How to store and unstore a unit?
Well I got another problem:
At one point I want the player to be able to select a unit by opening a menu item in the context menu, which will bring up a message with options. Next to the selected unit should be a boat. One of the options should include storing the unit inside a variable of the boat. How can I do that?
this will store the unit (not the boat) in the variable ttt though... I would like the unit stored inside boat.variables.ttt though. Can anyone give me a clue how to do it or best case a working code?
Also I don't get why my unit isn't unstored in the following code:

Re: How to store and unstore a unit?
In response to your first question instead of storing the unit inside the boat variable you could just store the unit kill=yes and the he would dissappear as if in the boat. But since he is stored you can recreate him when your boat lands at its destination.
For example:
As for your second question I do not use the [0] usually, also you could try removing the $ infront of your variable in the [unstore_unit] tag. That is moat likely your problem because the $ will make the variable load its value.
For example:
Code: Select all
[store_unit]
[filter]
x, y=$x1,$y1
[/filter]
kill=yes
variable=in_boat
[/store_unit]

Re: How to store and unstore a unit?
sounds good, but how do I know in which boat the unit is, when there is more than one?
Re: How to store and unstore a unit?
Just store a different variable for each boat. Either you could create an event for each boat that could be adjacent using id=YOUR_BOATS_ID or if you don't know all your boats id's you could create a event that stores the id when you move next to it like this:white wrote:sounds good, but how do I know in which boat the unit is, when there is more than one?
Code: Select all
[event]
name=moveto
first_time_only=no
# this event will happen when ever your unit moves next to a friendly boat

type=Boat
is_enemy=no

# the narrator then will ask wether you want to enter the boat

terrain=YOUR_TERRAIN
[/filter_location]
count=6
[/not]
[/filter_adjacent]
in_boat_WHAT_EVER_YOUR_BOAT_IS and then search through the variable:(for this example i will pretend your boat's id was 'klaben'
Code: Select all
{FOREACH in_boat_klaben i}
#create a unit
[unstore_unit]
x,y=$klaben.x,$klaben.y
variable=$in_boat_klaben[$i]
[/unstore_unit]
{NEXT i}
{CLEAR_VARIABLE in_boat_klaben}
$klaben.x and $klaben.y this obviously will only work if you have previously stored the boats location somehow in the event to release units off the boat. Also all the code here is untested and so i can not confirm it will work but it gives a good idea of what you can do, here is a page with more about filtering.Creator of: The Reign of The Lords Era,The Gnats Franken Dungeon.

Thanks for taking your time to explain me that. Sounds good and I will test to do that soon.

Re: How to store and unstore a unit?
Sorry it took me so long, but I just tested that part and found out it doesn't work. I added an [/message] because you were missing that as well, but when executing this code the unit entering the boat doesn't get deleted from the map. Your code also doesn't work when moving next to two or more boats at the same time. If you enter the boat then (which one anyway? xD) then it will store three boats when there are actually only two. The inspector shows, that the third boat generated will be the unit that tried to enter. Do you have any clue why it behaves that way? Well why it doesn't kill the unit even though there is kill=yes in the code... and how to fix the multiple boats issue as well?The_Gnat wrote: Just store a different variable for each boat.

I will have a further look into this and see if i can solve the problem!white wrote: Sorry it took me so long, but I just tested that part and found out it doesn't work.

EDIT: this is actually really complicated and will take a little longer than i thought

Re: How to store and unstore a unit?
Hello, i have fixed the problem!
With the help of a bunch of dev's and after borrowing some code from SoBe i have created this:
Basically just replace "Elvish Fighter" with the type of boat or caravan you want to have units get onto and this event creates a message option each time you move next to a boat. If you choose to get on the boat then their is a new menu option when you right-click that allows you to unload the boat.
Hopefully this helps! If you have any other questions just ask!

Re: How to store and unstore a unit?
Hey man, I come here a little bit late but I am trying to use your code for a weird 8 player multiplayer scenario I am making with boats and stuff and I copy pasted your code and changed all Elven Fighters to Pirate Galleons inside a [multiplayer] tag but when I tested it by moving any unit adjacent to a boat no message appears.The_Gnat wrote:Hello, i have fixed the problem!

Re: How to store and unstore a unit?
One more question, how do i set a limit to how many units can be in a ship at the same time?Ceres wrote:WML inside a#defineis not executed by itself.

Re: How to store and unstore a unit?
Keep a count or count the stored units every time you need to know
I forked real life and now I'm getting merge conflicts.
Re: How to store and unstore a unit?
Yes that would work, i would suggest using the [show_if] tag in the [message] that allows you to embark. Only show the message if the boats current unit count is not too many.Tad_Carlucci wrote:Keep a count or count the stored units every time you need to know
