[special_filter] problem

Blitzmerker · Post by **Blitzmerker** » March 25th, 2007, 8:41 pm

What is wrong with the code?
This event does not trigger because of the [special_filter]? Why?

	[event]
	name=attack
	first_time_only=no
		[filter]
		type=Elvish Archer
		[/filter]
		[special_filter]
		weapon=bow
		[/special_filter]
		[message]
		speaker=unit
		message= _"I use a bow."
		[/message]
	[/event]

Are you possibly playing/testing with another language than (either) english set as Wesnoth's language?

I use Wesnoth 1.3.1. The set language is German. When the language is set to English it Works fine.

Ok. The bug then is that the weapon= filter filters on the translated weapon name, which of course is wrong (it should filter on the untranslated name). As this seems like it would be closely related to one other reported bug in weapon filtering, I'll add this one as a comment to that for now (since it's probably easy to fix at the same time).

you could try weapon= _ "bow" as a workaround until it is fixed.

Does not work

Code: Select all

	[event]
	name=attack
	first_time_only=no
		[filter]
		type=Elvish Archer
		[/filter]
		[special_filter]
		weapon= _ "bow"
		[/special_filter]
		[message]
		speaker=unit
		message= _"I use a bow."
		[/message]
	[/event]

Make sure you don't have #textdomains messing that up. No time to explain in detail right now, but maybe you can figure it out.

[special_filter] were more or less broken (see bug #8212)...
They were filtering the weapon description (which is translatable and not supposed to be filtered) insteal of the weapon name (which is the untranslatable counterpart of the description, that is supposed to be used for filtering).
I fixed them so should be fixed in the next 1.2.4 & 1.3.2 releases.

There is the same Problem with the effect tag (only works when the Language is set to English).

Code: Select all

			[object]
			silent=yes
				[effect]
				apply_to=attack
				name=missile
				increase_damage=10
				[/effect]
			[/object]

This should be fixed too in the next releases
