Oh, I'm still a bit slow.

Is that all? There's no loop or startThread? That's not right; you need to run this function, not just declare it. And you need an infinite loop.

function pokushenie()
while 1 do
if GetDate(DAY) == 42 then
MessageBox("Maps/SingleMissions/Five Plunderers/podzhigatel.txt", TeleporateHero);
break;
end;
sleep(2);
end;
end;

function TeleporateHero()
SetObjectPosition("Biara", 31, 129, 0);
end;

There are several directions you can take:
Write scripts in editors with syntax checking, such as HoMM5 MapScriptsEditor. At a minimum, it will immediately issue warnings for minor typos, plus it offers autocompletion of function names and parameter hints (although this works somewhat glitchy).
Comment out the entire script code, then uncomment it in small chunks, a few lines at a time, and check if it works, or fix it until it works, and only then move on to the next part. You can mark what already works in some way so that you don't have to check it again next time.
Place test debug messages in the code, such as print('this function has been executed'). This makes it easy to see which section of code has been executed and which has not.
A particularly useful feature is debugging code without leaving the game. Create a .lua file in Unicode encoding in the "path_to_heroes/data" folder, write the code you are unsure about in it, and you can add, for example, print('script OK') at the end of the file. Load the map, open the console, and type @doFile('filename.lua'). If you see the green message 'script OK' in the console, the code is working; if not, close Heroes, work on the file, don't forget to save, return to Heroes, and enter the same command in the console (you can just press the up arrow button). Repeat until the code works.

I place a hero, enter EnableHeroAI and MoveHero, in MoveHero I set the coordinates, and the only path to them leads through a hostile (empty) garrison, and... the hero stays put. If I set the coordinates in front of the garrison, he walks there perfectly. He also attacks the garrison without any problems, but he doesn't want to simply pass through it. Can you tell me what the problem is?

Write MoveHero to a cell next to the garrison, then another MoveHero (to the garrison cell), and then continue.
Or you can also include MakeHeroInteractWithObject in this sequence for aesthetics (I assume that if someone is in the garrison, the script will only become more stable because of this).

I don't know.
