I am creating a campaign, but run into a an error that I don't understand. In the seventh scenario I want to use the leader with the id "Konrad". I have done this in the previous scenarios, but this time it somehow does not work. I don't think there is an error in the code. How are the leaders managed by the game?

Code: Select all

[gfgtdf]

you need to add type= in [side], otherwise the game won't be able to tell of what typ your leader should be and will thus not create a leader.

[Xara]

you need to add type= in [side], otherwise the game won't be able to tell of what typ your leader should be and will thus not create a leader.

It sounds like a bug of Wesnoth, that you can give a side an irrelevant wrong type if it's inherited from previous scenarios, but not an absent one.

[gbnmvfx]

you need to add type= in [side], otherwise the game won't be able to tell of what typ your leader should be and will thus not create a leader.

Yes, that is what the error message is saying, but I have multiple scenarios without the type attribute and it works fine.

[gbnmvfx]

ok, suppose I need to use that attribute. How do I know the type of the leader? He could be level 1 or 2 or 3. That is determined by the actions of the player in the previous scenarios.

[Bitron]

if the id is present from the previous scenarios, it will take what ever type this unit now is.
If you use a new id, which has not occured before, that you need to specify a type for that new leader.

Edit: Also, you say you want to use id=Konrad, but in your code you have id=Kalenz

[gbnmvfx]

I use the three leaders Kalenz, Konrad and Knalgan. In the previous scenarios it works like you said, but somehow it doesn't work for Konrad in the seventh scenario. I checked the id at least four times, it is correct. If I remove Konrad and only use the two other leaders, then the scenario works fine. Possibly Konrad is deleted by the game, but how could that happen?

[Bitron]

Note that your recall list is saved for a specific leader.
If you change the sides ID, you use a different recall list. Thus, all units, leader inclusive, are gone.
You can use the keyword save_id=player to store the recall list and use it for all three leaders.

[gbnmvfx]

ok, now I get the error message in the second scenario. How many leaders can the game handle? I possibly use to many and should use normal units with the ability to recruit instead.

[Bitron]

Using the type= and id= key inside of [side], it can only be one leader, if I am not mistaken.
If you want to have additional leaders in the same side, adding them as normal units with the ability to recruit is the way to go.

Wie dem auch sei. Ich werde die Kampagne nicht weiterentwickeln. Tschüss!
