Orginizind death macros

[Geos]

I am trying to set macros for the deaths of my heros. I have a macros file here

{@campaigns/Love_To_Death/utils/macros.cfg}

This is where i defined some macros. These ones

Code: Select all

#define ON_KAROS_DEATH
    [event]
        name=death
	[filter]
	  description=Karos
	[/filter]
        [message]
	speaker=Aleva
	message= _ "My loyal servant, I can not continue without you. Rest in peace."
	[/message]
	[endlevel]
	result=defeat
	[/endlevel]
    [/event]
#enddef

#define ON_ALEVA_DEATH
    [event]
        name=death
	[filter]
	  description=Aleva
	[/filter]
        [message]
	speaker=Karos
	message= _ "Nooooooo!! do not die, my dearest Aleva!!!!"
	[/message]
	[endlevel]
	result=defeat
	[/endlevel]
    [/event]
#enddef

The macros are suppose to add the death event for both characters. I referenced the file from the campaign file and then tried in each scenario, but nothing, event don't raise.

What am I doing wrong. What is the standard way of saving code repetition for deaths of main characters?

Thank you

Have a look at the WML for Heir to the Throne. That doesn't actually use macros for deaths. Instead, there is a line in every scenario (except the first) referencing a deaths file (file location in {curly brackets} like those). The deaths WML themselves can be found in the /utils/deaths.cfg file.

What am I doing wrong.

This:

Code: Select all

name=death

For whoever reads this thread, if you find yourself in a similar situation and what to know how to solve it, is simple.

The correct name of the death event is die.

So, the correct form is

Code: Select all

[event]
name=die
[/event]

Of course I must credit zookeeper for his help, pointing out what was actually wrong.
