The boss is a total shame that it does not. And does anyone know how to cutscene editor? This is already the last thing in the editor still can not.

niven, I never tried to use the cutscene editor, so I cannot give you any help about it.

Never mind. Efforts are also appreciated. As for the campaign, and is likely to be translated into English. So then you take her too.

Thanatoeil, I uploaded my map on maps4heroes website.

natalka,
I already downloaded your map (on june 28th).
I will have a look on it ; but you will have to be patient, as I don't work very often with the map editor.

natalka,
I sent you a detailed answer by mail.
About your map : it contains a lot of scripts (you made an impressive work). These scripts can be read to understand how H6-scripting works and be used as examples.
An alternative way to limit hero recruiting can be the use of the function "Scenario_SetGUIElement" : I think it allows to disable the "recruit hero"-button.

Thanatoeil, I know how I can crash the game with a script. I can't seem to find the script Toggle_hero ability ref . If it gets skill from hero I 'd be able to ban certain skills.

natalka,
I'm note sure to understand what you wrote : do you want to disable some hero's skills ?
I made some tests : I wasn't able to make "Toggle_HeroAbilltyRef" work.
About skills, I use the trigger "Scenario_SetSkill" with "ability" selected in the lists "PassiveAdventureAbilities" or "PassiveCombatAbilities".
I found a function that works (to disable skills) : Scenario_LockElement. But it disables a whole set of skills. For example, "AbilityTreeParagon" disables the first set of might skills.

Controling the tile passability
I found a way to have a tile passable for a player and not passable for the others.
1- Place a unit on a tile,
2- Make that this unit belongs to player A (either with the EntityProperties window or with the trigger "Scenario_SetOwner")
3- Disable the unit with the trigger "Scenario_SetEntityDisabled"
Result :
a- as the unit belongs to player A, all player A's heroes can pass through the unit
b- as the unit is ennemy to all other players, their heroes cannot pass through it. And as the unit is disabled , the ennemy heroes cannot start a fight against the unit.
It works for human players and AI players.
These two properties extend to the 9 tiles surrounding the unit.

Thanatoeil, do you think it is possible to create a random map template like for example h3 templates - jebus, balance..etc?
You must use map locations all over the place and it will be script heavy.
Only problem is that the terrain will always be the same. Maybe design 3-4 terrains on a map and you get to play on one terrain and can`t go to other terrains. You have to design a very big map. Only 4 different terrain layouts but better than a fixed map 
Do you think there are other obstacles?

I would say that it is theorically possible.
But it will represent a gigantic work, with a lot of gray areas :
- the passability is hard to control ; some places could be unreachable.
- all the bugs and the unknown functions of the editor will make it hard
- scripting will be huge : this makes checking and errors fixing very complicated,
Conclusion : I think it is better to spend time to build a customized map than to create a full randomized map.

Good news : for once, Ubituos fixed something in the map editor.
I noticed, in the map editor 2.1.1, that the trigger "GetEntityInTownVisiting" works now.
So, it's now possible to know the names of all the heroes in town (with "GetEntityInTownGarrison" and "GetEntityInTownVisiting"). This means that it is possible to know the name of the newly recruited hero, even if another hero is already in town.

Heroes handling
To handle the heroes, I use the following way :
I save the hero entity name in entity variables :
- h0 for the faction hero
- h1 for the 1st recruited hero
- h2 for the 2nd recruited hero
- ....
I stop at h9, as the 10th hero costs at least 500 000 gold to recruit.
To identify all the heroes from one player, I give each of them a quest item ; quest items cannot be given or be sold, so the hero must keep it. Even if the hero is killed in a combat against neutral creature, he keeps the quest item.
If the hero is defeated by an enemy hero, he loses the quest item. But the daily script (see #1) give him the quest item back while he is still to be resurrected in the hall of heroes
List of scripts :
> On game start
set entity variable : h0 = faction hero
> Event trigger
#1(daily) remove the quest items from all heroes (all players) : Scenario_RemoveArtifactsFromPlayer
give the quest item to all listed heroes : for h0 to h9, Scenario_GiveItem
#2(on recruit) if a new hero is recruited, add him to the list and give him the quest item
condition : IsPlayerBuyHero
check for each town owned by the player
- is a hero in garrison (GetEntityInTownGarrison is different from ScenarioEntity Nothing) ; if this hero has no quest item, this means this hero is the recruited hero
- is a hero in visit (GetEntityInTownVisiting is different from ScenarioEntity Nothing) ; if this hero has no quest item, this means this hero is the recruited hero
Take the name of the recruited hero (SetEntityVariable new_hero to GetEntityInTown....) and launch the script setting the first free hero variable (h1 to h9) with new_hero.
So, Natalka, if you use something like this you can handle all the heroes on map and remove the army of the hero you want.

Yes, they will be removed.
I don't know any function that remove hero's army before he is hired.
And if there are creatures in the garrison slot, as soon as a hero is hired, garrison creatures and hero creatures are mixed, and it is no more possible to sort them.
I was thinking about another solution, unfortunately it's a very complicated solution.
The idea is : if there is any creature in the garrison slot, then hero cannot be hired.
But there is no direct function to obtain this result :
- IsTownTabOpened / HallOfHeroes (test if the hero hiring is open)
- if GetNumberOfCreatureInArmy (from Entity "the chosen town") is not equal to 0
>>>1st problem : this condition works with a kind of unit ; this means all type of units (sentinel, sister, crossbowman,............) have to be tested.
-- then ... 2nd problem : I found only one way to prevent hero to be hired, by quitting the town screen.
The function Scenario_OpenQuestWindow open the quest window, and thus make you quit the town window.
But if you find a simpler way to obtain this result, maybe it can help you.
