Custom Unit

[tribes45]

Is there an abillity, or trait or something I can give a unit to make them "Anti-Drain" meaning they can't be drained?

Oh and, is there error in this? It won't work for some damned reason.

Code: Select all

[event]
name=turn 8
[filter]
side=3
[/filter]
gold=500
[/event]

Thx.

If you want to give 500 gold to side 3 on turn 8, use:

Code: Select all

[event]
    name=turn 8
    [gold]
        side=3
        amount=500
    [/gold]
[/event]

Why thank you

I'm still learning with WML, but I think this should work.
When a unit with {ABILITY_UNDRAINABLE} fights a unit with a drain attack, the undrainable unit temporarily gains not_living=yes, then loses it after the fight. In effect, it becomes undead for the duration of the fight.
Note that it will also be temporarily immune to plague and poison, though these will not trigger the effect unless they are combined with drain.

Put {ABILITY_UNDRAINABLE} in the unit file like any other ability, along with the word {UNDRAINABLE} (this must be inside [unit_type], but outside all other tags.
Put the event code into a scenario, utils or abilities file.

Code: Select all

#define ABILITY_UNDRAINABLE
	[dummy]
	    id=undrainable
	    name= _ "undrainable"
	    description= _ "this unit is cannot be drained.
It will still be damaged by draining attacks, but the enemy will not gain any HP."
