EarthCake's problems

[option] and [kill].

[option] and [kill].

Thanks.

Is there any way to change map in middle of scenario?

[Ravana]

[replace_map]

[EarthCake]

Should I then again use [event] name=prestart [/event] for units, if I want to place them?

EDIT: If I want to make option which leads to another map, I need: [option] [label] ... [/label] [then] [replace_map] map_data=... [/replace_map] [/then] [/option], and if choose other option, then [else] ... [/else]?

[Ravana]

I do not understand first question.

No [then]/[else], use [option] for all choices. You might not want [label].

[EarthCake]

If I don't use 'scenario' in the map editor and I put units by [unit] tags, do I use again:

Code: Select all

[event]
	name=start
	[unit]
		type=Spearman
		x,y=(ie)1,1
	[/unit]
[/event]

Or I need to put units into map editor?

[octalot]

Instead of replacing the map, you could go to a different scenario with

Code: Select all

  [endlevel]
    result=victory
    next_scenario=06_you_ally_with_the_necromancer_and_the_elves_leave_you_lost_in_the_forest
  [/endlevel]

[EarthCake]

It is dialogue only scenario, so it is not scenario end. Anyway, thanks now I know how to do what you suggested.

[EarthCake]

Is it possible to put an [event] tag inside [option] tag?

[EarthCake]

When it comes to map replacing, it says

replace_map: Map dimension(s) decrease but shrink is not set.

How do I repair this?

[octalot]

Add shrink=yes. There's documentation and caveats on the Wiki: DirectActionsWML#.5Breplace_map.5D. For this tag, moving villages needs additional work.

You can also use the mainline campaigns for reference. Example:

Code: Select all

                [replace_map]
                    map="{campaigns/Descent_Into_Darkness/maps/12a_Endless_Night.map}"
                    expand=yes
                    shrink=yes
                [/replace_map]

[EarthCake]

After command [replace_map] is executed, map only turns black, but menu and gold, vills, and everything else can be seen. Is this error in WML, or some bug with map?

[octalot]

Please attach the files for someone else to test it.

[EarthCake]

Here it is. I changed leaders to be common units to not put here all that units files.

It's not map_data, but just map (or map_file).
