Help : Total recall ?

[taz]

Partial or total recall ?

1/ The disallow_recall=yes key prevents to player from recalling units from the previous scenario.

But, is it possible to prevent the player from recalling a specific type of units ?

For example if the player can recall Spearmen,Horseman and Bowman is there a way to prevent her/him from recalling spearmen ?

2/ Another question : Is it possible to erase the recall list ?

Are you familiar with how [store_unit] works? If not, read it up on the wiki. Basically, to stop them from recalling a specific type of unit, store all of those units with kill=yes. Then, when the scenario is over, unstore them so they can use the units the next scenario.

You can do it with [store_unit]. [store_unit] will store units on the recall list as well as units on the battlefield.

You can use [filter] to target a specific type.

You must use kill=yes to prevent the player from accessing the unit (the units can be [unstore_unit]'ed later).

If you do this at the beginning of the scenario, you should not need to distinguish between units on the field vs on the recall list, but I think x,y=0,0 in the filter will only get units on the recall list.

Thanks your replies/help
Will try that.

Lets say you don't want to have the player's Horsemen recalled during a specific battle (they are on recon duty elsewhere).

Here is my intended scrip for partial recall of units :

In the scenario where you don't want Horsemen :

[event]
name=start
[store_unit]
[filter]
type=Horseman
side=1
[/filter]
variable=storedhorsemen
kill=yes
[/store_unit]
[/event]

And in the following scenario where you want the Horsemen back :

[event]
name=start
[unstore_unit]
variable=storedhorsemen
[/unstore_unit]
[/event]

Am I correct ? Thanks in advance for your help.

No, I don't think it will. When you unstore them, you will have to do a {FOREACH} loop. I don't remember how to do that, but it's probably on the wiki somewhere. I'll look it up when I get back from school if no one has told you yet.

[scott]

{FOREACH storedhorseman i}
[unstore_unit]
variable=storedhorseman[$i]
[/unstore_unit]
{NEXT i}

[taz]

{FOREACH storedhorseman i}
[unstore_unit]
variable=storedhorseman[$i]
[/unstore_unit]
{NEXT i}

Thanks for your quick reply both of you.

I could never have figured out myself the right script to do that.

Will try and experiment with the FOREACH stuff.

Many thanks again for your support.
