how do i change the sides around?

[Lord_Aether]

I believe that passive_leader goes inside a [ai] tag... along with recruitment pattern:

Code: Select all

   [side]
      side=2
      controller=ai
      team_name=2
      user_team_name= _ "Prisoners"
      type=Rogue
      id=Burak
      name=Burak
      unit_description=Burak
      gender=male
      canrecruit=yes
      unrenamable=true


      [ai]
          passive_leader=yes

          #ifdef EASY
          recruitment_pattern=fighter
          #endif
      
          #ifdef MEDIUM
          recruitment_pattern=fighter,fighter,fighter,scout,scout
          #endif
      
          #ifdef HARD
          recruitment_pattern=fighter,fighter,archer,fighter,archer,scout,scout
          #endif
      [/ai]


      x=5
      y=5
      
      {GOLD 100 125 150}
      {INCOME -1 1 3}
      shroud=yes
   [/side]

Oh... Ok thanks. I probably should have figured that out.

How do I make a unit on a stored location, instead of an x,y value.

Code: Select all

	[event]
		name=last breath
		[filter]
			id=Ulgor
		[/filter]
		[message]
			speaker=Ulgor
			message= _ "You may have killed me, but you'll never get out of this accursed cave!"
		[/message]
		[store_locations]
			variable=zombieland
			[filter]
				id=Ulgor
			[/filter]
		[/store_locations]
		[kill]
			id=Ulgor
			animate=yes
		[/kill]
		[if]
			[variable]
				name=burak_dead
				boolean_equals=no
			[/variable]
			[then]
				[message]
					speaker=Burak
					message= _ "Rise, fool!"
				[/message]
				[unit]
					type=Walking Corpse
					side=2
					x,y=19,22
					name=Ulgor
					animate=yes
				[/unit]
			[/then]
		[/if]
	[/event]

Here's the last breath event for one enemy leader. You can see that when he dies, a walking corpse is made, but right now, I have it appearing in his keep, not where he died. I put the [store_locations] tag in to get the location of his death, but how do I use that to determine where the zombie is made?

[Lord_Aether]

Last breath automatically stores both the unit who died (in the variable "unit") and the unit that killed him (in the variable "second_unit"). You can access the variables like so:

Code: Select all

	[event]
		name=last breath
		[filter]
			id=Ulgor
		[/filter]
		[message]
			speaker=Ulgor
			message= _ "You may have killed me, but you'll never get out of this accursed cave!"
		[/message]

#  Totally unnecessary.
		[store_locations]
			variable=zombieland
			[filter]
				id=Ulgor
			[/filter]
		[/store_locations]
#
		[kill]
			id=Ulgor
			animate=yes
		[/kill]
		[if]
			[variable]
				name=burak_dead
				boolean_equals=no
			[/variable]
			[then]
				[message]
					speaker=Burak
					message= _ "Rise, fool!"
				[/message]
				[unit]
					type=Walking Corpse
					side=2
					x,y=$unit.x,$unit.y   #  This uses the location of the dying unit
					name=Ulgor
					animate=yes
				[/unit]
			[/then]
		[/if]
	[/event]

[zookeeper]

$unit is stored when it's first used. So if you kill the primary unit first, then try to access $unit, it might not work.

[CountPenguin]

New question: How can I make the speaker of a message be the unit closest to a location/set of locations?

[Mist]

Code: Select all

<my_variable "">
<my_radius 1>
<while my_variable is empty>
<do>
<store units within my_radius from my_location to variable my_variable>
<increase my_radius>
</do>
</while>
<message with id=$my_variable[0].id says something>

[CountPenguin]

Ok, I think I sort of understand, here's what I tried (though you can see it's not finished or even playable). I put my questions inside the code:

Code: Select all

	[event]
		name=turn 6
		[set_variable]
			name=flood_radius
			value=0
		[/set_variable]
		[store_locations]
			variable=flood
			terrain=Ww,Wwf,Chw,Ww^Vm
		[/store_locations]
		[store_unit]
			variable=flood_speaker
			[filter_location]
				find_in=flood
			[/filter_location]
		[/store_unit]
		[while]
			##how do i say flood is empty?
			[do]
				[store_unit]
					variable=flood_speaker
					[filter_location]
						find_in=flood
						radius=flood_radius + 1   ##(I know this won't work, what can I do so it does?)
					[/filter_location]
				[/store_unit]
			[/do]
		[/while]
		[message]
			speaker=flood_speaker[0]   ##will this work, or do I need a different tag?
			message= _ "Uh oh, I think the water is rising. We'd better get away from the river before it washes us away..."
		[/message]
	[/event]

Does this look at all right? (beside my ?'s)

[Sapient]

Code: Select all

	[event]
		name=turn 6
		[set_variable]
			name=flood_radius
			value=0
		[/set_variable]
		[store_locations]
			variable=flood
			terrain=Ww,Wwf,Chw,Ww^Vm
		[/store_locations]
		[store_unit]
			variable=flood_speaker
			[filter]
			    [filter_location]
				find_in=flood
			    [/filter_location]
			[/filter]
		[/store_unit]
		[while]
			[variable]
				name=flood_speaker.length
				numerical_equals=0
			[/variable]
			[do]
				[set_variable]
					name=flood_radius
					add=1
				[/set_variable]
				[store_unit]
					variable=flood_speaker
					[filter]
					    [filter_location]
						find_in=flood
						radius=$flood_radius
					    [/filter_location]
					[/filter]
				[/store_unit]
			[/do]
		[/while]
		[message]
			id=$flood_speaker.id
			message= _ "Uh oh, I think the water is rising. We'd better get away from the river before it washes us away..."
		[/message]
	[/event]

try the above

[zookeeper]

[store_unit] doesn't take a [filter_location].

[Sapient]

[store_unit] doesn't take a [filter_location].

true, didn't spot that one... I have edited my post above

[CountPenguin]

ok thank you so much. it works perfectly!

and now i need to add something so that the ai will go away from the river too, otherwise they'll die. so can i make something like this?:
[ai]
[avoid]
x,y=$flood.x,$flood.y
[/avoid]
[/ai]

and is there a way to only put this in effect starting on the 6th turn?

thanks!

[CountPenguin]

How do I fire an event after player one takes their 7th turn? Do I use something with side turn or new turn?

[Sapient]

Use a side turn event and check [if] side_number equals 2 and turn_number equals 7.

[CountPenguin]

Ok thanks. Now I want a new side to come into the scenario on turn eleven. I tried just putting the [side] tag inside an event, but it didn't work (I didn't think it would, but it's worth a try):

Spoiler:

Code: Select all

	[event]
		name=turn 11
		[side]
			side=4
			controller=ai
			team_name=2
			user_team_name= _ "Dwarves"
			#ifdef EASY
				type=Thug
			#endif
			type=Bandit
			id=Balgor
			unit_description=Balgor
			gender=male
			canrecruit=yes
			name=Balgor
			unrenamable=true
			recruit=Thug,Poacher,Footpad
			[ai]
				recruitment_pattern=figher,archer,scout
				[leader_goal]
					x,y=33,8
				[/leader_goal]
			[/ai]
			{GOLD 80 100 120}
			{INCOME 0 2 3}
			[unit]
				type=Footpad
				x,y=24,1
				generate_name=yes
			[/unit]
			[unit]
				type=Poacher
				x,y=22,2
				generate_name=yes
			[/unit]
		[/side]
	[/event]

I'm assuming I just have to put the side tag in with the rest of the scenario, but how do I hide their units until turn 11?
