How to create a MessageBox? I found some old guide, but the script from it doesn't work at all... Here's the script: function sampleF () Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, "sample", nil ); MessageBox ("Maps/SingleMissions/test/test.txt"); end; Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, “sample”, “sampleF” ); The file test.txt is located inside the map at the path Maps/SingleMissions/test/test.txt, and its encoding is UTF-8.

The encoding is incorrect; it should be Unicode (UTF-16).

Hmm... the encoding didn't help...

The quotes in the script are incorrect; you need to use " or '.

Thank you. One more question. Using scripts, you can make UNITS of creatures fight on the map (attack, die, etc.), but how can you make the scripts play ONLY when the hero approaches?

What does the NON_ESSENTIAL command do, and how can it be used?

function play_anims()
	if GetCurrentPlayer() ~= 1 then return end
	Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, 'region_name', nil)
	PlayObjectAnimation("creature", "animation", ANIMATION_PLAY_METHOD)
	sleep(3)  -- Pauses will likely be needed between animation plays
	PlayObjectAnimation("creature", "animation", ANIMATION_PLAY_METHOD)
	sleep(3)
	PlayObjectAnimation("creature", "animation", ANIMATION_PLAY_METHOD)
	-- ... --
end

Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, 'region_name', 'play_anims')

To make the script work, you will need a region; when a hero enters it, the animation will be triggered.

The animation will only be played if no other animation (other than "idle00") is currently playing on the object.

What are the different ways to play animations?

ONESHOT - play the animation once; IDLE - loop the animation infinitely; ONESHOT_STILL - after the animation finishes playing, the object will remain in the position of the last frame of the animation and will not change it. This is typically used for death animations; there are also INVISIBLE and NON_ESSENTIAL, but they are rarely used.

Whatever

ONESHOT - play the animation once; IDLE - continuously loop the animation; ONESHOT_STILL - after the animation finishes playing, the object will remain in the position of the last movement of that animation and will not change it. This is typically used for death animations; there are also INVISIBLE and NON_ESSENTIAL, but they are rarely used.

Thank you very much! This will be helpful.

function play_anims() if GetCurrentPlayer() ~= 1 then return end Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, '1', nil) PlayObjectAnimation("q12", "death", ONESHOT_STILL) sleep(3) end Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, '1', 'play_anims') It doesn't work. What's the problem?

It’s better not to refer to regions by numbers, but to give them ordinary names in Latin characters.

Whatever

Which player’s hero entered the region? I created a version specifically for single-player mode; for multiplayer, the check for the current player needs to be removed.

I made it for single-player. It still doesn't work. The other scripts play, but these don't.
