Does {MODIFY_UNIT (type=whatever) canrecruit yes} work?

[ialdabaoth]

Here's what I'm trying to do:

Code: Select all

[event]
  name=post advance
  {MODIFY_UNIT (type=Elvish Lord) canrecruit yes}
[/event]

In plain English, whenever any unit advances to an Elvish Lord, I want that Elvish Lord to gain the canrecruit=yes property. (I'm settling for ALL Elvish Lords gaining the canrecruit=yes property; I'm not picky.)

I appear to be doing it wrong, though. Right now, whenever a unit advances to an Elvish Lord, exactly zero Elvish Lords gain the canrecruit=yes property.

I've also tried:

Code: Select all

[event]
  name=post advance
  first_time_only=no
  [filter]
    type=Elvish Lord
  [/filter]
  [modify_unit]
    [filter]
      type=Elvish Lord
    [/filter]
    canrecruit=yes
  [/modify_unit]
[/event]

Which also doesn't work.
Halp?

The first sample will work exactly once (because first_time_only=no isn’t specified and alter all Elvish Lords on the map, which is inefficient and pointless as odds are that they already have canrecruit=yes once their number is not singular. The second sample should work correctly but it’s also going to modify all Elvish Lords on the map. A more efficient filter for the action should be x,y=$x1,$y1, which will match the location of the primary unit for which the event was triggered:

    first_time_only=no
    [filter]

    [/filter]

    [modify_unit]
        [filter]
            x,y=$x1,$y1
        [/filter]
        canrecruit=yes
    [/modify_unit]
[/event]

Tested successfully with an Elvish Archer → Ranger level-up sequence.

So, where (file and parent tag) are you placing this code that currently doesn’t work?

Awesome, thank you!

... outside of the [unit_type] block, instead of inside it, like a dummy. Putting it inside the [unit_type] block like I THOUGHT I was doing fixes it, and changing the filter to x,y=$x1,$y1 makes it much more efficient.

Thank you so much!
