Filtering recruits for temporary leader

[MathBrush]

In my Drake campaign, I'm having trouble juggling recruiting.

First of all, I have a Saurian leader Szel. He is the leader for just one scenario. I want to have all of his recruits be available to the real leader Menir, so I give him a save ID.

Code: Select all

    [side]
        side=1
		save_id=Menir
        controller=human
        recruit=Saurian Skirmisher, Saurian Augur
        gold=150
        team_name=good
        user_team_name= _ "Enemies"
        {FLAG_VARIANT undead}

        type=Saurian Soothsayer
        id=Szel
        name= _ "Szel"
        canrecruit=yes

        facing=nw

    [/side]

In scenario 2 and onward, I have Menir. Menir's code is as follows:

Code: Select all

    [side]
        side=1
        controller=human
        recruit=Saurian Skirmisher, Saurian Augur, Drake Burner, Drake Glider
        gold=150
        team_name=good
        user_team_name= _ "Enemies"
        {FLAG_VARIANT undead}
		
		save_id=Menir
        type=Drake Burner
        id=Menir
        name= _ "Menir"
        canrecruit=yes

        facing=nw

    [/side]

I don't know how to add Szel back in as a unit, so I use this command in the start event:

Code: Select all

		[unit]
			name= _ "Szel"
			type = Saurian Soothsayer
			id=Szel
            x,y=25,30
            side=1
            random_traits=yes
	        [modifications]
                {TRAIT_LOYAL}
            [/modifications]
            {IS_HERO}
            unrenamable=yes
        [/unit]

After that, I just recall Szel each time.

In scenario 7, I want just Szel to be in charge, and I want him to be only able to recall non-flying units.

Code: Select all

    [side]
        side=1
		type=Saurian Soothsayer
		save_id=Menir
        id=Szel
        recruit=Saurian Skirmisher, Saurian Augur, Drake Clasher
        name= _ "Szel"
		unrenamable=yes
        canrecruit=yes
		[filter_recall] 
			type=Saurian Skirmisher, Saurian Skirmisher, Saurian Flanker, Saurian Oracle, Saurian Soothsayer, Saurian Augur, Drake Clasher, Drake Arbiter, Drake Warden, Drake Thrasher, Drake Enforcer
		[/filter_recall]
        team_name=drakes
        user_team_name=_"Scaly Folk"
        controller=human
		
#ifdef EASY
        gold=240
#else
        gold=180
#endif
        {FLAG_VARIANT loyalist}
    [/side]

My problems:
-Szel is able to recruit in scenarios 2-6, where I just want him to be a regular nonrecruiting loyal unit in those scenarios.
-Despite the filter_recall, the recalls are not filtered.

What can I do? You can get the full code from my add-on "A Fiery Birth". I've spent several days on the second problem and thought I had it solved, but now I don't know what to do.

if you don't want him to recruit, just put something like {MODIFY_UNIT id=Szel )cancrecruit=no)}. I'm not sure if it's actually possible to filter recalls, though.

Despite the filter_recall, the recalls are not filtered.

Your problem is that [filter_recall] is a property of the unit (the leader), not of the side, and in your third scenario all unit properties (except id) will be ignored sionce it will just use the unit with the id Szel from the previous scenario instead of creating a new one with the specified properties.

So you've given me enough information that now I've fixed the recall list. Now I'm going to work on trimming the recruit list. Thanks!
