is something completely different, not what's in the map. In maps, I've only seen and created dialogue scenes...

Is Izabel getting married?

That's definitely not right.

Whatever

Unfortunately, that's not possible.

Is it possible to add IDs for creatures and spells?

Creatures have been added to the NCF. I don't know about spells; I haven't seen any projects like that, and I don't know how to do it myself... But potentially, it's certainly possible.

I tried to do this. I was digging through the bin files, files in data.pak, and much more. Because of all the changes, the game crashed. I think that these changes need to be adapted for the executable file.

I tried to do this. I tinkered with bin files, files in data.pak, and much more. Due to all the changes, the game crashed. I think it would be necessary to adapt it to the .esh file.

It's a shame that it couldn't be done using the game's own tools. I wouldn't want to tie the map to an external mod.

Yes, that's true. However, I'll try to tinker with the editor and if I succeed, I'll let you know.

P.s. I managed to create a properly animated walking Nicholas.

Added 6 minutes later
Excuse me, is it possible to summon a hero and remove the previous one using scripts?
