The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I already know that changing to delayed_variable_substitution=yes doesn't work.

What is the rationale behind $|this_spot?

Hello, I am currently trying to figure out the following macro. It works as intented until "name=side 2 turn $random" event included. However, at "name=side 2 turn refresh" it starts to fail substituting variables. The "current_{DIR}_spots" variable never changes; even though {DIR}_spots does get ...

Yes. The "Normal" and the "Hardest" difficulties are balanced around the presence/absence of the Dwarven Mayor, your secondary leader. In a sense, these are two alternate universes caused by the difference of one important person. I am designing these scenarios around this feature, as opposed to ...

Hello,

Some user on Steam Forum asked the following question. I don't want to step in on Steam forums before the devs, but perhaps it is worth responding.

Is this possible to do through debug? Is this possible to do via WML, just copying and pasting a line or code or something similarly ...

Ok, I see. Thank you WLFobe. I will double check with the forum, as well as the mainline campaigns, to see what is the standard convention for such objective sets, which I assumed was as I did.

This is weird. Please check if the following is present when you open the objectives after surviving the first night.

Macros are useful to keep the code shorter, particularly in the case of variables and conditionals.

{VARIABLE gold 50}

is less tiresome than

[set_variable]
name=gold
value=50
[/set_variable]

At some point you will naturally start to gravitate towards using and defining macros wherever you ...

I wouldn't mind if you let me know how was your experience so far. Did you beat the other plotline yet?

Hello, WLFobe.

There are two alternative win conditions for the "River Dead". One is more difficult than the other and so they lead to correspondingly challenging branches.

That said, "The Vampire Strikes Back" is the first on my list to be remade, probably soon. Knowing what I know now, I would ...

Hello,

After a long break comprising 2 jobs, 3 countries and 1 start-up, I was finally able to somewhat stabilize my life and resume work on the campaign.

Behold the promised campaign - multiple storylines with endings. I will keep expanding this campaign - I have plans for at least 5 new ...

Thank you, Celtic_Minstel. I have another question - does the "simple attack" [micro_ai] override/supersede [avoid] [ai]?

My experiences show that this would be the case.

Hello,

Thank you, I checked the :inspect above at the start of the first turn. When I fixed "leader" to "leader_id", the problem persisted.

The problem persists in my current solution, where I am activating each leader separately at different times with the three blocks below:

[modify_unit ...

Hello. Sometimes I need to double check some stuff to rule out false-positives during testing. Please excuse me if this is somewhere in the wiki, I couldn't actually find it.

My first question is - is this correct syntax for my [if] clause?

[have_unit]
type=Skeleton
count=$corner_skeleton ...

Hello,

Now I am stuggling with something completely different. Namely - all my AI recruitment instructions come with "blocker=yes" even if I explicitly set it to "no". I have been doing so many code gymnastics, somehow it always sets to "blocker=yes" no matter what and where I do. Can someone ...

Haha, thanks for the replies.

I am always trying to come up with extra decisions that the player could make. Lining the shore up with washed-out fish carcass that can come back to life (or be stomped to death) could entice more strategic movement from the player, without necessarily introducing ...
