hi again! so, i want to make sure that units affected by my weapon special (which makes their mp 0) have their original mp stored, and then given back to them, here is my failed attempts at it:

Code: Select all

        [/if]
    {NEXT i}
[/event]
what i would like to know is: how would i put make a [/store_unit] in the attack event, which saves the mp values of each individual attacked unit

You already store some information with a set_variables for paralyze_unit_information, so can't you just store the movement points too? (You don't need to if it's just the same as max_moves because that's already stored in the unit whose id you have.)

There is no "movement" in a unit variable. You probably want "moves" or "max_moves".

getting closer, but, i noticed a weird bug, only one paralyzed unit restores his max moves correctly, while the rest only have 1 mp:

Code: Select all

[event]
    name=side turn
    first_time_only=no

    {FOREACH paralyze_unit_information i}
        [if]
            [variable]
                name=paralyze_unit_information[$i].turn_of_unparalyze
                less_than_equal_to=$turn_number
            [/variable]
            [and]
                [variable]
                    name=paralyze_unit_information[$i].side
                    equals=$side_number
                [/variable]
            [/and]

            [then]
#                [unpetrify]
#                    id=$paralyze_unit_information[$i].id
#                [/unpetrify]

#            {CLEAR_VARIABLE $paralyze_unit_information[$i].status.paralyzed}
            [modify_unit]
              [filter]
                 id=$paralyze_unit_information[$i].id
              [/filter]
              [status]
                paralyzed=no
              [/status]
            [/modify_unit]
            [object]
                silent=yes
                sort=potion-like
                [filter]
                    id=$paralyze_unit_information[$i].id
                [/filter]
                [effect]
                    apply_to=image_mod
                    replace="CS(0,0,0)"
                [/effect]
            [effect]
                apply_to=attack
                attack_weight=1
                defense_weight=1
            [/effect]
            [effect]
                apply_to=movement
                increase=$paralyze_unit_information[$i].movement
            [/effect]
            [/object]
                [clear_variable]
                    name=paralyze_unit_information[$i]
                [/clear_variable]
            [/then]
        [/if]
    {NEXT i}
[/event]
EDIT: fun fact, one unit gained his old max moves+1

That is odd, it sounds like you are having a variable problem. What I sometimes do is go along my events and print out all my variables every time something happens using messages. That way I can see where a variable goes wrong.

(Edit: also instead of modifying this units movement back to his original using the object. it might work to instead edit his max_moves)

thanks, will try, btw, how do you print the messages?

EDIT: solved the problem by changing the 'increase' part in the object to 'set'

hi, so, i am trying to make an ability like feeding, but which gives a unit 50% of the enemy's hp after killing him, here is what i've been trying, but it doesn't work:

Code: Select all

# wmllint: unbalanced-on
#define ABILITY_FEEDING2
    # Canned definition of the Feeding ability to be included in an
    # [abilities] clause.  Note: this is deliberately unbalanced WML,
    # in order to close the abilities clause then insert the event
    # then reopen the abilities clause.
    [dummy]
        id=feeding2
        name= _ "feeding2"
        female_name= _ "female^feeding2"
        description=_ "This unit gains 50% of enemy hitpoints added to its maximum whenever it kills a unit, except units that are immune to plague."
    [/dummy]
    # wmlxgettext: [abilities]
[/abilities]
[event]
    id=ability_feeding2_die
    name=last breath
    first_time_only=no

    [filter]
        [not]
            [filter_wml]
                [status]
                    unplagueable="yes"
                [/status]
            [/filter_wml]
        [/not]
    [/filter]

    [filter_second]
        ability=feeding
    [/filter_second]
[set_variable]
 name=enemyhp
 value=$unit.hitpoints
 [/set_variable]
[set_variable]
 name=enemyhp
 divide=2
 [/set_variable]
    [unstore_unit]
        variable=second_unit
        {COLOR_HEAL}
        text= _ "+ $enemyhp| max HP"
        find_vacant=no
    [/unstore_unit]

    [object]
        silent=yes
        duration=forever

        [filter]
            x,y=$x2,$y2
        [/filter]

        [effect]
            apply_to=hitpoints
            increase_total=$enemyhp|
            increase=$enemyhp|

Go into a game, and type :inspect. Look at a unit, and you can see the name of every variable it has.

I suggest you look again, and make sure you look unit data not normal variables.

Other than that, this ability has been done in mercenaries era as graverobber.

Hi in your feeding macro you have written filter second ability feeding. But your ability is called feeding 2 so I think that may be your problem.

As for messages i just write them like normal from the narrator and put $ variables in them:

Code: Select all

[message]
      speaker=narrator
      message=_"var 1 : $var1"
[/message]
Then if you put in that $unit.hitpoints, $unit.max_hp and any others you want you can check what they are.
