AMLA code not quite working

[LordAwsomeness]

Hi so im experimenting with some AMLA coding and im having some issues. Currently im trying to use a variable to increase the unit's current hp as an alternative to full healing. unfortunately the variable AMLA is not working. it shows up fine in the inspect window so I know that the code is fine.

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

#define LA_AMLA_BUFF
    [advancement]
        strict_amla=yes
        max_times=100
        id=la_amla_buff
        description= _ "Max HP bonus +4, Max XP +10%"
        image="icons/amla-default.png"
        [effect]
            apply_to=hitpoints
            increase_total=4
			increase=$la_hero[$unit.side].amla.hp_recovery
			violate_maximum=no
#            heal_full=yes
        [/effect]
        [effect]
            apply_to=max_experience
            increase=10%
        [/effect]
        [effect]
            apply_to=status
            remove=poisoned
        [/effect]
        [effect]
            apply_to=status
            remove=slowed
        [/effect]
    [/advancement]
#enddef

here's essentially what the code is supposed to do:

Code: Select all

#define LA_AMLA_BUFF
    [advancement]
        strict_amla=yes
        max_times=100
        id=la_amla_buff
        description= _ "Max HP bonus +4, Max XP +10%"
        image="icons/amla-default.png"
        [effect]
            apply_to=hitpoints
            increase_total=4
			increase=16
			violate_maximum=no
#            heal_full=yes
        [/effect]
        [effect]
            apply_to=max_experience
            increase=10%
        [/effect]
        [effect]
            apply_to=status
            remove=poisoned
        [/effect]
        [effect]
            apply_to=status
            remove=slowed
        [/effect]
    [/advancement]
#enddef

I guess that the $unit variable is not available in this context. It's only available in [event]s
$side_number should work, though that fits only offensively.

Isn't post_advance an event though?

$side_number should work, though that fits only offensively.

I figured $unit.side would be better since you can level up when its not your turn


EDIT:
I just created an object effect in a post_advance event and made the modifications that I wanted to there. Thank you for your help though! Problem is now solved!

It is, but the [advancement] doesn't happen in an event.
But you can save the value of $unit.side in a pre advancement event to another variable, and clear it in post advancement.
If that it the problem.

Definitely.

Just edited my last post. Put it in an object in a post_advance event and it worked perfectly. Thank you for your help!
