The FOREACH macro is deprecated, use instead
The ABILITY_LEADERSHIP_LEVEL_1 ..5 macros are deprecated and are now aliases for the new more general ABILITY_LEADERSHIP macro.
The ~BRIGHTEN() (which was...

Here you can find configuration files to enable WML syntax highlighting for various text editors :
Gedit (and other Gnome based editors): Has full WML support and partial inline lua support.
wml.lang goes in /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs .
cobalt-wml.xml goes in...
The purpose of this thread is to provide links to particularly useful information and code examples of WML and Lua on the wiki, without cluttering up this forum with more and more stickies. As such, the wiki pages linked here should be kept working and up to date - if an unmodified piece of example...
Does you campaign produce obscure WML errors on startup and you don't know what line in your 2000 lines of WML causes it? Instead of going through everything line by line and try to spot the mistake you've made, or before posting your entire campaign on the forums in the hopes that someone wants to...
People often use WML attribute or tag names that are misspelled or just plain fictitious when trying to debug WML — or even tag structures that (to the trained eye) are logical to the writer but have no basis in reality. You should always look up the proper format first, and we have a dedicated...
The original post is a little bit too cluttered, much better issue description in this reply .

Hello,
I'm having a bit of a headache with . I'm trying to create a weapon special with some random effects, one if which is to transform the enemy unit to something if the...
Hi all, I am GForce, I have played this game for 15 years or so and since a few months started making my own scenarios to play with friends. Looking at wiki and forums, it was going very well in fact. But now I am moving from 1.10 to 1.14 as it will be discontinued, and two problems showed up that...
I have an allied AI side with no leaders (side 9).
This side is controlled by a couple of mirco_ais, mainly zone_guardian and healer_support.
The zone that the AI protects is the radius around the human player units (side 1), and it's own units (side 9).
I’m trying to implement the Formation ability from Under the Burning Sun on a custom unit I have inserted into the A New Land Era. (Formation adds +10% defense for each adjacent unit with the Formation ability.) From the UtBS folders, I’ve copied the code for #define SPECIAL_NOTES_FORMATION,...
I have an event that fires when one of a side's units is involved in an attack (either the attacker or the one attacked). I would like this unit to be the speaker of a .
I have tried assigning the unit to a variable and using that, but it doesn't seem to work.
All factions are remade with existing base units but adding some lower levels and giving 5 levels to great races units and 3 levels to animals (Falcons, gryphons, spiders etc.)
Bandits are no longer with dwarves but with orcs. Dwarves can recruit spiders now....
Hi,
I was trying to make a mark effect where the marked unit stays marked for one turn and during that turn all damage made to that unit is doubled. I have a problem where the unit has the mark ability displayed but when it hits, nothing happens (no problem with my ). I think the problem lies in...
I'm wondering how can I get the reference .id of the last unit created with ?
I want that unit to say something without giving it an explicit ID or role, because there could be more of them later on.
The location of the created unit is not always guaranteed, so can't use $x1,$y1 for that.
The...
Hi, I'm trying to make an ability that allows friendly units to teleport from a portal master to another portal master, but the tag doesn't work since it only allows the ability carrier to use the tunnel. I tried just setting a prestart event with a dummy ability, but that doesn't work either since...
I'm working on a multiplayer campaign with two chapters. When the player finishes the first chapter and starts the second I'd like to clear all unit recalls except the leader units.
I thought I could do this with and but it seems that expects a specific unit ID. Is there a way to clear all of...
Greetings, I am quite new here, and I have been trying to mess around with WML. I have been making a very simple one scenario campaign, just a zany nothingness about Galvanized Penguins. And I wrote about all of the main.cfg and the first scenario, and, it wont work, it wont even show up in the...
Some of the hides units are glitching on me when they attack. you can see them move from one hex to the next, but once they attack they are still invisible.
This is happening with units like Shadows and Elvish Avengers.
When it's my turn to attack them, I'm attacking and reacting to an...
Hey all, first post here, about six months into my hobby writing WML campaigns.
The majority of my coding issues have been pretty easy to find here on the forums (EarthCake, thank you for having all of my same problems right before I did, lol), but a couple issues have persisted and I can't find...
Hi, I wanted to ask a question that is probably silly.
Is there a way to make a unit have a mimic attack where they copy attacks and/or abilities of the enemy unit? (Sorry, if I wrote something wierd, I'm Italian!...)
Hi,
I am currently polishing my add-on campaign and trying to change my sloppy coding in something a little cleaner. I just have an issue with villages. I know there is a tag but it is only one village per tag making the code very long. I see that mainline campaigns (HttT,TtB) use...
I have a unit that uses to extend the Spearman. I would like to remove the first strike attack special for my unit.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use remove_specials . The examples in the forum all use but I have so far been unable to figure out the correct syntax to make it work in...
If a goal is defined for a side, then it will appear twice in the debug game inspector. anyone knows why?
And will this affect modify_ai action=delete goal?
Edit: How do I delete a goal anyway, what is the correct path?
I have name=protect_unit and the following didn't work.
I am trying to get an allied AI side to stay and defend an area until an event happens in the game, at which point I want the AI side to leave its defended area and attack enemies.
This is in reference to the micro_ai tests. wesnoth -t micro_ai_test
I couldn't figure out how to try the guardians scenario. Was I supposed to use droid on one of the sides?
The code for side 2 seems to be missing controller=ai and inside it's block there is a modify_ai for side=1. I don't...
I'm having some trouble getting a new function to work in multiplayer. Essentially I want to make it so as the leader advances, he can recruit higher level troops.
LEVELED_RECRUIT_LIST_TRIBE is a macro to add the required units to the recruitment list, however I am having trouble...
I tried Works ability from WML Abilities and it didn't work for me. I put first two pieces of code to my abilities.cfg and the last one to my unit file. I gave Works ability to my faction leader. Did I do something wrong or this code is obsolete and no longer works?
I found Jamit's Resizing Map Macros and attempted to make use of them in my Armageddon scenario.
I followed his setup steps listed but I've run into errors using them in my scenario in game.
Most of the macros work fine except for the RESIZED_MAP_REPLACE macro that replaces current map with a...
Ive been toying with a stealth mod and I've been experimenting with ai behaviour, but there is one thing I cannot pin down. I can use sighted events or to determine a unit that has been seen by the enemy, but I cannot determine which units are doing the seeing. In other words, I can store and...
