The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

In theory you could implement a long-distance attack within the current interface - I'm not going to do it because I don't have time, but if anybody does then try this: Use a moveto event to trigger the whole thing after the ranged unit has moved, then store the locations and stats of every enemy un...

Just a thought, as I don't currently have a working game platform to test this with, and my WML skills are somewhat out-of-date, but how about this, admittedly rather ungainly, fix? Just before the XP-adding event triggers, identify all units that are about to recieve enough XP to advance. Store the...

it sounds like it was a nightmare before that... Yeah, it really was... There was also another form of essentially the same problem, in that if an [event] modified a unit's HP to 0 or less (generally to cause damage without a direct attack, for example something like a landmine or the dehydration e...

This is easy. Making the units advance is trickier - it can be done, but it's a bit hackish. Be aware, this code is written for 1.2.X, so it may need slight tweaking (not currently having a computer, I haven't upgraded versions in some time - I'm writing this from a cybercafe - so I've had no need t...

I'm back, but not for long... one cannot tell the ai to recruit unit x at turn y? You can, but you have to cheat a little. It's been so long since I touched WML, that I can't remeber the code for this off the top of my head, but the process is as follows: 1. When the condition for recruitment is met...

68. You invent WML solutions for (real-world) problems. 69. People on this forum start to seem more familiar than the guy next door. 70. You start planning a novel, read through your notes and realize that it's the plot of HttT. 71. You find yourself avoiding wooded areas, for fear of surprise Wose ...

Another quick fly-by answer... At the end of each scenario, [store] all (surviving) enemy units. Then find some way of separating different types of unit into separate arrays. When, in the next scenario, the AI recruits a unit, check to see if there is a stored unit of that type. If so, [kill] the n...

I happened to be in front of a computer, so I thought I'd drop in...

You might want to have a look at the Mystery Campaign, it seems very close to what you're trying to do.

*Scowls* Life is a pain in the ass... Due to an unexpected change in circumstances, my free time and access to a computer is about to be drastically reduced. As a result, I probably won't be around much, for an unknown length of time, so I don't know when Talamh will be ready for any form of release...

I was working on a construction-based mod, but you beat me to it with A New Land - and in the process, saved me a lot of work, so I'm happy to return the favour. If you make the maps, and any custom sprites/portraits that you want, and give me an extremely detailed description of every scenario (who...

You can do this - I haven't tested it, but in theory you should be able to store all the Loyalist units into an array and remove them from the recall list without completely removing the data. Later, do the same thing to store the Northerner units into another array (or maybe even the same one), and...

Also proposed here, along with a possible solution.

1. You have to exit the game and restart it (you've probably done that already) 2. When starting a multiplayer game, click the 'Era' button and select 'Imperial Era' - nothing is meant to be added to the existing (default) eras. 3. If 'Imperial Era' isn't on the list, check that it's been installed ...

Maybe there could be a variation on Fearless for neutral units?

How about, if a neutral unit has this trait, it gets a 25% bonus at dawn and dusk, without any penalty at other times?

Um, this is really simple... [store_unit] [filter] role=stoned [/filter] name=stoned_units kill=yes ###I realise this kills the units, but they should return on unstore? [/store_unit] It should say ' variable=stoned_units :P Currently you're effectively storing them to nowhere (no properly-defined v...
