WML question: Adding a new unit type in mp scenario

[Hieronymus]

I would like to add a new unit type to a multiplayer scenario by defining it it the scenario WML itself (so not having to add a WML file to the data/units dir). But I cannot get the game to find my unit type, it keeps sayin "Unit not found:'Treasure Guard'.

This is like what I currently have:

Code: Select all

[+units]
	[unit]
		id=Treasure Guard
		name= _ "Treasure Guard"
                ...
	[/unit]
[/units]

[unit]
   	side=1
   	x,y=10,10
   	type=Treasure Guard
[/unit]

Am I doing something wrong or is there no way to define new unit types in the scenario WML itself, except in campaigns, so I would have to add a file to the units directory?

Try putting it outside the scenario WML (before [scenario])

Other players on the internet would get unit-not-found errors even when you succeed at defining them. They are not transferred. You can work around it somewhat with various modifications to existing units ([effect], [unit_overlay], etc).

for example look to my war scenario, in 3 last units i modified parameters.
