Team-Color Function [~TC( )]

[Gilgamesh]

Umm... I don''t know if I post it in the right place, but after seeing some of questions about team color, i guess I'll post it here.

Like the title say, I like to know how to use this function, is it on event when you made scenarios? Or you can add it in the The [unit_type] tag ?

And I like to know can I change the unit's team color, just for that unit type only. Example:
1. I create a new unit that based from sergeant to grand marshal from the loyalists
2. I know about the (MAGENTA_IS_THE_TEAM COLOR), but can I change into other color aside the team color?
3. I tried to change the MAGENTA_IS_TEAM_COLOR to everything I think is possible for the changing in the [unit_type] tag, but no result in the game.

Hope I didn't post it in the wrong place, I'm new to WML and I'm sucks at these kinds of things. I'm better at graphics, since my friend Deepthroat is dead and no one can help in these kind of problems, I decide to join the Wesnoth Forum.

To do team_color, color the parts of the unit you want TCed Magenta, and place {MAGENTA_IS_THE_TEAM_COLOR} inside the [unit_type] tag. You can't have the unit a different color (AFAIK) except by placing it on a different side. You can change the side's color by having a "color=X" tag within the [side] tag.

Err... I don't understand it, sorry.
So I can't change the color of my unit by editing the {MAGENTA_IS_THE_TEAM_COLOR} in the [unit_type] tag?
Is this in the scenario making part? If so, I can use 'Northern Rebirth' to change the leader's team color.
Thanks for the help.

No.
That color (parts) of the unit which get recolored to its team color are the magenta ones. (If I understand that macro correctly.)

Is this in the scenario making part?

Yes, in [side] definitions.

Thanks, Anonymissimus, bigkahuna.
I'll try to figure how to use ~TC( ) in [side] definitions.

Do you want to make your own colors?
It is pretty simple. They are all defined in one team-colors.cfg in the core. You can change them easily. Making black more black and green more green or so. The rgb values are medium(ingame color), darkest(usually black), lightest (usually white), marker color

Just add:

Code: Select all

[color_range]
    id=yellow
    rgb=FFCC00,FFF5CC,221B00,FFCC00
    name= _ "Yellow"
[/color_range]

[color_range]
    id=pink
    rgb=FF465A,FFFFFF,000000,FF465A
    name= _ "Pink"
[/color_range]
