Re: WML questions: invalid wml

Thanks, that worked great. Next problems: 1. trying to make an event that happens when an adjacent enemy is trying to leave, instead I ended up with something that happens when an enemy comes to adjacent hex. So instead of preemptive strike I intended to make a interception ability. I thought about ...

Re: WML questions: invalid wml

so, for the nested event I needed delayed substitution set to no and "turn $($turn_number + 1)" I still can't get "$unit.image|~B(4)~O(60%)" to stay inside image of a unit. I got unit.image to be "units/demons/blade-demon.png~B(4)~O(60%)", confirmed with a message outpu...

Re: WML questions: invalid wml

Hmm that sounds complicated... Also, I'm wondering what's wrong with this syntax. I'm scratching my head into a rash: [event] id=BS_ability_spiritual_residue name=die first_time_only=no [filter] ability=BS_spiritual_residue [/filter] [animate_unit] [filter] id=$unit.id [/filter] flag=death [/animate...

Re: WML questions: invalid wml

Is there any way to get some codes to happen right before the attack dialog shows up? Apparently the name=attack event happens right after the attack dialog.

ability bits

Just random bit of ability code tested code: Mind over body: This unit converts its battle experiences into health each turn (2 hp per exp). #define ABILITIES_MIND_OVER_BODY # Canned definition of the Alluring ability to be included in an # [abilities] clause. Note: this is deliberately unbalanced W...

Re: WML questions: invalid wml

Thanks guys, you answered my questions 1-3 very well. Though for #3, instead of lua could I just save a side in a variable and use "village_gold"? For 4, I'm thinking a faction (that can both be played as MP and in SP campaigns), that still gains gold from villages but doesn't get the heal...

Re: Hell faction

Good suggestions, uploaded with updated id's for not just units but also movement types, races, abilities, etc. Now version 1.0.2 for this change. Will do textdomain in the future as well. Thanks

Re: WML questions: invalid wml

1. Is there any direct way to count how many players are in a multiplayer match? (besides adding 1 to a variable for each side until next turn refresh) 2. Is there any code to prevent gold gain from towns for a specific side or race? 3. Is there anything to check the gold gain setting (a) of a scena...

Re: Bosses

Just to further clarify, this is a thread to discuss about the concept of making better boss/boss battles. It can be about concept, mechanism and setup like Blarumyrran is talking about, possibilities in abilities like dugi and Xudo posted, or an idea to code for a boss as mattsc suggested. It's not...

Re: Bosses

Well the point of this thread is simply an idea exchange, a discussion to stimulate more ideas. Wesnoth bosses can be rpg style, can be an army vs army battle, it can be whatever achievable by WML and lua. Dugi is right, having special minion mechanism is important in army vs army boss battles. I th...

Bosses

When we talk about boss fights, most people would think about an RPG, but TBS like wesnoth have bosses just the same and can be integral part of any campaign/scenario. A boss fight in a strategy game can integrate the boss, the goons and minions and the environment the battle is fought on. I've give...

Re: Hell faction

Reuploaded, version 1.01 now. Suggestions implemented and some abilities retested/recoded. Would be ready for some fieldtesting I think.

Re: Hell faction

Even though the faction is uploaded, with code completed, the faction still needs to be balanced against standard faction(s). I'm inexperienced in this regard, anyone interested to help?
