MakeHeroReturnToTavernAfterDeath

[Mushimoo]

I'm attempting to use this script command in my created map. The basic attempt is to have a single hero for all forces the entire time, none of which are entirely defeatable. So I banned all heroes except the few I made and now want this trigger to work. Does anyone know the correct scripting I would to input to use this effectively? This is what I have.

MakeHeroReturnToTavernAfterDeath ( "Hero8" , true, "heroShouldStayAtTavernUntilHired" = 0 )

The Editor recognizes all those commands, yet when I test it, my Hero just disappears into the oblivion after he dies. Anyone have a clue how to work this trigger?

I bet this is not about the original Heroes games?..

[Mushimoo]

It is, its about HoMM5, making a map. The title is the name of the command I am trying to figure out.

[GreatEmerald]

MMH5 is not original, it's the Ashan universe :p Original universe is HoMM1-4 and MM1-8, with MM9 being questionable.

Correct code for your case:

Code: Select all

MakeHeroReturnToTavernAfterDeath("Hero8",not nil, 1)

P.S. True and false constans are not defined. Use 'not nil' and 'nil' instead.

[Mushimoo]

I put

MakeHeroReturnToTavernAfterDeath ("Hero8". not nil, 1)

and still no luck. I've read some scripting guides, and followed the directions, but it still isn't working.

For clarification, the Adobe Document "HOMM5_A2_Script_Functions" says "heroShouldStayAtTavernUntilHired" is part of the syntax, but is that something I have to put in the script, or is it just the document telling me what the last part of the script command stands for?

You're obviously not a programmer. Syntax is a set of rules that defines interface of a function. There are special notations that are used worldwide, and programmers do understand them. For example if a func description tells something like this
MyFunction (parameter1, parameter2 = 0 )
it means that you can omit parameter2 in which case the compiler will assume that it has value of 0. In other words, 0 is the default value for the parameter2, and you only have to input it only if you want a non-default value for this.

As for your case.

MakeHeroReturnToTavernAfterDeath ("Hero8". not nil, 1)

You have a dot not a comma in your code?

As Franzy indicated in his post:

MakeHeroReturnToTavernAfterDeath ("Heam", not nil, 1);

Works perfectly. In my instance Findan was returned to the tavern in the second position.

I then attempted to tinker with the statement:

humanplayer = GetCurrentPlayer();
Trigger(PLAYER_REMOVE_HERO_TRIGGER,humanplayer, "deadguy");
function deadguy(killedhero)
MakeHeroReturnToTavernAfterDeath (killedhero, not nil, 1);
end;

This did not work.

[Franzy]

That's because deadguy function is called AFTER hero death, while you need to use MakeHeroReturnToTavernAfterDeath BEFORE death. I suggest using PLAYER_ADD_HERO trigher instead.

Nice idea, tried it and worked perfectly, thanks.
