Hi, im new to the whole Map Making scene. Could someone please answer a few of my questions please? Thanks In Advance

1. How do I change the ambient lights in the combat phase/walking map/towns? I saw few screenshots of it being night time and i'm wondering how to change the lights like that

2. How do I add triggers? I remember in Heroes 3(never played 4) It was really easy to make a basic trigger. For example how could I make it so your hero walks into a certain area and a Message Pops up?

3. What are rumours for? <SOLVED>

4. How do i set victory conditions?

5. One more simple question, how do i deselect? <SOLVED>
EDIT: Ehm how do I make It so i can play my map? Its a Multiplayer map. Thanks

Sorry i realise these are really noob questions
Thanks In advance!!

question one -

here is probably the answer

question two is more complicated, open your documentation called "script functions" then jump to the trigger sections. these script commands are used like this as an example of a trigger based script -

function airstronghold ()

if GetCurrentPlayer () == PLAYER_1 then
MessageBox("Maps/SingleMissions/Fury of the Elements/airtouch1.txt");
Trigger(OBJECT_TOUCH_TRIGGER, "airconflux", nil );
end;
end;

which displays a message when player1 touches a certain object named airconflux. the trigger being OBJECT_TOUCH_TRIGGER.


question 4 -

can be answered in the editor documentation called "editor theory" starting page 24
