The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

This wiki page should give you all the information you need to start with: https://wiki.wesnoth.org/AiWML I'm not a big expert with ai, I only got into it because some of my units made it go haywire, but this was enough to troubleshoot the error. If you have anything concrete you want to do then I t...

You could do [value] x=$leaderdeadsidevillages[$i].x y=$leaderdeadsidevillages[$i].y leader=$newrebelleader [/value] Thanks a lot, after a lot of debugging I got it to work as intended. I uploaded the finished mod to the add-on server under "Revolution and Civil War" for anyone interested.

Upon further testing I found out that the values of the id variables themselves are the problem.
A generic id would be something like 'Drake Blademaster-5'. Neither the space nor the - are compatible with the syntax from what I'm seeing.
Does anyone know of a way to circumvent this?

What I'm trying to do is making an array out of multiple variables, though for some reason using a variable as the name for the value in the array doesn't work and the game just saves the array as empty. What I did and which isn't working: {VARIABLE $newrebelleader "Id of the rebel leader"} [set_var...

Thank you guys, that helped a lot. I wasn't aware of unit variables at all. I gave the rebel leader a variable corresponding to his previous side, gave the units for that leader a variable with a value that is his id and upon the death of any rebel leader I just filter all units with his id as a val...

Hi, I'm trying to match a group of units to a specific leader, to switch them all over to another side once that specific leader dies. I tried this by giving every unit of that "batch" and their leader a status that's just a running number ($rebellionnumber, starting from 1001). Now I'm trying to ma...

Alright, thanks a lot for the quick response.

So pretty much the only way to make this work is putting the sides in a multiplayer scenario to begin with?

Hello there, I'd like to write a rebellion system to either implement in my Era or as a standalone modification. When a leader is killed, instead of losing it's win condition, I intent to make two units of that faction into leaders, put one of them in a different (ai controlled) side and randomly as...

Upon reading and trying a lot of what you guys wrote I tried setting the unit parameters in a way that units couldn't possibly want to attack my unit, with a huge healthpool and no useful abilities whatsoever, but they still attacked it like mad. I did some trial and error and found out that the rea...

Hi, I made an ability that lets a unit respawn at the location of one of the other units of it's faction upon death. I worked out most of the kinks, but one problem I still have is that the AI seems to 100% prioritize the unit with this ability. This leads to the AI basically being locked into attac...

Instead, the consequences are not looked at all, any event basically means that AI calculation is quite inaccurate. Exception would be if you used those 500 lines within predefined weapon special filters. I guess I'll do some tests to see if the experimental AI is also very slow on a clean installa...

Hallo everyone, I've made a multiplayer Era and whenever I use Experimental AI with that Era (particularly with a certain unit which has an ability that calls for an event on every attacker hit in every fight with a unit of it's faction as attacker which contains over 500 lines of WML code) the AI t...

Thanks, that did the trick.

Hi again. I'm trying to make an ability that spawns a goblin every time a turn starts while the unit with the ability is standing next to another goblin. It works fine as long as there is only one unit with said ability, but if there are multiple units with that ability, all the goblins will spawn f...
