[remove_shroud] and [terrain] question

[Ravana]

I think easiest way to do it is with [store_unit]side=2 kill=no and then with {FOREACH} move 1 kill 1 {NEXT}

[Paulomat4]

Thank you, and thanks to Adamant14 who helped me per PM.
This is the working result.

Code: Select all

[store_unit]
      [filter]
         side=2
      [/filter]
      variable=movers
      kill=no
   [/store_unit]
   {FOREACH movers i}
      [move_unit]
         id=$movers[$i].id
         to_x=44
         to_y=12
      [/move_unit]
      [kill]
         id=$movers[$i].id
         animate=no
      [/kill]
   {NEXT i}
   {CLEAR_VARIABLE movers}

You guys are great

[Anonymissimus]

more elegant: use [move_unit]side=2 fire_event=yes and make an [event]name=moveto for said coordinates which [kill]s the unit with id=$unit.id.

I feel silly now. I should have thought of that.

The thing is, that i don't understand Lua, and i don't use it.
It doesn't happens in other scenarios than this.

[gfgtdf]

I get this ingame error message:

Sans titre.jpg

when trying this scenario:
The thing is, that i don't understand Lua, and i don't use it.
It doesn't happens in other scenarios than this.

well the message says that there is no unittype called "Spearmen" wich is correct unless you have added such a unit.

since a lot of wml is handeled by lua, there are sometimes wml errors that appear as lua errors.

[Paulomat4]

well, i schould be the standard spearmen, which is already include in the game.
Okay, i see now, it should be spearman. Quite a silly question.
But why doesn't it shows an unknown unit type error?
now I get this lua error:

Sans titre.jpg (7.2 KiB) Viewed 3405 times

[gfgtdf]

now I get this lua error:

Sans titre.jpg

have you stated you game in debug mode or changed the debug mode during the game?

really don't know what that means but it seems to be related to the AI.
to find yout wich part causes that error you could remove all the AI stuff and readd it successively and test it to find out wich one causes that error.

i think "mattsc" knows more about the AI system.

But why doesn't it shows an unknown unit type error?

but the message said "Unknown unit type"...

[Anonymissimus]

Yes, mattsc is the AI expert, you can pm him for instance.
AFAIK the Lua AI debug functionality are a few features (1 function at least) which can be called by lua code in order to emit debugging information. However, you shouldn't get it when not doing something with Lua AI or when not calling that function. Perhaps it's a bug in the engine.
And you *are* using Lua no matter what, since large parts of the wml action engine are implemented in Lua nowadays, that's why you get that "unknown unit type" Lua error. You probably only need to look at and understand the first line (the error message), as long as it's an error caused by wml. If you think you aren't using Lua, it is.

[Paulomat4]

but the message said "Unknown unit type"...

Sorry, i referred to the typical unknown unit error, which appears when loading a scenario. But i guess, it appears after loading the scenario because the false spearman unit are created in a prestart event, which is loaded after the scenario. That confused me, sorry.

have you stated you game in debug mode or changed the debug mode during the game?

Yeah, most time when testing scenario's i load the game with debug mode already opened, because I already had it opened. As far as i know i haven't changed anything to debug mode, and the error appears also when starting the scenario without debug mode.

And you *are* using Lua no matter what...

Yeah, i know, but what i meant was when using Lua active.

after investigated a bit more and after clicking end turn even more Lua errors appear.

I'll pm mattsc. Hopefully he knows what to do.

[Paulomat4]

I still don't have an answer from mattsc, but he haven't online, so i don't give up the hope. In the meantime, if anyone has an idea, why i get these errors, please tell me

On another front, i want to place an image on the screen. The problem is, that the image is bigger than 72x72 px and so i can't use image= within an [item] tag. But i can't use halo= neither, because it would place the image on top of the unit. The wiki didn't really help, anyone an idea?

You may need to use terrain graphics, rather than [item]. Look at the "great tree" terrain & terrain-graphics for an example.

I, too, recommend to install a custom terrain for the matter.
You can also refer doofus-01's campaigns for it. There are some amazing multi-hex terrains in them.

(if your image is on a hex, using a terrain-overlay (Xx^Yy) is easier.)

[Paulomat4]

Okay, so that's what i got until now:
my terrain.cfg:

Code: Select all

[terrain_type]
	symbol_image=../terrain/watchtower-elven.png
	id=elven_watchtower
	name= _ "Elven Watchtower"
	string=^Cvw
	aliasof=^Cv
	editor_group=Rotss
	hidden=yes
[/terrain_type]

my terrain-graphics.cfg

Code: Select all

# scenery overlay

{OVERLAY *^Cvw  ../terrain/watchtower-elven.png}

The supposed tile is even marked ingame with the right name (elvish watchtower)
but it doesn't shows the right image (still only the base image) And is also marked as unwalkable.


Edit: Okay, i found the error because of the unwalkable terrain. Still the image i wanted it to have isn't there.

[SkyOne]

For terrains, I think:

Code: Select all

{OVERLAY *^Cvw  ../terrain/watchtower-elven.png}

should be:

Code: Select all

{OVERLAY *^Cvw  watchtower-elven}

Anyway, as your image is a watchtower, creating its unit is another way, like the Orcish Watchtower on SotBE. You can add a weapon(s) in the case.
