The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

The idea for the start was never to do with a surprise that will screw over the player or build up an army to get it destroyed. It was more for a story device and could prob be done as a story senario. I like the idea of surprises but ones that will add to the story and not take away from the gamepl...

done some reaserch and still dont know how to do this....I would put [side] in at the start for side 3......then use the tag [store side] around the side info? the unstore in the event i want it to be used in?

How do i create a side that doesnt start but comes in later....cant find the answer in the wiki!....

OMG so many edits

also.....that macros worked perfectly even with the variable for the location of the unit he is moving too....now i need to think of a better name

as you responded easier to put this in a new post.... I want to make a real unit rather than moving a fake unit. Looking at the WML events wiki I am only able to move a real unit in 1.9? and if so would the easiest way be to move a fake unit then create a unit in the location the fake unit moves too...

Seems i did not need help on that after all...I worked it out myself....also learning experiance to know with move_unit_fake the unit type needs to be in speach marks

does things like that usually need to be in speach marks?

I must be doing somthing wrong with the tag [move_unit_fake] as i have put it into a different even without the variables and the event still doesnt happen....so atm to simplify it i have [event] name=enemies defeated [move_unit_fake] type=mage x=13,13 y=13,8 side=2 [/move_unit_fake] [/event] will l...

Thank you mattsc..... I am progressing but very slowly now....am i being to thorough trying to test everything when I change it and also fiddling with every fine detail even if it is way beyond my ability?....I feel like this is gonna take an age even for the first senario. I have a working battle, ...

the message bit works perfectly and i didnt even know i could do it like that..... the random unit bit im still trying to wrap my head around it....more questions on it likely to follow! :-P edit: saw mattsc's post first... edit 2: works perfectly with ceres's way but i should eventually be able to ...

so i got it working and added a little bit [event] name=moveto first_time_only=no [filter] type=Necromancer [/filter] [store_locations] terrain=Gg^Egz [filter_adjacent_location] [filter] type=Necromancer [/filter] [/filter_adjacent_location] variable=gravehex [/store_locations] [unit] type=Draug x=$...

prob from the various things i tried to stop getting every gravehex on the map giving undead.......i will give it a look over again when i get hme from work will have to test it later but thinking about it if i have before the [store location] the filter unit that will sort out one of the problems (...

still not working right...when im next to the grave the undead is not rising......also with your code any unit moving made the undead rise (sorted this out with the order of things) and every grave hex filled with undead. At the moment i have [event] name=moveto first_time_only=no [filter] type=Necr...

thank you very much this works now. Now i just need to modify it a bit to see if i understand it! .....although i have thought of somthing to make it more 'realistic'....is it possible to make it so each grave can only produce one unit?

im unsure how to use this...but i have [event] name=moveto first_time_only=no [filter] [filter_adjacent_location] terrain=Gg^Egz [/filter_adjacent_location] type=Necromancer [/filter] [unit] type=Draug side=1 x,y= 12,11 [/unit] [/event] and seems to work but obviously trys to put the unit in the sam...

i have [event] name=moveto first_time_only=no [filter] [filter_adjacent_location] terrain=Gg^Egz radius=1 [/filter_adjacent_location] type=Necromancer [/filter] [/event] But i cant figure out how to put the unit in at all let alone put it on the grave hex. Im sure i will kick myself when i know and ...
