Gold Carryover

Post by tribes45 »

Okay, so I'm making a Strictly low gold scenario, and each time I try to disable gold carryover, this happens:
Spoiler:

here what I put in the Prestart event.

Code: Select all

[gold_carryover]
                bonus=no
				carryover_percentage=0
            [/gold_carryover]
Thanks for the help, Appreciate it.

You're probably looking for something more like:

Code: Select all

[scenario]
    victory_when_enemies_defeated=yes
    carryover_percentage=0
    ....
[/scenario]
No event or tag required.

You can also put it in [endlevel] if you decide you want to give/not give a bonus depending on player actions.

Try this...

Code: Select all

carryover_percentage=0
This doesn't go in an [event] tag, but inside [scenario] and outside all other tags.

EDIT: Alarantalara obviously types faster than I do...

If its still carrying gold over. Did you start the scenario all over? Or used save game?

I tried both. I started from the first scenario, and then went to the last testing it, carryover still took place. - And I tried loading a begining .gz no auto save 1 just gz.

Maybe you have it in the wrong scenario then.

I checked that, just incase I did it put it in both scenarios. It still carryovers gold.

I believe the default is 100 gold for a scenario. Are you specifying the amount of gold for the side with gold=0 or some other value?

This part is perfect to be placed inside an [objectives] tag, to warn the player that no gold will be carried over; but this has no practical effect on the scenario.
What may really interest you is the [endlevel] tag. Example:

Code: Select all

[event]
    name=enemies defeated
    [endlevel]
        result=victory
        bonus=no
        carryover_percentage=0
    [/endlevel]
[/event]
Also, Alarantalara's solution (carryover_percentage inside a [scenario] tag) won't work if you specified victory_when_enemies_defeated=no.

Thanks. :)

I've had similar issues also. Sometimes Wesnoth likes quote marks around text, sometimes it will respond to "yes" differently to true or 1, etc. Try:

Code: Select all

[endlevel]
	result=victory
	carryover_add=true
	carryover_report=no
	bonus=no
	carryover_percentage="0"
[/endlevel]

0 and 1 are no longer considered boolean values, so that could be at least part of it.

OK, at this point every suggestion that we can give you will be only wild guessing, as we don't really know what are you doing (yet). Please post the whole content of your scenario, or the whole campaign compressed in a zip file, so we can take a look. :)
