Specifying defence per terrain for custom units

Post by **santi** » July 26th, 2006, 5:10 pm

Ok, I know how to do that, except I forget all possible terrains sometimes
so I wonder is there a way to tell it to get default values for example
if the unit is an elf, from the elf defence values for say forest or snow or ice or whatever?

Yes.. just give the same movetype and add the differences after it.
Go open, the lets say, the elf figther unit file... inside a #ifdef block you will se how he gets less defense than normal nimbler elves. Dont copy the #part just the one inside the [defence] tags.

Default values should be handled in the movetype.

Ok, in the meantime the unit in question is Elvish Lord +Elvish High Lord
I noticed the oponent gets a 0-0 stats when I am attacking and I have 0-0 stats when defending in some terrains. So, it is an issue of specifying these terrains. But I thought of a hack, just copy over the unit files from HttT. But it still does not fix the problem, so either
- this is because I am playing from the previous scenario instead of the
scenario where this unit is introduced
-there are some additional files in HttT that I did not copy

?

This sounds like you have a version conflict. In the stable version (1.0.2), the ranges are "short" and "long", in the development version 1.1.7, the ranges are "melee" and "ranged". The ranges should be identical for a retaliation attack to be allowed.

no, the ranged and melee are used. Unless perhaps these are loaded at the very start of the campaign, which I doubt..
