So what you're saying is that:
Script should be:
!#MA:A123/10; [attack]
and map trigger script should be:
!!MA:A123/20; [attack]
And the creature in the map (and only in the map) would have 20 attack right?

It works this way:
ZVSE
1)
!#MA:A123/100; [attack]
2)
!?PI;
!!MA:A123/200; [attack]
(now creature has 200 attack)
3)
!#TM$:S1/999/1/255; each day
!?TM$;
!!MA:A123/300; [attack]
4)
!?OB1/1/1;
!!MA:A123/400; [attack]
When map loads, the creature will have 300 attack. When object is visited creature will have 400 attack. Next day, time trigger will again put it at 300. Hope is clear.

If I recall correctly, ERM Help says that instructions (!#) are executed before the map is loaded, and !?PI triggers when the map is loaded but not started. So if an instruction sets a particular Hero to level 2 and the Map Editor sets that same Hero to level 10, the Hero will be at level 10 at the start of the game. But if a PI trigger sets that same Hero to level 5, it will be level 5 at the start of a game.
However, no one should trust my memory when they can a) read ERM Help, and b) make a simple test in a test map.

So I'm replacing the commander of the conflux with Tolberti from MM7 but only the def during battle using
!!UN:C7894228/1/51; [ZM182NPC.def -> ZM183NPC.def]
!!VRz543:S^Tolberti^;
where I've added the tolberti def as zm183npc.def
This works perfectly when on the attacker side, but on the defender side the def is still the astral spirit!!! How can this be? I've replaced the def in memory but it's still there?
Very confused

There is another entry of ZM182NPC.def, at higher address (9*16 bytes if I did the math right). WoG uses creature IDs for commanders quite inefficiently - one ID per faction for each side which makes 18 IDs reserved for commanders.

Simpler question: I have 2 units with the exact same flags, one is level 7 the other level 8. I can resurrect the level 7 but not the level 8, why? I've made him a level 7 as well but still it says "This spell will affect no one"
What's going on?

Make sure your test map has no experience enabled (UN:P900/0) and that you have enough spell power to cast it for high HP creatures. If still not working, then no idea.

Ah it was the hero level and I see how apparently you cannot increase spellpower during combat. So if I want to always be able to resurrect a creature, is there a way to get around this? I believe I tried setting its type to some low level creature, casting then reverting back, but still a crash...

You must add the flags. Shooter is 4, undead 262144 so do !!MA:X171/262148 and it will give both

I changed some object defs around but on the map they are cut in half or a portion of them anyway. Is there a way to change an object's passability and visibility in the map?
I wanted to exchange the original magic mushrooms with the altars of Elements that Astaroth made. But in most of the cases they don't appear normal in the map.

I made some creatures from commanders. Because they are commanders originally, so I cann't give them skill by !!EA:B script. And, when I enable "creatures gain exp", number of creatures in hero screen are missing. How to fix them?
Thanks.

I am not sure what problems you are describing, so this response may be irrelevant, but Commander creatures can be given special abilities with EA:B, but there are some restrictions.
Example (from my customized version of "Alexander the Great 1.01":
* ATG_ImmortalSquires3 - improved version - for "Alexander the Great 1.01"
* (Make Archangels clone Astral Spirits instead of AA's, because
* 2-hex wide clones can cause battle crashs when they overlap other stacks.)
!#UN:P51/0; [Enhanced Commanders is disabled]
!?PI;
!!EA191:B5/0/////////////;
!!EA191:B6/0/////////////;
!!EA191:B7/0/////////////;
!!EA191:B8/0/////////////;
!!EA191:B9/0/////////////;
!!EA191:B10/0/////////////;
!!EA191:B11/0/////////////;
!!EA191:B12/0/////////////; Astral Spirits
!!EA191:B5/1/104/69/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50; 500%>Ghost Dragons
!!EA191:B6/1/104/111/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50; 500%>Chaos Hydras
!!EA191:B7/1/104/55/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50; 500%>Archdevils
** Alex's other troops get this one later:
!!EA191:B8/1/119/49/1/0/0/0/1/1/1/1/1/1/1;immunity to level 1 hostile spells
!!EA191:B9/1/104/109/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50; 500%>Wyverns Monarch
!!EA191:B10/1/104/53/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50; 500%>Effrets sultans
This works, because there are no Astral Spirit Commanders in the map (in fact, no Commanders at all). When there are actual Commanders and "Commander creatures" of the same creature number in a battle, WoG gets confused.
However, when a map does have Commanders, it is still possible to have Commander creatures in a battle, as long as:
1) The creature numbers of the Commander creatures are not the same as those of any actual Commanders which are in the same battle. For example, if the Hero has a Paladin Commander and is attacking, then his Commander is type 174, so a creature of type 183 (Paladin defender) could be used in that battle (unless there is an enemy Hero with that creature type).
2) The EA:B commands must be applied to the Commander creatures in battle only, under a BF or BR trigger. If they were set under PI, as in the example above, going into battle would over-write them with the standard Commander options.
An example, from the map "Stargate Atlantis" (not to be confused with the better map "Stargate Atlantis Rising":
!?FU380; check for Teyla the Temple Guardian in stacks 0-6 and 21-27
!!VRv1:S1000; v1=stack # for Teyla, if any
!!DO376/0/6/1:P176; check stacks 0-6 for type 176 (Teyla)
!!DO376/21/27/1&v1=1000:P176;
**IF:M^Stack check for Teyla: v1 = %V1^;
!!FU&v1=1000:E;
!!VRv1:+1*-1; convert 0 to -1, 1 to -2, etc., for EA- commands
!!EAv1:B0/1/65/43/0/1/2/2/3/4/5/6/6/7/8;
!!EAv1:B1/1/68/43/0/1/2/3/3/4/4/5/6/7/8;
!!EAv1:B2/1/77/43/0/0/1/1/2/2/3/3/4/4/5;
!!EAv1:B3/1/109/43/0/0/0/1/2/2/3/3/4/4/4;
!!EAv1:B4/1/72/37/0/5/10/15/20/25/30/35/40/45/50;
!!EAv1:B5/1/83/43/0/0/0/0/1/1/1/1/1/1/2;
!!EAv1:B6/1/66/61/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50/50; block
!!EAv1:B7/1/102/65/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1; attack all around
!!EAv1:B8/1/102/82/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1; No retaliation
!!EAv1:B9/1/104/144/20/20/20/20/20/20/20/20/20/20/20; 200%>Hybrids (Trolls)
!!EAv1:B10/1/104/65/30/30/30/30/30/30/30/30/30/30/30; 300%>Michael (Power Liches)
Also note: in case 1 (Commanders are disabled in the map, Commander creatures are given EA:B abilities under a PI trigger), you cannot access the creature experience screen for the Commander creature from the Hero Screen, but you can access it in battle.
I figured out all these things by experimenting in test maps and deducing the above rules from my observations, so my analysis might be incomplete or faulty, but that is the best information I can supply. I hope it helps.

Months ago, someone shared a UN:C command for enabling music in map instructions, but I can't remember where it was and forgot to store it. Please, if someone still has it, I badly need for Atlantis ERA conversion.

Thanks, I have no idea how this works. I enabled FU77999 in instructions, my game always starts with sound and effects at 0.
code used:
!#FU77999:P1/2;
I was more looking for that UN:C command which changed music volume and was flexible. Or maybe make it work with quick savings, but I don't get it.
