Help with scenario

[TenshiNoYami]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a scenario. I've spent three days of it, I'm at the third scenario right now (1 escape, 1 intermission, 1 real battle), but I have two problems, what I can't solve on my own:
1. At the intermission, I renamed the main leader. During that dialog, it was perfect, the ID, etc went through smoothly, but when I declared her in the next scenario, it had 0 experience point. Also, my 'if' doesn't seem to work here (I tried to use it in a modify_unit also)

Code: Select all

[store_unit]
            variable=leader_store
			[filter]
				id=leader
			[/filter]
			kill=yes
        [/store_unit]
		[set_variable]
			name = leader_store.name
			value= _ "new name"
		[/set_variable]
		[set_variable]
			name = leader_store.id
			value=new_name
		[/set_variable]
       [unstore_unit]
            variable=leader_store
		[/unstore_unit]
		{CLEAR_VARIABLE leader_store}

and in the next scenario:

Code: Select all

[side]
        type=Lesser Frostmage
        id=new_name
        name=_ "new name"
        canrecruit=yes
        recruit=Mage,Peasant,Spearman,Bowman
		side=1
		[if]
			[variable]
				name=new_name.experience
				lower_than=30
			[/variable]
			[then]
			[set_variable]
				name=new_name.experience
				value=30
			[/set_variable]
			[/then]
		[/if]			
		color=teal
        controller=human
        team_name=mages
        user_team_name=_"Mages"
    [/side]

2. It's not really a problem, but can I face an unit to a direction without animate_unit? Because In the first few moment, I have a peasant and he is always lifting his hat...

Code: Select all

[animate_unit]
				[filter]
					id=unit
				[/filter]
				[facing]
					x,y=5,14
				[/facing]
[/animate_unit]

Thanks for the help!

Changing unit id is usually bad idea, code often assumes it is constant.

ActionWML is not mentioned in https://wiki.wesnoth.org/SideWML, so there is no reason why [if] should work there.

Unit has key facing, so should be possible to change with normal unit change tags.

Beside what Ravana said, the persistent side is looked for by the id of the leader, so if it is different from the previous scenario it will just start a new side with a fresh leader (you check the recall list to see if this is the case). Just modify the name and not the id and everything will be easier.

Thanks for both of you. I could do what I wanted there.

Hello,

I have an other question: can I set an area somehow in event:moveto to set a zone when side 1 enters, triggers it. I tried it with radius, but it doesn't seem to work.

Code: Select all

[event]
		name=moveto
        first_time_only=yes
		[filter]
			side=1
			[filter_location]
				x,y=24,4
				radius=4
			[or]
				x,y=28,9
				radius=4
			[/or]
			[or]
				x,y=34,9
				radius=4
			[/or]
			[/filter_location]
		[/filter]
		
		[message]
			side2 message here
		[/message]
		
		[gold]
			amount=100
			side=2
		[/gold]
	[/event]

Thanks again

I wasted a day, one time, fighting with radius. It works, but it's finicky. I swore "never again" and suggest just specifying each tile explicitly.

Somewhere I saw a comment that radius was slow, too. I never checked that but expect, when compared to an explicit list, it obviously would be.

What your location filter asks for:

Any location that's (within 4 hexes of (24,4 or (any location within 4 hexes of 28,9 or (any location within 4 hexes of 34,9)))).

And that's because radius is applied last, after [or]/[and]/[not].

Thanks, I combined the two comments, and result is working:

Code: Select all

[filter]
			side=1
			[filter_location]
				x=24,28,34
				y=4,9,9
				radius=4
			[/filter_location]
		[/filter]
