EarthCake's problems

[EarthCake]

Hello!

I have problem:

I made a 'moveto' event:

Code: Select all

[event]
	name=moveto
	[filter]
		    id=xxxxx
		    [filter_location]
				x={X}
				y={Y}
		    [/filter_location]
	[/filter]
	[endlevel]
		result=victory
		bonus=yes
		{NEW_GOLD_CARRYOVER 40}
        [/endlevel]
[/event]

and I need to prevent this event from happening before ie. turn 14. Otherwise, it ends scenario everytime I stand with "xxxxx" unit on that place. How can I do that?

[EarthCake]

Another problem:

I put two leaders into scenario, and I want that first one I kill doesn't say anything, and second says something like "Argh!".

For now I needed to make one says "Argh", and another one nothing, even if I kill one who says "Argh" first.

How can I do that?

[filter_condition] and check current turn number.

You can check if there are other heroes left before showing message.

There are many ways to do it. You can add an event during an event, for example a name="turn 14" event could add the moveto.

For the two bosses, I suggest a "last breath" with first_time_only=no and then count the units:

Code: Select all

    [event]
        name="last breath"
        first_time_only=no
        [filter]
            type="Spearman"
        [/filter]
        [if]
            [have_unit]
                type="Spearman"
                count=1
            [/have_unit]
            [then]
                [message]
                    speaker=$unit.id
                    message= _ "Argh, I was the last of us!"
                [/message]
            [/then]
            [else]
                [message]
                    speaker=$unit.id
                    message= _ "My friends will avenge me!"
                [/message]
            [/else]
        [/if]
    [/event]

Difference between [if] and [filter_condition] comes mainly from whether you want event or action executed multiple times.

[EarthCake]

Can this work?

Code: Select all

	[event]
		name=moveto
		[filter]
		    	id=xxxxx
		    	[filter_location]
				x=6
				y=46
		    	[/filter_location]
		[/filter]
		[filter]
			greater_than_equal_to=turn 14
		[/filter]
	[/event]

[Ravana]

Second [filter] will never match any unit.

[EarthCake]

So I need to put it into one filter tag? Like this maybe:

Code: Select all

	[event]
		name=moveto
		[filter]
		    	id=xxxxx
		    	[filter_location]
				x=6
				y=46
		    	[/filter_location]
			greater_than_equal_to=turn 14
		[/filter]
	[/event]	

[Ravana]

Still "greater_than_equal_to=turn 14" results in filter matching no units. greater_than_equal_to is not recognized unit attribute.

You might want [filter_condition][variable]name=turn_number greater_than_equal_to=14 [/variable][/filter_condition]

[EarthCake]

So should it look like this:

Code: Select all

	[event]
		name=moveto
		[filter]
		    	id=xxxxx
		    	[filter_location]
				x=6
				y=46
		    	[/filter_location]
			[filter_condition]
				[variable]
					name=turn_number
					greater_than_equal_to=14
				[/variable]
			[/filter_condition]
		[/filter]
	[/event]	

I know you are probably annoyed due to my stupidity in WML coding, but I can't help it. (only if this isn't right code)

[Ravana]

Almost.

Code: Select all

	[event]
		name=moveto
		[filter]
		    	id=xxxxx
		    	[filter_location]
				x=6
				y=46
		    	[/filter_location]
		[/filter]
			[filter_condition]
				[variable]
					name=turn_number
					greater_than_equal_to=14
				[/variable]
			[/filter_condition]
	[/event]	

[EarthCake]

Thanks, it works.

How should I instruct AI? I mean, how I should make player able to access that menu?

[octalot]

Do you mean the "instruct ally" option on the right-click menu of some scenarios, and the "ask Grüü to move here" in SotBE S03? In 1.14 that's done with AI_CONTROLLER, but the actions don't work as players expect, and so it's been removed in 1.15. #3668, #3066.

The Wiki documents how to configure Micro AIs, so the way forward is probably to configure some tailored to your scenario, and then add a right-cilck menu with [set_menu_item].

[EarthCake]

Is there any way to give player two choices, and if he chooses one, he dies, and if he chooses second one everything is okay?
