The Heroes Round Table

Try function event() local day; day = GetDate(DAY); -- First event if day == 28 then OpenCircleFog(145,88,1,5,PLAYER_3); DeployReserveHero("Nemor",145,88,1); -- Nemor is Deirdre's scriptname end; -- Second event if day == xx then <do some cool stuff on day xx> end; -- Third event if day ==...

It is a prerequisite for Ugrash' Call

My map is a single player map with all 6 positions playable by the human player. Scripting will not work without using PLAYER_2 for blue, PLAYER_2 for green, ect.

Cool, nice to know. Guess I will get to use player = GetCurrentPlayer()

I'm a hero of the round table, well at least according to the banner at the top of this page

Actually ... if you look under your name, you are a peasant

I hope you don't assume that I wouldn't understand such a basic thing I am curious what's taking time before I have uncovered a LOT of objects?

No no ... was referring to everyone else of course!

Warning: Long and patronizing post :D Please do not take this personal. The following should prevent a lot of bugs that can be very hard to spot. As long as you work within one file, IMO it is not necessary to define them at all before giving them a value. They are automatically defined when first ...

is setting global variables the same as using this command? SetGameVar(Name, Value); - sets the name of the games general variable The SetGameVar() function is not built into LUA. It is defined by the developers themselves. I havent found it in the .pak files, but I will take a look because I am cu...

I think you would all be surprised at the amount of polygons in H5 maps. Every single object are rendered 3d with lighting effects. In addition many of those are animated 3d objects. Have you ever zoomed in and looked at the detail level. Even at low settings its kind of pretty :) When you have unco...

In assignments (string= "somestring") and comparisons (string == "somestring") only string values can and must be enclosed in quotes. Numerical, and Boolean values are never in quotes. Comparisons always return a Boolean value. Boolean (true/false) are not written in quotes. You ...

All the names of the variable n are misspelled in the if statements: if (IsHeroAlive ("hero1") == no and variable1 == 1) then MessageBox("Maps/SingleMissions/test/test.txt"); var ib le1 == 0; -- this will reset the varible so the above statement wont be true again thus the above ...

My system: P4 2.5Ghz, 1GB RAM, FX5200 gpu (AGP x4). It was cutting edge 5 years ago :) I get bad fps problems when the camera pitch is low, but top down view it works quite well. Never had the AI take 10 mins on a turn ... maybe 3 at most and I have played the maps mentioned. I run TuneXP for some o...

The heroname parameter just makes that variable available for the function and is optional. It is misleading the way it is used in the documentation because the function itself does not use the variable heroname . The parameter is probably a leftover from a copy/paste operation ;) It sometimes works...

I also want this kind of triggering to function so I have done some research. My code is at the very end. Setup XL (too big for you), 1v1, human vs computer, human is always PLAYER_1. Map properties: player specific objective for [0] Name = PRIMARY_1, Kind: OBJECTIVE_KIND_MANUAL. No other parameters...

Have you found any error messages in the console? Also try to insert a debug print line like this: function objectivecomplete (heroname) print('Objectivestate function triggered'); By the way. Remove the quotes in if GetObjectiveState ("testobjective") . Using quotes here mean you send the...

Two ways:

Make an array of all the hero specialty skills and match them to town type, or make an array of all the hero IngameNames and match them to town type.

I made an example of the last option here:
http://www.celestialheavens.com/forums/ ... php?t=4035

It would help to know what error message you get, if any. I always reference arrays with brackets: humanmainheroe = humanheroelist[0]; It is also worth mentioning that LUA starts indexes for arrays at the number 1, but the function GetPlayerHeroes() returns an array with index starting at 0, as you ...

From what I have gleaned by peeking inside the .pak files, and trying to make some scripts I think the problem is in the design/architecture. A script has access to a lot of different resources, and each player can have virtually unlimited amounts of customized content spread across severa files. To...

There are different patches for different regions (USA, UK, EU atc.). In addition, the collectors' editions have their own patches. Its all about finding the correct ones. Here are some links to patch related guides: Want all the patches? Look here: http://patches.ubi.com/heroes_might_magic_5/ A sma...

I can positively confirm that scripts are not allowed in multiplayer maps.
