Defeat upon zero gold.

[tw]

I'm having a scenario where bandits are trying to rob the players castles. I've got it so you lose gold whenever they move to a castle tile. (Though they can currently rob the same tile repeatedly, that would be nice to fix). But I can't work out how to make the loss when the side's gold reaches zero.
I'm hoping this won't turn out to be as problematic as my previous question. (About victory on controlling certain number of villages)

Code: Select all

[store_gold]
side=1 (if you are playing side 1)
variable=gold
[/store_gold]
[if]
	[variable]
	name=gold
	equals=0
	[/variable]
	[then]
		[endlevel]
		result=defeat
		[/endlevel]
	[/then]
[/if]

put this in any event you are loosing gold.

Works great. I needed to use less_than as the condition though because when using the [gold] tag the game lets it drop below zero. Which has given me an interesting scenario idea actually.

If your gold drops below Zero the bank of Wesnoth sends orcs to "collect" the money you owe.

Pretty much

If the lose gold, 100 for exmaple, you could store the gold before losing it so the gold can't drop below zero.

Code: Select all

[store_gold]
	side=1
	variable=leftgold
[/store_gold]
[if]
	[variable]
		name=leftgold
		greater_than_equal_to=100
	[/variable]
	[then]
		[gold]
			side=1
			amount=-100
		[/gold]
	[/then]
	[else]
		[set_variable]
			name=leftgold
			multiply=-1
		[/set_variable]
		[gold]
			side=1
			amount=$leftgold
		[/gold]
	[/else]
[/if]
