Events Such as Unit Recruitment - Middle Ages v0.35

[KingJohnVI]

Attached above. And thanks again for everyone's help. Feel free to let me know what you think of the era so far, but keep in mind it is still VERY early in development, with just the one faction so far.

Ahhh, I see the location path had to be completed. What was:

Code: Select all

message={MENU_IMG_TXT "MA_Axeman.png~RC(magenta>$recruiter.colour)" ("Axeman - 9 Gold")}

Should have been:

Code: Select all

message={MENU_IMG_TXT "units/MA_Axeman.png~RC(magenta>$recruiter.colour)" ("Axeman - 9 Gold")}

with the units/.

and what was:

Code: Select all

message={MENU_IMG_TXT "woodsman.png~RC(magenta>$recruiter.colour)" ("Woodsman - 10 Gold")}

should have been:

Code: Select all

message={MENU_IMG_TXT "units/human-peasants/woodsman.png~RC(magenta>$recruiter.colour)" ("Woodsman - 10 Gold")}

becuase it is located in the core directory.

Thanks again.

Soo does it work now? If so great for you!

Yes it does! I will post an updated version on the add-on server soon. I am also now working on mercenaries, balancing, and other maps, and eventually I'll have another faction too!

The era has been updated to version .35 and added to the server! I also slightly buffed the level 0 units becuase they were too weak and expensive, especially considering they have upkeep.

Within a unit, I would like to have an attack effective only on attack, that is, I do not want the unit to use it for a counter-attack. Currently, I am using:

Code: Select all

    [attack]
        name=ram
        description=_"ram"
        icon=attacks/warblade-red.png
        type=impact
        range=melee
        damage=35
        number=1
        [specials]
	active_on=offense
        [/specials]
    [attack]

but it doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone have any idea why this isn't working, and how it should be done?

Also, I would like to make the attack only effective against certain unit types, for example, only damage mechanical. Is there any way to do that?

You have a [specials] block, but you did not put any correct contents inside it.

The [specials] tag goes inside the [attack] tag. It can contain the following tags:
[damage]: modifies the damage of a weapon
[attacks]: modifies the number of attacks of a weapon
...

I think you can achieve the desired results by modifying the number of attacks to 0 on defense and increasing damage when attacking race=mechanical opponents.

Ok thanks, unfortunatly I am still having trouble. What I think I want to do is the following: If enemy unit type != MA_Ship Then Chance to hit modified by 0. If enemy unit type = MA_Ship AND IFthis unit is attacking then chace to hit = 0. The WML is confusing me at the moment, and doesn't seem to work no matter what code I put in...

So a specials tag goes inside the attack tag, and the chance to hit tag goes inside the specials tag. So I came up with what I thought was something close but it doesn't work:

Code: Select all

#define WEAPON_SPECIAL_ATTACK_SHIPS_ONLY_OFFENSE
	[chance_to_hit]
		id=attack_ships_only_offense
		name= _ "attack only, ships only"
		description= _ "Attack only:
This weapon is not available on defence, and can only hit ships.  CURRENTLY NOT WORKING"
		value=0
		cumulative=no
		apply_to=self
		[filter_defender]
			type=MA_Ship
		[/filter_defender]
		active_on=offense
		value=40
		cumulative=no
	[/chance_to_hit]
#enddef

Where have I gone wrong? Also, can I use "If" statements inside of the special definitions?
