Events that trigger if an enemy is a certain distance away

[TheBladeRoden]

I have a cannon unit that switches between deployment modes via right click menu. But since such things are beyond the AI I decided to create a macro to help it out a little. The idea is, if there is an enemy in 3 hexes radius, the unit changes into a cannon_deployed. And if there aren't any enemies in 3 hexes radius, then it changes into a cannon_in_tow. But sadly it is not working, and I still need to figure out how to filter if a unit is ai-controlled.

Code: Select all

[event]
	name=turn_refresh
	first_time_only=no
	[filter]
		side=$side_number
		x,y=$x1,$y1
		type=Cannon in tow
	[/filter]
	[filter_second]
		[not]
			side=$side_number
		[/not]
		[filter_location]
		x,y=$x1,$y1
		radius=3
		[/filter_location]
	[/filter_second]
	{CANNON_DEPLOY}	
[/event]

[event]
	name=turn_refresh
	first_time_only=no
	[filter]
		side=$side_number
		x,y=$x1,$y1
		type=Cannon deployed
	[/filter]
	[filter_second]
		[not]
			side=$side_number
			[filter_location]
				x,y=$x1,$y1
				radius=3
			[/filter_location]
		[/not]
	[/filter_second]
	{CANNON_TOW}	
[/event]

There's no primary unit associated with turn refresh events, so there's nothing to filter for.

Well at least something is happening now. Now problem is that every unit on the battlefield changes into a cannon

Code: Select all

[event]
	name=ai_turn
	first_time_only=no
	[store_unit]
		kill=no
		variable=cannon_deploying_ai
		[filter]
			side=$side_number
			x,y=$x1,$y1
			type=Cannon in tow
		[/filter]
		[filter_second]
			[not]
				side=$side_number
			[/not]
			[filter_location]
			x,y=$x1,$y1
			radius=3
			[/filter_location]
		[/filter_second]
	[/store_unit]
	{CANNON_DEPLOY}
	[unstore_unit]
		variable=cannon_deploying_ai
	[/unstore_unit]
[/event]

[event]
	name=ai_turn
	first_time_only=no
	[store_unit]
		kill=no
		variable=cannon_towing_ai
		[filter]
			side=$side_number
			x,y=$x1,$y1
			type=Cannon deployed
		[/filter]
		[filter_second]
			[not]
				side=$side_number
				[filter_location]
					x,y=$x1,$y1
					radius=3
				[/filter_location]
			[/not]
		[/filter_second]
	[/store_unit]
	{CANNON_TOW}
	[unstore_unit]
		variable=cannon_deploying_ai
	[/unstore_unit]	
[/event]

There's no [filter_second] available in [store_unit].
Note that I haven't been using WML lately, so I may remember details wrong, but...

Code: Select all

   [store_unit]
      kill=no
      variable=cannon_deploying_ai
      [filter]
         side=$side_number
         type=Cannon in tow
         [filter_location]
             [filter]
                 [not]
                    side=$side_number
                 [/not]
             [/filter]
             radius=3
         [/filter_location]
      [/filter]
   [/store_unit]

(and similarly for the other [event] switching back cannons).

well I gave up on the 3 hexes away bit and just settled on adjecenct enemies after moving. Good enough for government work

Code: Select all
