And if it won't be enough - there is documentation on Notion.
And here is a text version of the video:

Step 1: Set the Stage
1. Terrain Painting
- Choose terrain tools and assets that fit your scenario. For an ambush setting, use demonic dirt, orc land, and ominous lava lakes.
- Adjust details by painting mountains, burnt trees, and grasses to add depth.
- Use the Shift key to erase and refine your terrain.
2. Add Features
- Place rock formations, resize and rotate them for a rugged look. This step helps create a visually compelling and immersive battlefield.
Step 2: Place Heroes and Enemies
Add Characters
- Place Ardan and his adversaries - the Orc Sharpshooters and their leader, Ragnok.
2. Assign Teams and Tags
- Ardan → Player team, Alpha tag.
- Orcs + Ragnok → Team 1, Beta tag.
3. Adjust Stats
- Fine-tune HP, damage, and other attributes for balance.
Step 3: Create the Cutscene
1. Set Up a Trigger Region
- Define a region where the ambush begins as Ardan enters.
2. Build the Cutscene
- Add a trigger event: “When Ardan enters the region.”
- Create actions such as camera pans, dialogue sequences, and movement freezes to stage the ambush. Use the “Show Dialogue” action to add character conversations.
3. End the Scene
- Resume game time to transition seamlessly into battle.
Step 4: Design Quests
1. Main Quest: Defeat the Orcs.
- Sub-quest 1: Defeat Enemy Orcs (Progressive Task).
- Create a variable counter, Enemy Orcs, starting at 0.
- Sub-quest 2: Defeat Ragnok (Single Task).
- Triggered by his defeat at any point in the scenario.
2. Quest Flow
- Ensure tasks can be completed in any order for player flexibility.
Step 5: Link Triggers for Gameplay
1. Activate Quests
- Create a trigger to activate quests post-cutscene and reactivate Ardan’s movement.
2. Track Progress
- Add events for orc deaths: “When Sharpshooter dies”, increase the Enemy Orcs counter.
3. Complete Tasks
- Set conditions:
- “When counter reaches 2/2”, mark Defeat Enemy Orcs as complete.
- “When Ragnok dies”, mark Defeat Ragnok as complete.
Step 6: Mission Accomplished
1. Final Trigger
- Create a condition: All Beta enemies (orcs + Ragnok) are defeated.
2. Victory Actions
- Complete the main quest, fade the screen, and trigger a game win state to celebrate the player’s success![/expand]
