Script giving 4 mp leaders the Quick Trait

[remetagross]

Hello everyone,

I have registered on the forum to ask you something. Ihave a question to which I didn't find an answer on this subforum with a quick search. Maybe I should look for it in another one ?

I have designed a faction with 4 MP leaders. I don't manage to automatically give them the Quick trait. Can you help me as to what code I need to write, and where should I write it ?

Thanks in advance.

If you only have 4mp leaders, then core macro(QUICK_4MP_LEADERS) is good enough, see how default does it. If there are 3mp ones too, then https://github.com/ProditorMagnus/Agele ... g#L55-L114

Ok, great !
I only have 4mp leaders. So, I just have to write down "macro(QUICK_4MP_LEADERS)", is that it ? Where should I put it ? Somewhere In the era.cfg file ?

Hm i wonder whether we sjould just change the core macro to apply to less than 4 mp leader too then

I suspect you might want to keep 0mp leaders that way. But other than that, would work.

No, that is why I said to look how default uses it.

Sorry, I had'nt read your post closely enough. Indeed, looking into the default structure was enough.

For those who might look after this info, here is how to go :
-Open your "Eras.cfg" file
-Paste anywhere in it the following :

Spoiler:

Code: Select all

#define QUICK_4MP_LEADERS
    # This makes all leaders with 4 MP receive the quick trait, except ones with
    # unit.variables.dont_make_me_quick=yes (boolean)

    [event]
        name=prestart

        [store_unit]
            [filter]
                canrecruit=yes

                [filter_wml]
                    max_moves=4
                [/filter_wml]
            [/filter]

            kill=yes
            variable=leaders_to_make_quick
        [/store_unit]

        {FOREACH leaders_to_make_quick i}
            [if]
                # The variable check is done here instead of in the [store_unit]
                # so that all boolean values work
                [variable]
                    name=leaders_to_make_quick[$i].variables.dont_make_me_quick
                    boolean_equals=yes
                [/variable]

                [then]
                    [unstore_unit]
                        variable=leaders_to_make_quick[$i]
                    [/unstore_unit]
                [/then]
[else]
                    [set_variables]
                        name=temp

                        [literal]
                            {TRAIT_QUICK}
                        [/literal]
                    [/set_variables]

                    [set_variables]
                        name=leaders_to_make_quick[$i].modifications.trait
                        mode=append

                        [insert_tag]
                            name=literal
                            variable=temp.trait
                        [/insert_tag]
                    [/set_variables]

                    {CLEAR_VARIABLE leaders_to_make_quick[$i].max_moves,leaders_to_make_quick[$i].moves,leaders_to_make_quick[$i].max_hitpoints,leaders_to_make_quick[$i].hitpoints}

                    [unstore_unit]
                        variable=leaders_to_make_quick[$i]
                    [/unstore_unit]
                [/else]
            [/if]
        {NEXT i}

        {CLEAR_VARIABLE leaders_to_make_quick,temp}
    [/event]
#enddef

If I have correctly understood, this code defines the macro {QUICK_4MP_LEADERS}.
-Then, add anywhere in the file, "{QUICK_4MP_LEADERS}".

However, I have a second question. Right below the "{QUICK_4MP_LEADERS}", I could read in the Default Era file, "{TURNS_OVER_ADVANTAGE}". The code of that macro seemed quite obscure to me. Do you know what it does ?

Thank you :)

[Ravana]

The code defines macro yes, but as it is core macro, you do not need to define it yourself, it is already there.

It shows some message that tries to guess which side has advantage, I guess it looks gold and units.

Ok, thank you !
