The Heroes Round Table

I want to play a visual effect after I add creatures in combat. I wanted to play the raise dead visual effect.

Im not sure what you mean. What is lowercase.. The PlayVisualEffect function?


This is for Heroes 5

I have been using this function to create visual effects on the adventure map but I wanted to know if I could play a visual effect during combat on the arena map. Whenever I try to play a visual effect inside a combat script the visual effect does not play. Please help if you can.

I finally got this to work now. It appears that combat scripts only work on heroes. So I switched the combat script to be on the players hero that will be attacking the town hero. The script then triggers and works fine.

I am trying to get the defending hero to add creatures after the curent army is destroyed. The script works great for my hero outside of towns. This is my script and I have tried putting it on the town but it wone trigger. function Reinforcements() repeat sleep(10); len = length(GetDefenderCreatures...

Heroes 5

I have a comabt script tha works great on the hero but when the hero enters a town the script stops functioning. I tried putting the script on the combat script for the town but it never triggers. Can anyone tell me how to get a Combat script to trigger in a town?

function MoveArtifacts(Player) if IsHeroAlive("Freyda") then SaveArtifacts("Freyda", "Havez"); end; function SaveArtifacts(heroname, mulename) if HasArtefact(heroname, ARTIFACT_DRAGON_SCALE_ARMOR) then TeachHeroSpell(mulename, SPELL_MAGIC_ARROW); end; end; function Loa...

I have tried this many times and none of the set artifacts transfer. Maybe Im missing something but I have not found a way to transfer set artifacts. There is an option called ImportantArtifacts with a setting called PreservingArtifacts . I added my set artifact under that parameter and nothing chan...

How can you transfer an artifact from a hero in mission1 to mission2. I see that you can carryover heroes but how do you carryover artifacts?

First I would like to thank everyone who helped me with my scripting problems. I spend a large amount of time developing these maps and truely respect your help. Now.. I'm almost finished with my first scenario but I cannot find out how to add cut scenes or dialog scenes. Im not sure what they are c...

Mine seem to show up as Greater Treants.

Here are some pics: The first one is the way it looks in the editor. The second one is the way it looks in the game. The hut still functions though.

When I design the seer hut it displays as the hut in the editor but when I play the game the hut has the image of a Treant Guardian.

I want a certain action to happen when a creature is slain.


When I put the script under the script section of the creature dialog (combat) but the script fires before combat.

Please help if you can. I cant find out where to place the code.

You will not see the new point of light in the editor unless you switch to the underground and then back to topside. If that doesn't work for you let me know and I'll go through the process step by step. GOW Not sure exactly what you mean.. I did try to view the light while playing the scenario not...

Thanks.. I never thought of that. I guess its my strict programming nature that I dont try things outside the box, hehe. Last night I spent some more time designing and I cam across another problem. I cannot get the "points of light" to work on an object.. I tried to use the exact example ...

How do you make an objective (trigger) to show up on day #1. I understand how to setup an objective but if they are set to be active already then they don't show the new objective box or the target glance location on day one. - I tried having the active state being turned on when using a DAY trigger...

Thanks Grumpy Old Wizard.

Thats exactly what my problem was. I did not know the triggers were so specific. Sill learning the script language. Thank you

Should work. I would double check that the "TestScript" function itself is correct. And the syntax everywhere... Hmmm . . . can someone provide an example of a function that works when capturing a town so I can compare? I can try. Firstly open object properties tree (of the town which wil...
