Posts from Current questions and answers regarding the map editor.

Here it is:

Go to the game folder/profiles/editor_a2.cfg, open it with Notepad. Change the line setvar map_editor_mode = 0 to setvar map_editor_mode = 1. Open the editor and press View->GameDatabase->New Window. A new window will appear. Right-click on the border, select Tables, choose the desired resources from the list using checkboxes, and press OK. Go to the desired resource in the dropdown list.

You've probably done this before, so it should be easy to remember.

Shouldn't you change 1 to 0 there as well?

I think I wrote correctly when I was creating the FAQ. But if there's anything wrong, please correct me.

Yes, I just checked, and I did make a mistake.

That's why I'm sitting here, looking at this beauty and thinking... but why, actually? XD I just changed it to zero, and now it's working fine.

By the way, I've been wondering for a long time – how can I make it so that a hero can cast Fireball, so that its power increases with the hero's level, and so that it doesn't harm the hero's troops?

In the extended editor mode, you can find the settings for this spell, and it seems there’s even a dependency on the hero’s main stats. But as for damaging your own troops… the spell itself is implemented at the game engine level, as far as I understand. For ourselves (our team), we only left the option to edit the damage.

How to make such a trap: When capturing a town, it burns down and then turns into the ruins of a town? The ruins are among the .towns objects.
And the second issue: when a hero, Remisa, passes through a two-way portal, there is no return entrance to the portal for that hero.

This is the first one. ``` function capture_prt() Trigger(5, "prt", nil) RazeBuilding("cityname") end Trigger(5, "prt", "capture_prt") ```

The second one. ``` points={{x1, y1, f1}, {x2, y2, f2}} function tch_portal(hero, portal) if portal == "name_of_first_portal" then SetObjectPosition(hero, points[2][1], points[2][2], points[2][3]) elseif portal == "name_of_second_portal" and hero ~= "Remisa" then SetObjectPosition(hero, points[1][1], points[1][2], points[1][3]) end end Trigger(4, "name_of_first_portal", "tch_portal") Trigger(4, "name_of_second_portal", "tch_portal") SetObjectEnabled("name_of_first_portal", nil) SetObjectEnabled("name_of_second_portal", nil) ``` x1, x2, y1, y2, f1, f2 are the coordinates of the point near the first and second portals, where the hero will be teleported.

But how do you give this spell to a hero?

TeachHeroSpell не катит?

Thanks to everyone! I'll test it a second time with the AI enhancement patch and let you know if it helped.

Is TeachHeroSpell not working?

TeachHeroSpell("xxx", 239); - when I enter it like this, the console displays an error.

TeachHeroSpell("xxx", SPELL_DEMON_SOVEREIGN_FX); - when I enter it like this, there is no error, but nothing appears in the spellbook either.

What kind of error are you referring to?

What kind of error?

Incorrect value for the second parameter - ID.

So, the function doesn't recognize the Fireball as a spell. You could try giving the hero a scroll or the spell itself at the beginning.
