An ability in the macros that doesn't seem to be recognized.

[Fosprey]

I have in my userdata\data\campaigns the file Competitive_Era.cfg that look like this

[binary_path]
path=data/campaigns/Competitive_Era
[/binary_path]


{@campaigns/Competitive_Era/}
[+units]
{@campaigns/Competitive_Era/units/Empire}
[/units]

userdata\data\campaigns

i have macros.cfg that looks like this

[chance_to_hit]
id=spell
name= _ "Spell"
description= _ "Spell:
This attack does 100% damage on all terrains"
value=100
cumulative=no
[/chance_to_hit]

My unit, that works perfect beside this, have the following attack tag

[attack]
name=lightstrike
description=_"lightstrike"
type=arcane
range=ranged
[specials]
{WEAPON_SPECIAL_SPELL}
[/specials]
damage=20
number=1
[/attack]

But when i have the unit in the map, the unit have no special at all in it's attack.
Anything i can be missing?

move macros.cfg from userdata/data/campaigns to userdata/data/campaigns/Competitive_Era

Also, macros.cfg should look like this:

Code: Select all

#define WEAPON_SPECIAL_SPELL
[chance_to_hit]
id=spell
name= _ "Spell"
description= _ "Spell:
This attack does 100% damage on all terrains"
value=100
cumulative=no
[/chance_to_hit]
#enddef

Thanks for the help, but I moved the file and changed the macros file, nothing.
If i set the special to (WEAPON_SPECIAL_MAGICAL) it works no problem, but when i change it to (WEAPON_SPECIAL_SPELL) it just doesn't show anything.
and nothing special happen when the unit attack.

What i don't get is that i looked at other eras and they do exactly this, and it works for them, i'm really lost.
If i replyace the (Weapon_special_spell) with the whole macro written in the unit.cfg it works wonder.
It's clear that for some reason it doesn't look into the macros.cfg file, but don't know why.

You have to make sure the macros get loaded first (and in this case, you didn't have them loading at all).
