Argh! My code doesnt work!

[robeth]

Hi folks, Im having a bit of trouble with my WML, my code is;

Code: Select all

[event]
name=die
	[filter]
	description=Flin the Hasty
	[/filter]
	[message]
	description=unit
	message= _ "Dirty Human! My master will turn you into wolf feed!"
	[/message]
	[message]
	speaker=second_unit
	message= _ "Just die you filthy goblin scum."
	[/message]
	[set_variable]
	name=kill_flin
	value=1
	[/set_variable]

[/event]

I'm trying to make it so that when Flag dies he says "Dirty human..."
followed by the successful unit who killed him saying "Just die..."

At the moment only Flag's text comes up

Not sure what Im doing wrong, any help appreciated!

try

Code: Select all

   [message]
   speaker=unit
   message= _ "Dirty Human! My master will turn you into wolf feed!"
   [/message] 

istead of

Code: Select all

  
 [message]
   description=unit
   message= _ "Dirty Human! My master will turn you into wolf feed!"
   [/message]
 

[robeth]

hmm... no, still having trouble, i'v tried recoding it in different ways but all with the same result, at the moment my coding is;

Code: Select all

[event]
name=die
	[filter]
	description=Flin the Hasty
	[/filter]
	[message]
	description=Flin the Hasty
	message= _ "Dirty Human! My master will turn you into wolf feed!"
	[/message]
 
	[message]
	description=General Manfell
	message= _ "Just die you filthy goblin scum"
	[/message]
	[set_variable]
	name=kill_flin
	value=1
	[/set_variable]

[/event]

General Manfell does exist and other messages from him work fine

I'm having another problem with messages in the next scenario, my code is

Code: Select all

[event]
name=die
	[filter]
	description=Flag the Butcher
	[/filter]
	[message]
	decription=Flag the Butcher
	message= _ "Grrraa! I'll have you killed..I'll... I'll..."
	[/message]
	[filter_second]
			[message]
			message= _ "Sure you will."
			[/message]
	[/filter_second]
	[set_variable]
	name=kill_flag
	value=1
	[/set_variable]
	[if]
		[variable]
		name=kill_grog
		numerical_equals=1
		[/variable]
		[then]
			[message]
			description=Lieutenant White
			message= _ "Excellent, the orcish vanguard has been destroyed."
			[/message]
			
			[message]
	description=Prince Harold
	message= _ "The fort has been evacuated, our people are safe! Lets get out of here!!"
			[/message]

			[endlevel]
			result=victory
			bonus=yes
			[/endlevel]
		[/then]

		[else]
		[/else]
	[/if]
[/event]

When playing, this event occurs with the first message "Graaa..." being spoken by a random horseman in my army-seemingly completely unrelated to the die event. Another blank message dialogue then appears from this unit and the event ends.

Im completely at a loss, anyone with any suggestions please help!

[filter_second] is a unit filter (it makes no sense to filter messages).

You need ids for the messages....

[claus]

You need ids for the messages....

As far as i know you do not need ids.

[Disto]

Well you used to, and if you want it translated then you will.

tomsik's suggestion worked fine for me:

Code: Select all

[event]
    name=die

    [filter]
      description=Flin the Hasty
    [/filter]

    [message]
        speaker=unit
        message= _ "Dirty Human! My master will turn you into wolf feed!"
    [/message]

    [message]
        speaker=second_unit
        message= _ "Just die you filthy goblin scum."
    [/message]

    [set_variable]
        name=kill_flin
        value=1
    [/set_variable]
[/event]

So just use speaker instead of description in messages.

And then to the next one:

Code: Select all

[event]
    name=die

    [filter]
        description=Flag the Butcher
    [/filter]

    [message]
        decription=Flag the Butcher
        message= _ "Grrraa! I'll have you killed..I'll... I'll..."
    [/message]

    [filter_second]
        [message]
            message= _ "Sure you will."
        [/message]
    [/filter_second] 

Replace description with speaker here as well.

If the [filter_second] here means that you want the unit killing Flag to say "Sure you will.", you just need to write:

Code: Select all

[message]
    speaker=second_unit
    message= _ "Sure you will."
[/message]

So remove [filter_second] there. You can always use "speaker=unit" and "speaker=second_unit" in event messages, no need to try and filter the messages. The [filter] and [filter_second] only determine if the event is triggered in the first place. So if you want the event to trigger when Konrad kills Flag, just put "[filter] description=Konrad[/filter]" and "[filter_second] description=Flag[/filter_second]" inside the event. Then, in messages you can refer to the units that passed the filters' criteria by using "speaker=unit" and "speaker=second_unit".

I didn't test this latter one myself, but I think it should work. Anyway, I hope this helps.

many thanks guys, ill give it a shot!

ids now do nothing. They are not necessary for translation.
