The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Thanks for the pointer, I think I've figured it out now.

In Wesnoth 1.18.2, in my scenario WML, for some sides I have the following variables section: [variables] [tactics] [tactic] role=assassin count=0 weigth=3 [/tactic] [tactic] role=hunter count=0 weight=2 [/tactic] [tactic] # no particular role count=0 weight=1 [/tactic] total_counts=0 total_weights=...

But set_extra_recruits will define additional recruits attached to the leader, right? To achieve what I want I'd need to set the side's standard recruit list to be empty and only use extra recruits. Right?

Okay, I debugged the issue and understood it. The problem was actually not in the piece of code that I have shown, buit in another, handling another type of castle, of which there were multiple instances. The reason for error was my misunderstanding of how [or] tag works. I wrote: [filter] side=1,2,...

I managed to solve it using formula condition instead of controller within filter_side like this: [event] name=prestart [kill] [filter_side] side=1,2,3,4 formula="not (is_human or is_network or is_ai)" [/filter_side] [/kill] [/event]

I thought to leave it there for the moment, while I'm still developing the scenario. Otherwise, what is the editor/scenarios directory good for if files in there don't load macros by default? In any case, this doesn't seem to work. When I enter any multiplayer game setup, I get Error: Macro/file 'da...

Thanks a lot for the explanation and the workaround. I'll try to make it work! BTW, macros don't seem to work for me for some reason. I verified they're where they're supposed to be in /usr/share/wesnoth, but whenever I try to use one, I get file-not-found error mentioning the macro name. I place my...

Initially I didn't write side=$unit.side, I added it later thinking maybe it'd solve the problem, but it didn't/ Thanks for explanation, anyway.

Have you verified with :inspect that

Not yet. But I observed that other sides' recruitment lists change in a way consistent with what I described above.

In a multiplayer scenario that I'm working on, I want a mechanics inspired by games like Heroes of Might and Magic. Namely, I want the list of units a leader can recruit depend on the type of castle they're currently in. To do it, I'm using moveto and exit_hex events as follows: # recruiting elves [...

I'm building a multiplayer scenario, intended to be played by 1-4 players. Each side has a predefined leader, so if there is less than 4 players I need to remove non-playing leaders in a prestart event. I wrote the following code to accomplish this: [event] name=prestart [kill] [filter_side] side=1,...
