The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Well that was educational Thank you all! Looks like I have some re-wiring to do!

I'm trying to apply traits to my units but nothing I've done has worked. Important?: the units I'm trying to get this to work on are "can_recruit=yes" and are placed on the map, not recruited. Here's the relevant code: From _main.cfg -- I reference the units.cfg file: [+units] {campaigns/L...

I also discovered after killing a unit via [kill] id={id}[/kill] that you cannot use that id again as a hero.

SOLVED:

Looks like I required a leader to properly load the map and unstore units.

So I guess for lack of a more smooth operation, I'll create a leader, spawn my army, then kill the would-be leader.

I threw the unstore code into scenario 1 and it worked there, so it's definitely something to do with the timing of the unstore. I tried moving the 'start' event after the 'prestart' event - still doesn't work. I also tried changing it to a 'prestart' event as well - no luck. Perhaps this is the iss...

I've confirmed, the IDs are set when the units are created. Both code snippets in my prior comment are solely stored within in the [scenario] tag and come after [side] tags and are generally in chronological order. Also, the teleport event is working in the first scenario. :hmm: If anyone wouldn't m...

2-3 years ago I started working on a campaign and am trying to revive my work. Rusty on WML, but for the most part I've been able to figure things out. Now I'm trying to store units, change the scenario, and unstore the units. The problem is, when the 2nd scenario starts, no units are unstored! So I...

+1 for taking action.

Emailed armorgames (not sure if they have a policy on this), but that's just a starting point.

I'll take a look into both options. At least I've got somewhere to start now. Thanks!

I'm not very proficient with variables yet... So I guess my question is, how do I set a variable for whatever $x1 or $y1 end up being?

An enemy unit drops some treasure upon his death... Specific units can then "use" the item (not necessarily to carry - I'm not that good with WML yet), but at least to trigger an event. The only problem I'm having is how to reference where the item is once it's been placed (how to trigger ...

thank you, I thought I had added them but I forgot. Also, could you clarify who TSR and D&D are? TSR is (or was) a game publishing company - they published "D&D" or "Dungeons and Dragons", an extremely popular pen and paper fantasy themed game... D&D has had a major ...

That did the trick - thanks!

I'm sure this is a stupid/trivial question... I've already read the FilterLocationWML and TerrainCodesWML , but have been unable to get this event to work if the terrain has an overlay. [event] name=moveto [filter] [filter_location] terrain=Sm* [/filter_location] [/filter] [message] speaker=unit mes...

Okay I lied - had enough time to try it out.

Zookeeper's code worked. I made a minor addition to fit my specific situation, but since the event is 173 lines of code, I won't post the entire solution.

Thank you!!!
