Scripting help
Ok have what I hope to be a simple scripting problem. However since I have no scripting ability whatsoever, I am asking for help. The loading screen should say the following.
"Two kingdoms have been fighting for years. They have heard of newly discovered area that will tip the balance for whichever side reaches there first. All that stands in their way is some huge dungeon garrisons. It is time for them to make a Power Grab."
Claiming the area won't be the winning criteria however (destroying the other town will be). It would be much easier if I could send it to somebody to be scripted (I am really really horrible at this stuff).

You don't need a script - just copy the text to the Map Description.

Just one note, it's somewhat important to the mapmaker: Make sure to not change any thing in the Shared, make new ones. It's very boring to set back things to ho they first was(hint hint Vlaad)Like on the RotK map, Svea was totally changed into Gandalf and it was like that in every map

You are right, but you'll just confuse her further - it has nothing to do with scripting.

Yeah, sorry Mytical. Just ignore it until you want to make some hard, campaign story map.

Open your map in the editor, then look for the Map Properties icon on the upper bar (it's the fifth from the right). Open the Map Properties and copy-paste the text into the Map Description box.
You'll need to set other parameters in the Map Properties too (map name, player properties, etc).

Hmm, thanks. Hehe can't even do a simple map. Well it should be testable soon, I hope. Nothing fancy or too complicated though.

Wow, making even the most simple map is really difficult. I have even more respect for mapmakers then before. My 'simple' map probably won't be testable for a year (have to redo most of the creatures which seem to be set, and the spell 'shrines' almost always gives out the same spell). Driving me absolutely buggy.

Arrange the scenery such that the hero has only a limited area in front of the castle to move around in, but leave a clear entry way into this area. Place a region on the map across the entry way and use the SetRegionBlocked() function to make that region blocked for that player. Unfortunately it is more difficult to block the region for just that hero. It can be done with a conditional statement to turn the block on for just that hero, and off for other heroes, but you would need to learn a lot about scripting to do that. Download the The Basics of Heroes V Scripting ver. 2.0 for H5, HOF, & ToTE guide from here:
http://www.celestialheavens.com/viewpage.php?id=567. If you have any programming background, even as a hobby, you should be able to figure out how to do it in a weekend. It is a hard learning curve, but you can work wonders with it once your get past it.
