Could you please provide the script? After entering a region, it would display a message, and the camera would focus on the specified region. Thank you.

I am increasingly convinced that I am a complete noob when it comes to mapmaking :smile07:. Has anyone already created a Russian-language manual on scripts, or even better – scripts with examples, screenshots, and a detailed, easy-to-understand explanation (sorry if this is an overdone topic)?

Could you please provide the script for the following scenario: After joining, I was attacked by a group of creatures.

Help!:smile45: Can you suggest a script that would make it so the hero doesn't need a town? I'm creating a map with a hero (without a town), with various outposts and garrisons... But when I launch it, it says the task is to capture any town within 1 week.:smile45:

Could you provide a script that would allow a hero to function without needing a town?

In the map editor, look at the settings tree, specifically the "objectives" branch. There, you'll find the condition "DieInWeekWithoutTowns," which is set to "true" by default. Change it to "false." There are several of these, including a general one and ones for each player, as well as for primary and secondary quests. To be sure, it's best to go through and disable them all.

Wow, it was hard to find a place where people understand scripts.

Guys, help me out, I need scripts to enhance the AI players.

On a specific day, add a certain amount of gold/resources to each AI player. Add a certain number of monsters of a specific level to the main city of each AI player.

Thanks in advance.

After writing such scripts and clicking "OK", the editor crashes for me.

Please, someone help me :)

I've just started learning scripting, so I don't quite understand why the following code isn't working for me:(

function f1()
       MessageBox("The Prophet does not wish to see you.")
end
SetObjectEnabled("Prophet", nil)
Trigger(OBJECT_TOUCH_TRIGGER, "Prophet", 'f1')

SetObjectEnabled works as expected, but the Trigger doesn't. What's wrong?

MessageBox("The Prophet does not wish to see you.")

This is completely wrong. Look at the manual; it needs a link to a text file, not just plain text.

Thank you :)
Another question, if it's not too much trouble)
I have a secondary "Conquer" objective of type Manual with initial visibility/activity parameters set to false.
But it's not working :(

path = GetMapDataPath()
function activate(obj)
     SetObjectiveState(obj, OBJECTIVE_ACTIVE,PLAYER_2)
end

function complete(obj)
     SetObjectiveState(obj, OBJECTIVE_COMPLETED,PLAYER_2)
     MessageBox(path.."meow1.txt")
end

function proph_event(hero)
     if GetObjectiveState("Conquer") == OBJECTIVE_UNKNOWN then
        activate("Conquer")
     else
         if GetObjectiveState("Conquer") == OBJECTIVE_ACTIVE and HasArtefact(hero, 29)  then
            complete("Conquer")
            Trigger(OBJECT_TOUCH_TRIGGER, "Prophet", nil)
         end
end

SetObjectEnabled("Prophet", nil)
Trigger(OBJECT_TOUCH_TRIGGER, "Prophet", "proph_event")

OBJECTIVE_UNKNOWN

Check this out. PLAYER_2 is questionable... If it's a single-player map, then the person is playing as the first player. If it's multiplayer, then it's okay...

It didn't become much clearer somehow :(
I'm not creating anything right now, just experimenting. That's why I have both the first and second player, but the quests should be tied to the second player.

OBJECTIVE_UNKNOWN — the task is unknown to the player.

It seems to be correct; this thing is in the list of the GetObjectiveState method's return values. Regarding what is written in script_functions_rus
How would you personally do it? :)

I'm not creating anything substantial right now, just experimenting. That's why I have both the first and second player, but the quests should be tied to the second player.

I don't understand how that works for you... Are you sure you're actually playing as the second player? ) If you're playing as the first player, nothing will happen with the quests, because your script specifies that the state only changes for the second player.

It seems like everything is correct; this is included in the list of the `GetObjectiveState` method. Regarding what's written in `script_functions_rus`
How would you personally do it?

Well, I just don't remember. If it's written that way in the manual, then it's correct.
