Re: [engine] Stop when attacked
cancel auto move orders for units that have _not_ seen a newly discovered unit (one that stops only the first unit to spot it... the following units keep going...). I'm not sure I entirely understand. Wouldn't this just mean cancelling all orders unconditionally? It's been a while since I actually ...

Re: formula help for a weapon special needed
I think the issue is that damage_inflicted is a WML variable, not a WFL one. When you wrote value=-($damage_inflicted) , because the minus was before the parentheses, I don't think it's evaluated as a formula anymore, that's why it worked - it just substituted the wml variable. I think you don't nee...

Re: WFL and damage special
Ah, so defense is a map object. Well, I have no idea how to get the terrain for it from the defending unit if defender doesn't seem to work properly.
I guess someone with more in-depth knowledge about wfl and the 1.15 stuff should take a look at what's going on. I'm out of ideas.

Re: WFL and damage special
Hmm, banner at the top: "Formula AI is still functional for the time being, but it is not maintained any more. That applies to both the code and these wiki pages. " :hmm: I'm guessing it wasn't updated to the 1.15 feature of self, student, attacker, defender, other . EDIT: Btw, since 1.15....

Re: WFL and damage special
I'm not a WFL expert, but why do you need to use an external variable? Wouldn't just multiply="(0.01 * defense_on( unit_at(other.loc), other.loc ))" work? Just an idea though. I also didn't find defense_on and unit_at among wiki wfl functions, so I'm guessing they are your custom ones - if...

Re: The Pool of Ek [SP Campaign] v1.15
A bug I noticed on the first scenario: on easy mode, if you skip the intro dialogue, then Boolzak only gets a loyal crown overlay, instead of the silver hero crown. If I don't skip the dialogue he gets the correct one though. (Yeah, I'm playing on easy now. I tried on normal initially but gave up af...

Re: The Pool of Ek [SP Campaign] v1.15
It looks very promising, congrats on the publishing :) I'll provide feedback to your questions when I find some time to play. For now, a few first-minute observations: after installation the add-on is 100 MB in size - that's huge for a small campaign. I had to check what's making it this big - and i...

Re: 3 questions: to_location; chaining events ; store_unit
So I made two versions of corruption, one for modify_unit and one for modifications . That helped a lot, but it was still flawed when it came to hitpoints. I'll do what you suggested and just use modify_unit for all the corruptions. If you want to stick to your current layout with the macros, it's ...

Re: 3 questions: to_location; chaining events ; store_unit
I spoke too soon. Evidently I still don't 'get' have_unit . A unit (id=ShroomkinLeader) is injured. When he is fully healed (61 hitpoints) he will speak a message. The code does not work. The message fires the first turn, even though he has fewer than 61 hitpoints. Standard Unit Filter has no hitpo...

Re: 3 questions: to_location; chaining events ; store_unit
I finally 'get' have_unit . Thanks. For future reference, it also has an option to search on a recall lists as well, and you can even specify the count for the number of units that must match the filter. Neat tools to use. level=0,1 works. Yay. Thanks. Thanks, I added the info that it accepts comma...

Re: 3 questions: to_location; chaining events ; store_unit
As beetlenaut says, so the standard unit filter keys are recognized. There is a level key, but I don't know if would accept a comma separated list of level=0,1 . (You could test it so that the wiki can be amended with the result info). Otherwise you could just use a formula for this. [have_unit] id=...

Re: "Alert" unit immune to backstab
Also the damage is not doubling and the attack name is not changing from "sting" to "precision sting." [effect] apply_to=attack name=precision sting increase_damage=100% [/effect] I think here's the problem: name in an attack effect is a filter for which attack to modify, and it...

Re: 3 questions: to_location; chaining events ; store_unit
No worries, trial and error is probably the best way to learn :) I wonder how much of my code is not exactly logical and proper? It all seems to work, though. You may not realize that now, but this is actually a very good approach. You can always optimize your code later . It's a good mindset to fir...

Re: 3 questions: to_location; chaining events ; store_unit
But this is not how the + syntax is supposed to be used. It doesn't "link" tags as you previously put it - it appends to the end of it. So stuff [/tag] [+tag] other stuff [/tag] Is equivalent to stuff other stuff [/tag] Therefore this question: Does the +tag work with events that have mult...

Re: 3 questions: to_location; chaining events ; store_unit
I thought it would be a good idea to link event s like this... (I was afraid maybe they would not fire in the right order, otherwise). I don't think there's a single "correct" way, it entirely depends on what you want to achieve exactly. :) The +tag way appends the previous matching tag, ...
