The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I'm creating a unit, the suicide drone. It has a weapon special 'explosive detonation' whereby if it hits it explodes doing self.hitpoints to himself and all adjacent units. It also has trait 'unstable', so if you hit it with impact, again an Earth-shattering kaboom! Kind of a fun little guy. This a...

I have no idea, but that animation is perfect for something else I'm working on. Thanks!

Currently, I'm doing this: dialog.unit_info_mp:add_item_of_type("empty_page") dialog.unit_info_mp:add_item_of_type("unit_info_page") ... dialog.unit_info_mp[2].unit_info_preview.unit = wesnoth.units.find{ id = unit.id }[1] dialog.unit_info_mp.selected_index = 2 I'd like to be doi...

I fixed issue #1 by setting vertical_alignment="top" on the column that contains the grid that contains the left "half" of the dialog. local dialogDefinition = { T.tooltip { id = "tooltip" }, T.helptip { id = "tooltip_large" }, T.linked_group { id = "ar_p...

WML and I don't get along real well. It does a lot of things I don't like, I assume in the name of being "user friendly". I'm just not sure if this is one of those times, or if it's a bug (I'm strongly in favor of the latter). In the following code, [harm_unit] always happens, regardless o...

I don't know if you could make the text_box invisible, I've only found doing that for a dialog (background). I was thinking maybe, MAYBE, you could hide it by putting it in a panel and then drawing something over it so you couldn't see the box, use focus to force it to get attention, and on_modified...

A text_box, focus(), and on_modified?

Sorry, I'll be quiet now.

I wonder if you could make the dialog transparent, then position the widgets carefully so it appears the dialog is where you want.

I can do a cave path+lit or a cave path+castle overlay in the map editor (which I'm very weak with). But can I do a cave path + castle overlay + lit?

I'm creating a suicide bomber. When it attacks on offense it explodes, killing itself and damaging all adjacent units for the attacker's hitpoints. I have all this working, but I can't get the sounds right. I want it to use explosion.ogg when the special is active, and lightning.ogg when it is not (...

Yeah, "doesn't work" isn't much to go on. I wonder if this will help (from a [unit] declaration): [modifications] [advancement] [effect] apply_to=new_ability [abilities] {ABILITY_NINJA} [/abilities] [/effect] [/advancement] [/modifications]

Thanks. The WFL stuff looks quite useful, but I think I'll just stick to lua.

Thanks!

foreach doesn't play well with removing elements of the array it is iterating over. I don't try to remember the rules, I just use for if I'm going to remove anything.

Actually, I made the assumption that any side != 1 is an enemy of side 1.

I have a hard time keeping the filter rules straight, I always have to look for an example, but something like this?
