Insert Image /Campaign map risk/language possibilities

[lysiar]

Hi,
In my campaign, I am trying to do several things and, after looking for the answers on the wiki and on this forum, i'm calling for help now

First, is it possible to include images in the field "description=" for an ability ? For exemple :

Spoiler:

#define ABILITY_SKIRMISHER
# Canned definition of the Skirmisher ability to be included in an [abilities]
# clause.
[skirmisher]
id=skirmisher
name= _ "skirmisher"
female_name= _ "female^skirmisher"
description= _ " This unit is skilled in moving past enemies quickly, and ignores all enemy Zones of Control."
affect_self=yes
[/skirmisher]
#enddef

Then, i would like to change the name of terms like neutral/lawful/...
I've already done it (with success) for my attack type (with [language] Type_Test="TEST" [/language].
Did somebody know how to do it ?

And (as risk/dawn of war 2 or the old dune 2) : is it possible to have a campaign map with several areas clickable (you can do it in an html image for example) ? And when you click on, let's say "area 1" the game will load a specific scenario ("scenario 1").

No.

Anything else than the four available ones will be replaced by neutral. You can create a weapon special whose properties depend on time of day as a workaround.

No.

Thanks a lot

I have an other question : I would like, when a unit level up (AMLA) get +1 level to this very unit.

I've read this post : http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=39097
and this one : http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=33844

But it seems to me that in both of these posts the unit id should be specified. And I would like it to be more "global" ( put a {MY_AMLA} in each of my unit .cfg; and define it in the AMLA.cfg)

I don't know if I'am understandable or not because it's kind of hard to explain this in english (not my mother tongue at all)

It can be done, but it will need more complex tricks than just some standard AMLA.

You might be able to do it by firing an event containing this code:

Code: Select all

[store_unit]
 [filter]
  #Use this filter to make sure it will store the unit(s) in question
 [/filter]
 variable=checked
[/store_unit]
{FOREACH checked i} #Circle through all units worked on
 [store_unit_type] #Its level might be already adjusted, so we need to get the level of its unit_type instead
  type=$checked[$i].type
  variable=checked_type
 [/store_unit_type]
 {VARIABLE checked[$i].level checked_type.level} #Set its level to its unmodified value learned above
 {VARIABLE_OP checked[$i].level add checked[$i].modifications.advance.length} #Increase its level by the number of AMLAs taken
{NEXT i}
{CLEAR_VARIABLE checked_type,checked} #Clean up

As a side note, to see the limitations of modding here in things that concern units' properties, try to see an add-on named World of Wesnoth (better don't try to understand its code).

And your english is easily understandable, no need to worry.

Now, I am having troubles implementing a weapon special abilities who slows the bearer of this weapons when he uses it.

Spoiler:

#define WEAPON_SPECIAL_HEAVYWEAPON
[heavyweapon]
id=heavyweapon
name= _ "heavy weapon"
description= _ "It's a very very, encumbrant heavy weapon"
[/heavyweapon]
[slow]
apply_to=attacker
[/slow]
[damage]
apply_to=self
add=30
cumulative=yes
[/damage]
#enddef

With this code, it's always the opponent who is slowed.
I've tried to change it in "apply_to=self". But it doesn't work either. Any clue ?
The strange part is that when I change this : "apply_to=attacker" to this : "apply_to=both" It's actually working (but for both).

[8680]

[slow]
apply_to=attacker
[/slow]

This doesn’t slow the attacker, this gives the attacker the power to slow its enemies. If you want a unit using this weapon to be slowed when it gets hit, try apply_to=opponent.

[lysiar]

Indeed, it's working when the opponent hit my unit with this "heavy weapon". But, what I want it's getting the slow penalty to my unit when he's hiting the ennemy.

In that case, a solution may be to use an event-based special.
First you'll need to create a weapon special that does nothing except reporting that it's here with a [dummy] tag (or any other tag that isn't listed at http://wiki.wesnoth.org/AbilitiesWML), then use an event:

Code: Select all

[event]
    name=attacker hits
    first_time_only=no
    [filter_attack]
        special=heavyweapon
    [/filter_attack]
    [modify_unit]
        [filter]
            id=$unit.id
        [/filter]
        [status]
            slowed=yes
        [/status]
    [/modify_unit]
[/filter]

I didn't test the code above, but it should give you an idea on how to proceed.
