Map Editor Objectives help wanted!
I'm working on a map called Vengeance, in which one of the objectives is to gather all eight Power of Dragons artifacts. I put the IDs of all eight artifacts into parameters, but only the first one seems to count (getting it completes the objective regardless of whether or not you have the others.)
Anyone know how to fix it?

You could get either my Power of Dragons or Dark World map and copy that objective. I'm not a scripter so NaadarSlo made that objective for me and it worked great.
Besides the script I would also verify what parameters he chose in the map drop-down inside the editor.
Edit= Btw, Only certain Heroes could complete the quest, you could look for that too.

Thanks! I'll try that.
Umm, this is embarrassing, but how do I find your map?

Your Power of Dragons map looks totally awesome. How did you manage to detail a map so huge?
Anyway, I got the objective itself to complete right, but now the reward (25 Attack) isn't working. Is there any way to do it without more crazy scripting? Whoever wrote that was a wizard.
Thanks so far!
EDIT: I noticed this during testing - since when does having all 8 artifacts give you a tier 5 creature each day? I was sure it was tier 7...
I have 3.0 right now if that makes a difference.

 TY The idea for the map's design was my repeat of the old classic H3 map (iirc)...Griffin King. As far as the detailing; that's the best part of making an H5 map.<L>

I don't remember 25 attack. Plus 5 to attack and defense of level 7's comes to mind. And yes, NaadirSlo was good, I miss his work.

I always got level-7s. And 3.1. is what you need for many more reasons. The following is from the Fan's manual:
Power of Dragons
Set bonuses
» For 2 items: Adds +1 to all hero's parameters.
» For 4 items: Provides a bonus of +5 Attack and
Defense to all tier 7 creatures in hero's
army, also increasing their hit points by
+20.
» For 6 items: Adds another +3 to all hero's
parameters (cumulative with the 2 items
bonus).
» For 8 items: Reinforces hero's army with one
tier 7 creature every day.
The creature is from the hero's native
town, preferably the classic upgrade, then
the alternate upgrade, then the base
creature, in this order.

As for 3.1, I don't play competitively (at least not yet ) and I haven't really noticed a need for it.
The 25 attack was the reward for completing the objective - not part of the set. Like how often, when you complete an objective, you get an experience boost. I give 25 attack 'cause by the time you get all 8 artifacts, you'll be over level 25.
I still have no idea about level 5 creatures. But I got some screenshots of silver unicorns being added to the army - I'll try to figure out how to post them.
EDIT: I've checked out your guide A LOT. It's super helpful, I just didn't realize you were the same person.
ANOTHER EDIT:
Finally! That took so much longer than it should have!
And here's the unicorn being added:

Seriously, can anyone understand or explain the above screenshots? Please? I'm nervous.

You should read about the 3.1 update here @ HC; because there are more than MP issues; there were many fixes and changes, (I doubt all are listed)maybe what you posted was one.
For a test; you could do the update and see if things then change to what is in the manual regarding the artifact-set...i.e.(level 7 creature).
Also Fyi, if you go with 3.1 then you can enjoy Q's A.I. It's found in the forum where my maps are located.

I tried changing a certain part in that script from NaadirSlo from 5 to 7, and tested it, and lo and behold, I got dragons!
I changed it back from 7 to 5, and I still got dragons. So I still don't know what it was (and the description still says tier 5)
As for the objective reward, I discovered a script function called ChangeHeroStat, inserted it into an appropriate place in the script, and it worked on the first try!
I even tried starting Vinrael off with 4 attack to make sure it gives him 25 attack instead of setting his attack to 25, and it did!
AH'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THIS!
Thanks for putting up with me and for all your help!

No trouble at all. Great news that you're are learning H5 scripting! Maybe one day you can help finish Books 3&4 of LoTA.
Fyi, also with Q's new A.I. work to soon arrive; we could make some new maps together in the near future.

What is this Q's AI I'm hearing so much about?
As for making maps - hey, why not? Except I might not have a lot of time as I'm pretty busy between school and my extracurriculars. I'll be posting the actual map soon (my friend is beta testing) so let me know what you think!

Quantomas is a talented A.I. visionary that released a much improved A.I. for H5,TotE,3.1. ---> First post Q and Rama have been working on his TBS-A.I. since then.
They're still at work (in the lab) but here's a recent post from Q:
Post 251
There is a lot more to read at the E.E. site about future plans.

If I'm ready to post my map to the world, what would be the best way to do so? Make a new thread to get feedback, post it on some map database?

AND HERE IS THE MAP!
Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
As you go through the map, it's gonna be really, really important to get as many of the elves on the path as you can. The idea is a lot like the Heroes II map The Road Home, in which you travel across the map, running from enemies way stronger than you, until you et home, get your troops, and bash them all into submission. You won't get 250 free phoenixes, but there should still be some pretty epic final battles against Lethos, Nymus, and Kaspar.
There will probably be some noobish mapmaker problems, so please bear with me. This is my first serious map.
And now, screenshots!
I had the dirt around the Necro castles spread out in tendrils, killing the trees like the corrupted soil was invading as well as the Necromancers themselves.
Good luck!

Hi! You should change the path of your text files in your map script
from
MessageBox("Maps/SingleMissions/Vengeance/UndeadIntro.txt");
MessageBox("Maps/SingleMissions/Vengeance/forestwarning.txt");
to
MessageBox("Maps/SingleMissions/Vengeance 1.0/UndeadIntro.txt");
MessageBox("Maps/SingleMissions/Vengeance 1.0/forestwarning.txt");
or
MessageBox(GetMapDataPath().."UndeadIntro.txt");
MessageBox(GetMapDataPath().."forestwarning.txt");

Yes. Yes I should. I had been calling it Vengeance throughout development, but I figured I should make it Vengeance 1.0 since I'd probably make some balance changes and stuff after I posted it. Thanks for catching that!

So I'm just getting into map editor, and I have ToTE expansion. Is there a way to edit the heroes to give them different specializations? It may seem corny, but I'd really like to kinda customize my own hero in a sense.
