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?

Code: Select all

[filter]
   [enemy_of]
        side=1
   [/enemy_of]
[/filter]
[filter_second]
    side=1
[/filter_second]

You can use die or last breath for when the enemy leader dies and capture for when a village is captured as triggers. Then when one of those things happens you just need to check if the other two conditions are met and if so [endlevel]. [have_unit] can test if the enemy leader is alive/dead. Checkin...

Ah, hadn't seen that. Thanks.

I want to print a message only if the number of undead, both on the map and on the recall list. This has led me to some questions. So many it's time to ask for help. (I know, use lua. But I want to learn some stuff) [message] speaker=Efraim message= _ "Good point. Perhaps we should have brought...

I just search the mainline campaigns, for example:

I assume you're familiar with the various turn events, like new_turn or side_2_turn:

Code: Select all

                   [gold]
                        side=2
                        amount=100
                    [/gold]

However, if you only store those units purely to associate them with the micro_ai I think you could replace all your code with: I think that's quite different. The first looks like "If you're not in the water/swamp or near some location RIGHT NOW you get assigned the mai". The second look...

https://wiki.wesnoth.org/EventWML#sighted The primary unit is the unit that became visible, and the secondary unit belongs to the side that now sees the primary unit. Sounds like you want to make sure that a unit not on side 1 is seen by a unit on side 1. JUST GUESSING HERE, but something like: [fil...

I'm looking at creating a few units whose mission is to target a human-controlled leader. At the moment, using the simple_attack micro_ai. Each time I create one of these units, I create a CA for it, so I end up with something like this: [candidate_action] enabled=yes engine="lua" id="...

It should work in 1.18, though there may be just a little strangeness most people won't notice.

But, yeah, AFAIK there's no 1.18 version published on the addons client/web, so git or the web version for 1.16.
