object has no effect

[Jovycos]

Hi!

When I add this Object to the modifications-list of a unit from Lua nothing happens:

Code: Select all

{'object',
    {'effect', {apply_to='movement', set='0'}}}

What could be the problem?

What could be the problem?

Objects in WML have an effect only if applied through the [object] action or when leveling a unit. Any other usage is ignored (until the next leveling). So you can either use the action or apply the effect by hand.

[Jovycos]

And the effect won’t be updated regularly? But an ability should work, right?

Btw: Where can I see the image of the object in the game?

You could set the unit's max_moves=0 via store_unit (or get_units in lua).

No, the real world is more complicate, I have got a filter and it has to be updated regularly, at least for specials that is the case, that is why I’m asking for abilities…

In the Sojournings of Grog, scenario Nemesis, I have this code:

Code: Select all

	[unit]
		type=White Mage
		side=1
		id=Ormron
		name= _ "Ormron"
		experience=26
		hitpoints=21
		x=11
		y=7
		[modifications]
			{TRAIT_FEARLESS}
			{TRAIT_RESILIENT}
			{TRAIT_LOYAL}
			[object]
				silent=yes
				[effect]
					apply_to=image_mod
					add=RC(magenta>red)
				[/effect]
				#gived 1 more MP to help the player keeping Ormron alive.
				#not used the quick trait to avoid HP penalty. Elvish_Hunter
				[effect]
					apply_to=movement
					increase=1
				[/effect]
			[/object]
		[/modifications]
		{IS_HERO}
	[/unit]

and it works. If you use

Code: Select all

[effect]
	apply_to=movement
	set=0
[/effect]

it should work as well, even if this isn't Lua.
