Hrm..learnign the ropes, help me out a bit

Not removing them will probably make it show up twice.

K, time for a stupid question - how to setup player color in the scenario?

I seem to recall some magneta->red command or something like that, but I can't track it down.

K, time for a stupid question - how to setup player color in the scenario?

I seem to recall some magneta->red command or something like that, but I can't track it down.

Could it possibly be defined where it would make some sense, like in the side definition?

[TrashMan]

Yeah, but all the scenario I checked so far (from other people) use the standard color, so I don't know how the command goes

Thank you. Somehow I missed that.

Hrm...I've been constantly getting a strange error on my 4th scenario that I finally managed ot track down to a piece of code.

The error goes as:
"Unexpected characters after variable name (expected, or =), value'

I got no clue exactly what I should be looking for within the code. This is hte code:

How about that "CLEAR_FOG 1 15 42 6"?

[TrashMan]

So that's the culprit..what's wrong with it?

IIRC, I copied that from some other scenario

[TrashMan]

I really want to know hte proper code for removing the fog...

While I'm looking it up in the wiki, here's anohter question I couldn't find hte answer for

The other of [or] or [and] in the filter

Basicely, will this work? I need both units to reach a specific area. Technicely, I need 3 units to reach the area..If this is correct, for hte 3rd unit, do Iadd another id inthe add tags or do I add a new add tag?

Code: Select all

	
[event]
	name=moveto
        [filter]
            id=Ellderon
              [and]
                  id=Ithilien
              [/and]
            x=15-17
            y=1-2
        [/filter]

         [endlevel]
             result=victory
             bonus=yes
        [/endlevel]
	[/event]

[AI]

This event will trigger if a unit satisfies *all* of the following conditions:
-It just moved to a hex with coordinates (15-17,1-2)
-its id is Ellderon
-its id is Ithilien

Obviously that never happens, what you need to do is write an event that triggers if *any* of the three units moves into the area, then [if] with [have_unit] to see if the others are in that area too.

To make this work correctly, you'll need first_time_only=no (obviously) and if the action isn't [endlevel], you'll also need to set a variable to stop the [then] from triggering more than once.

[TrashMan]

Hrm...so it has to be done via variables..

How about if I check for each unit individually and increase a counter for each one that enters. Once all 3 enter (variable equals 3) then the mission ends? F'course, the unit could exit again....Hrm... I'll just leave it at one unit for simplicity sake..

checking for multiple units is a chore...Hey, methinks ToaM has a mission like that..I can check it's code to see

thanks AI..Oh, b.t.w. - is there a code to remove the fog over a specific area?

[zookeeper]

Technicely, I need 3 units to reach the area..If this is correct, for hte 3rd unit, do Iadd another id inthe add tags or do I add a new add tag?

Create a moveto event which triggers when whichever one of those 3 units enters the area, and then just use an [if] to check whether all the 3 units are in the area right now.

Ok, I'm downright irritated ATM.

I made a working campaign (in progress) but I can't upload it via the add-on server.
I checked my file structure and my .pbl file thrice.
WTF???

I released a test version of the campaign in the Scenario and Campaign forum (Coming of the Storm), so can anyone take a look and tell me what the hell is wrong?

[AI]

Remove the passphrase from the PBL, attach it here ((g)zipped if needed), tell us its exact location.
