Posts from Scripts

No, the scripts still don't work. What's the problem? Could you take a look, if possible?

No, the scripts still don't work. What's the problem? Could you take a look if possible?

You need to unlock the console in the game, and it will show you exactly what the problem is with the script. There's no need to post the entire script here every time.

Regarding the script, I took a quick look and noticed this:

function SetPlayerStartResources (player, wood, ore, mercury, crystal, sulfur, gem, gold)
  if player == 1
  then wood = 20
  ore = 20
  mercury = 10
  crystal = 15
  sulfur = 10
  gem = 10
  gold = 15000
end
end

What is this? Reinventing the wheel, and doing it wrong.

SetPlayerStartResources (1, 20, 20, 10, 15, 10, 10, 15000)

--without any function, etc.

Maybe it's simpler this way?

And yes, what is this function for?

function alive()
	while IsHeroAlive("Hero9") do
		sleep(10)
	end
	Loose()
-- or --
  Loose(1)
end

If it's what I think it is, it can be done much simpler and clearer, without any loops

Well, the main thing is that it works.

Just for general information, there is a trigger that reacts to the player losing a hero. You can make it so that if "that specific" hero is lost, the player immediately loses the game.

Although, to be honest, nothing works.

function gnom (heroname)
if heroname == "Hero9"
then MessageBox (GetMapDataPath().."ha.txt")
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, "Ha", nil);
end;
end;
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, "Ha", "ha"); ```
Here's another error. The script contains two functions named "gnom," but only one function named "ha." This could have been checked independently.

I'm a newbie. I forgot to add this to the map.xdb file: ``

Basically, I forgot about the line, so the scripts weren't working.

I've already fixed it.

function QuestPervii ()
  if HasArtefact ("Hero9", "TOME_OF_DESTRUCTION")  without quotes, incorrect id
    then MessageBox (GetMapDataPath().."QuestPervii.txt")
    ChangeHeroStat ("Hero9", STAT_DEFENSE, 7) STAT_DEFENCE
    RemoveArtefact ("Hero9", "TOME_OF_DESTRUCTION")  without quotes, incorrect id
   Trigger(OBJECT_TOUCH_TRIGGER, "Pervii", nil)
  else MessageBox (GetMapDataPath().."LoseL.txt")
end;
end;

function QuestVtoroi ()
  if HasArtefacts ("Hero9", "SKULL_OF_MARKAL")  incorrect function name, id without quotes, incorrect id
    then MessageBox (GetMapDataPath().."QuestVtoroi.txt")
    ChangeHeroStat ("Hero9", STAT_OFFENCE, 7)
    RemoveArtefact ("Hero9", "SKULL_OF_MARKAL" ) without quotes, incorrect id
  Trigger(OBJECT_TOUCH_TRIGGER, "Vtoroi", nil)
  else MessageBox (GetMapDataPath().."LoseLI.txt")
end;
end;

function alive()
	while IsHeroAlive("Hero9") do
		sleep(10)
	end
	Loose()
-- or --
  Loose(1)  remove, so as not to confuse anyone
end

Trigger(OBJECT__TRIGGER, 'X', 'capture_town')  incorrect trigger id, pointer to a non-existent function

To avoid dealing with various constants like REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER or TOME_OF_DESTRUCTION, it's better to replace them with numbers (all numbers are listed in the document IDs for scripts). This makes the code more compact and helps avoid several errors that are almost unnoticeable during debugging.

For example, the codes
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, "Gnom", "gnom")
and
Trigger(6, "Gnom", "gnom")
work the same, but the second entry is much more convenient to use.

Nargott wouldn't approve.
In Notepad++, where I write scripts, for example, when you enter the first letters of a constant, a list of words from the file is suggested, and you just need to choose one. This reduces the chance of making a mistake.

I need a script so that the mission fails after a hero dies. Thanks in advance.

The second one will work for any hero loss, the first one - only for death/escape.

The second one will trigger with any loss of a hero by the player, the first one - only upon death.

That's true. But in this specific case, loss = death and death = loss. If there were any transfers of a hero from one owner to another or something like that, then yes, there would be a difference. And even then, the trigger can be disabled at any time.

How can I make it so that the border guard demands money for further passage?

function borderGuard() QuestionBox("link to text with question", "bgok") end function bgok() local gold = GetPlayerResource(1, GOLD) if gold >= amount_of_gold then SetPlayerResource(1, GOLD, gold - amount_of_gold) RemoveObject("script name of border guard") else MessageBox("link to text with notification about lack of resources") end end SetObjectEnabled("script name of border guard", nil) Trigger(4, "script name of border guard", "borderGuard")

So, you can place any creature regardless of its color, right?

The color has no significance.
