Here's a question: how do you add already created maps to a campaign?

That is, in the editor, your map is missing from the list...
Then I would advise you not to rush into creating a campaign, but rather pay more attention to the maps. You will have to stitch the campaign together using a text editor and archivers.

I looked at the script for your map and saw this:

function GetTown(heroname)
  if heroname == "Hero9"
  then while  IsHeroGetTown("Bahia") do
    sleep(5)
  end;
  Win()
  --or--
  Win(1)
end;
end;

function new_day()
	local day, wday, week, month = GetDate(DAY), GetDate(DAY_OF_WEEK), GetDate(WEEK), GetDate(MONTH)
	if month == 7 then
		Loose(1)
	end
	if month == 5 and week == 1 and wday == 1 then
		DeployReserveHero('', 5, 135, 1)
		Trigger(NEW_DAY_TRIGGER, "new_day", "Army")
	end;
end;

Trigger(NEW_DAY_TRIGGER, 'new_day')

You said that you are a complete novice in writing scripts, but here there is already some kind of improvisation, and with a 99.9% probability, it will not work.

What’s wrong with them? And I’m really a beginner.

The first one clearly doesn't work, even though I provided a working version.

Sometimes, for some reason, the scripts revert to the state they were in before I modified them. I don't know what's happening to them.

Up to that point*.

Most likely, this is due to editing the scripts while the map is open in the editor. In this case, the script should be edited in /Editor/H5MMods/map_name/, otherwise, after closing the editor, the changes will be reset.

How do I lock the game so that other players are controlled by the computer?

So that only the first player is controlled by a human, and the rest are controlled by the computer?

In Players Properties:
Human Playable - a human player can control the faction
Computer Playable - a computer player can control the faction

It's really interesting how to make an Orc hero use magic.

Please tell me how to add maps to a campaign!

And also: how do I make one-way teleporters send you to a specific exit, and not a random one?

The last step is easy. In the editor, select the teleport, press the spacebar. Enter a number in the menu that appears. The number must be the same for linked teleports.

And what about the second one?

Thanks for the hint.

I've never created a campaign before...
You can try to figure it out yourself, using the campaigns by Ser9K or others as an example; we have many of them on the forum. You'll need WinRAR and Notepad. There's a special file in xdb format that stitches all the maps together and sets the initial conditions; create your own based on that.

Yeah, thanks. And regarding the first question, is it better not to even try, or are there tools available?

Unfortunately, the links no longer work (sniff-sniff).

I'm digging through the files of the original campaigns, but I don't understand how they're put together.

Oh dear, I'm stuck with this for a long time. Need help:smile05:

Yeah, thanks. And regarding the first question, is it even worth trying, or are there any solutions?

Well, give it a try.
If you need this to work for a human player, do as recommended. Take a hero and change their class from "Barbarian" to something else in Shared. Then remove the class skill and replace it with Blood Fury. It might actually work. But I don't think so.
As for AI… I believe that simply giving a Barbarian spells will make them use them. I’m not sure, but it seems like someone did some research on this topic with such results.

Unfortunately, the links no longer work (sniffle-sniffle).

Here, this should work...

The player definitely needs it.

I didn't understand anything, to be honest.
