How to restrict witch huts (/universities/...) to a choice of skills?
How does the monster-selection work in script20.erm (by Pulver & Jonnson)?
Are monsters chosen from a player's army? If so, how to get them chosen from all available (influenced by strongest creature owned by any player)?
How to restrict monster weeks to a choice (/list) of monsters?
How to generate a few (and different) monsters (on the map) each day (or by trigger)?
I'd like to make a script doing the following:
Each step a hero moves, there shall be a small chance of a few creatures (from one or more types) appearing, willing to join the hero (or fightable by choice). How can it be done?

It's rather complicated. The "week of" cycles through each type of week -- one for each player plus one resource week plus one random week, but it also "remembers" the last monster chosen for a player or week and won't repeat it the next time through the sequence (at least it shouldn't).
The actual selection from a player's army is done the week before -- all heroes are cycled through and one is chosen randomly. If I recall, the town garrisons may also be used if a hero isn't on the adventure map.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but the script is complex and I don't even like editing it too much anymore because it's really easy to mess things up.

You'd probably have to write a new script. It could take awhile. Doing a "week of" script is more complex than it seems (at least it was for me).

You would need a script with a daily timer and then to generate a random number for the monster type. Then generate another set of numbers for location and place the monsters with the UN:I command (as long as the location is empty and clear).

Use a !?HM-1; trigger for hero movement. This will activate each step a hero takes.
Then, generate a random number for the monster (see the Format C list). See the VR receiver for information about generating random numbers but it's something like the following: !!VRv1:S0 R173;
Note, there are some numbers you'll always want to skip--the war machines, ghosts, unused entries, etc.
Use the HE-1:C2 command to give monsters to a hero. You can ask beforehand with an IF:Q dialogue if you want to give the player a choice. To have the monster fight, use an HE-1:T command to initiate a battle (see the HE receiver for details) -- v998/v999/v1000 will have the current hero location so you can use that for the battle location parameters.

You're welcome. I hope you're able to get your script working the way you want it.
