My Amla file is looking like that (but it isnt do higher lvls with getting next levels, and bonuses for strikes isnt working

).

As zookeeper usually says, if something isn't in the wiki, then it means that it doesn't work. And in that file there are several examples of made-up WML.

Code: Select all

      [effect]
            apply_to=attack
         increase_damage=1.5
        [/effect]

Code: Select all

      [effect]
         apply_to=attack
         increase_attacks=0.5
      [/effect]

increase_damage must either be an integer or a percentage; I'm not sure, but I think that if it's a float it'll be truncated.

Code: Select all

      [effect]
         [event]
            id=amla_default_lvlup
            name=lvl_up
            first_time_only=no
            [modify_unit]   
               [filter]
                  type=xxxxx
                  ##  probably type=xxxxx, but could potentially be whatever you want
               [/filter]
               ##  increase level by 1
               ##  either look it up in the WML Reference, or wait and somebody will probably tell you how
               apply_to=level
               increase_level=1
            [/modify_unit]
         [/event]
      [/effect]

At http://wiki.wesnoth.org/EffectWML , is there [event] amongst the accepted stuff inside [effect]? No. So, it'll never work.

Code: Select all

        [effect]
            apply_to=resistance
            replace=no
         [resistance]
                cold=-2
            [/resistance]
        [/effect]
        [effect]
            apply_to=resistance
            replace=no
            [resistance]
                fire=-2
            [/resistance]
        [/effect]
      [effect]
         apply_to=resistance
         replace=no
         [resistance]
            arcane=-2
         [/resistance]
      [/effect]
      [effect]
         apply_to=resistance
         replace=no
         [resistance]
            impact=-2
         [/resistance]
      [/effect]
      [effect]
         apply_to=resistance
         replace=no
         [resistance]
            pierce=-2
         [/resistance]
      [/effect]
      [effect]
         apply_to=resistance
         replace=no
         [resistance]
            blade=-2
         [/resistance]
      [/effect]

First of all, with this syntax you're simply adding 2 or subtracting 2 (maybe you intended 20?) to the unit's current resistance. Multiplication and division are not possible, as the [resistance] tag must match the structure described at http://wiki.wesnoth.org/UnitsWML . Not only this, but all the six [effect]s above can be joined into one:

Code: Select all

        [effect]
            apply_to=resistance
            replace=no
            [resistance]
                 cold=-2
                 fire=-2
                 arcane=-2
                 impact=-2
                 pierce=-2
                 blade=-2
            [/resistance]
      [/effect]

Resistances they are work well

. Try this era on SX RPG, there you can check your resistances in shop

. Just check them when you will get another lvl with using amla codes.

ChaosRider · Post by **ChaosRider** » June 2nd, 2012, 1:19 pm

Is it possible to order the units in my era (taken from the core wesnoth) to use the file Amla is also being amended and in my era, without making copies of them?

A Guy · Post by **A Guy** » June 2nd, 2012, 6:46 pm

I don't quite get what you're asking. May you please clarify your question?

Website · Post by **Sapient** » June 3rd, 2012, 3:39 am

yes, it is possible to change amla of official units using WML and does not require base_unit copies of the unit_type. You can modify the advancement tags using manipulation of stored unit variables, or possibly with modify_unit. I would do this in all the events where units may enter the map: recruit,recall etc. Also when they advance, using post_advance event. Then set a unit.variables.custom_amla=yes so that you can filter and won't need to apply the changes more than once. Also you would need to filter on advances_to=null to prevent applying the fix on a unit that wasn't yet max level.

I imagine it would look something like this (untested):

Code: Select all


[event]
    name=prestart
    [set_variables]
        name=custom_amla
        [value]
            {CUSTOM_AMLA1}
            {CUSTOM_AMLA2}
            {CUSTOM_AMLA3}
        [/value]
    [/set_variables]
[/event]

[event]
    name=recruit,recall,post_advance
    first_time_only=no
    [filter]
        advances_to=null
        [not]
            [filter_wml]
                [variables]
                    custom_amla=yes
                [/variables]
            [/filter_wml]
        [/not]
    [/filter]
    [set_variables]
        name=unit.advancement
        mode=replace
        to_variable=custom_amla.advancement
    [/set_variables]
    {VARIABLE unit.variables.custom_amla yes}
    [unstore_unit]
        variable=unit
    [/unstore_unit]
[/event]

Someone who can program the code for Wesnoth could do such as increased by 1 level units along with code Amla.

You can check resistances on any map, in any game of Wesnoth, by selecting the unit, then hovering your mouse over the HP.

Time for more questions. I tried to do that would increase the ability the units life (as in the regeneration, but here depend on the maximum number of points of life) and ability to be increased or reduced the hit points of units adjacent to them, as a percentage of maximum points of the life of units. Obviously did not work ... Someone could help me with this? Here are the codes of my the ability that do not work ...

Heals - 5%

Code: Select all

#define ABILITY_HEALS_5%
    # Canned definition of the heal 5% ability to be included in an [abilities] clause.

        description=  _ "heals +5% of hp max:
Allows the unit to heal adjacent allied units at the beginning of our turn.

A unit cared for by this healer may heal up to 5% of max HP per turn, or stop poison from taking effect for that turn.
A poisoned unit cannot be cured of its poison by a healer, and must seek the care of a village or a unit that can cure."

            adjacent=n,ne,se,s,sw,nw

Regenerates - 5%

Code: Select all

#define ABILITY_REGENERATES_5%
    # Canned definition of the Regenerate ability to be included in an [abilities]
    # clause.
    [regenerate]
        value=0.05

        affect_self=yes

    [/regenerate]
#enddef

Killing - 5%

Code: Select all

#define ABILITY_KILLING_5%
    # Canned definition of the killing -5% of hp max ability to be included in an [abilities] clause.

Not tested, there might be some minor errors, but you should be able to figure them out. I also fixed the description of the killing 5%. Please, post it here once you test it.

Ok, these codes are working properly. Thanks so much, the cake will surely somewhere ^ ^. So now I had another question. The one addition I use the unit with another additive. What should I write and where to in the first addition there is information that you need to download again the second add-on?

Dugi · Post by **Dugi** » June 27th, 2012, 6:57 am

I am failing to comprehend your question. Maybe you should try to reformulate it, make an example or something.

terrorbot276 · Post by **terrorbot276** » June 27th, 2012, 3:19 pm

What is the ability you're trying to use? Is it a custom ability, or is this a bug with the one of the original abilities? If you could give this info, somebody might be able to pinpoint the problem.

ChaosRider · Post by **ChaosRider** » June 27th, 2012, 5:00 pm

Already found the answer to another question (thanks to another player). Thanks to that I was able to use units of Creep War Edit in the Colosseum changed (and the game tells about the need to download another addon before you try play colosseum changed).

ChaosRider · Post by **ChaosRider** » July 9th, 2012, 6:26 pm

Here you have some code which is let your unit to get 1 more dmg with each killed enemie unit. Like for me its a bit too powerfull ability so i want to make it a bit slower, 1 dmg per "n" kills, for example this n can be 5
