How do I code the event return to village before upgrading?

[Jaca_the_Elf]

Can anyone code single move turns, so that you can play Wesnoth like chess?

Can anyone code the event of returning to a village as a condition for upgrading a unit?

Chess-type movement has already been done. You can download those addons and see how it is done there.

Coding advancement after moving to a village would be complicated.

You probably could create a pre advance event that makes a unit advance to nothing but meanwhile stores what it advances to.

Then it wouldn't advance even though it has plenty of experience.

Then when it moves to a village you could reset it's advancement with the variable you stored.

I don't think it has to be that hard. I'm pretty sure this would work just fine: You could make an pre_advance event that stored and killed the unit (except in castles and villages), which would prevent the advancement from taking place. Then you could unstore the unit using "advance=no," and the XP would be left over the maximum. You would also need an event that would store and unstore any unit that moved into a village or castle using "advance=yes." Most of the time it wouldn't have any effect, but if the unit had XP over the maximum, it would level.

Yes good idea!

Thanks for your reply. Is there actually an add-on that would work for random maps or even campaigns? What's it called? I have only found one chess add-on, but I think it only works for the corresponding chess-like map.

The one that only works on single map is good enough to get the events that control such movement.
