Little problem

[Casual User]

Good afternoon!

I've defined a little custom macro, and it doesn't work. It's supposed to generate alternativly a ghoul, a blood bat, a soulless and then a ghoul again. The rune and the first ghoul pop out all right, but it doesn't do anything from then on. I've racked my brain trying to figure out how to make it work. Here's the macro:

Code: Select all

#define RUNE_GHOUL SIDE X Y
[event]
name=start
{IMAGE item-rune4.png {X} {Y}}
[set_variable]
name=rotate
equals=1
[/set_variable]
[unit]
side={SIDE}
type=Ghoul
x={X}
y={Y}
[/unit]
[/event]
[event]
name=new turn
first_time_only=no
[if]
[variable]
name=rotate
equals=1
[/variable]
[then]
[unit]
side={SIDE}
type=Blood Bat
x={X}
y={Y}
[/unit]
[set_variable]
name=rotate
equals=2
[/set_variable]
[/then]
[/if]
[if]
[variable]
name=rotate
equals=2
[/variable]
[then]
[unit]
side={SIDE}
type=Soulless
x={X}
y={Y}
[/unit]
[set_variable]
name=rotate
equals=3
[/set_variable]
[/then]
[/if]
[if]
[variable]
name=rotate
equals=3
[/variable]
[then]
[unit]
side={SIDE}
type=Ghoul
x={X}
y={Y}
[/unit]
[set_variable]
name=rotate
equals=1
[/set_variable]
[/then]
[/if]
[/event]
#enddef

Thanks in advance

Code: Select all

[set_variable]
name=rotate
equals=2
[/set_variable] 

This does not give the variable a new value. The equals, greater_than etc. keys should only be used in an [if] [variable], not in [set_variable]. Use value instead to set a new value:

Code: Select all

[set_variable]
name=rotate
value=2
[/set_variable]
