That's a good question, and it made me realize that you want $this_unit (which is indeed filled in by [harm_unit]) rather than $unit (which is filled in by the event, but in your case would be blank since it's a turn event).

The way I understood use was, $self was meant as unit with ability, not the unit being harmed. Hmm, you're right. I saw that this was about an ability and thought we were talking about an ability formula and missed the fact that, in fact, there was a [harm_unit] tag involved. So, I think changing t...

Let me just repeat myself: passing _G to stringx.vformat will not work . _("There is a $color $species.") I only speak American, not even English, but that looks like a pain for translators. Would they re-order $color and $species as necessary (in which case this appears to be a preferable...

amount="$($self.hitpoints*0.6)" <-------- THE PROBLEM I WANT TO SOLVE That's wrong. Delete the $ signs and you should have it working. What that actually does is look for a WML container variable called self which contains a variable called hitpoints . Failing to find one, it deletes the ...

So I want to tell the enemy "put more focus on attacking canrecruit=no". But not, "completely ignore the human leaders, allowing them to assassination our leaders). Seems "simple" enough, two goals (or aspects??): attack canrecruit=no / protect leader. I can see how to do e...

_("There is a $color $species.") I only speak American, not even English, but that looks like a pain for translators. Would they re-order $color and $species as necessary (in which case this appears to be a preferable alternative to string.format, which I find much more readable)? What ab...

There isn't really any reason you would want to use both the concatenation operator .. and stringx.vformat together. I wouldn't say there is no reason at all, but the case discussed in this thread is definitely not a reason to use them together. What there's not point in doing is calling vformat wi...

Nope, Kitty hasn't been around for years.

You don't need to make it translatable at all. Just concatenate if that feels easier for you, but keep in mind that when you do need something to be translatable that you must use stringx.vformat (or string.format is fine too).

Regarding how invulnerable works, it just forces the hit chance to zero.

Sorry, that one I'm not sure about.

I'm not quite sure if this will work, but you could try this:
Completely hypothetical and untested. I'm not even sure if a close() function exists.

I think translating wiki stuff is probably better done using wiki-specific methods rather than something like po4a, especially since po4a doesn't support MediaWiki markup. For example, this extension (which is not installed on our wiki though). From my perspective, the flow you've outlined seems qui...

The spinner is a very new widget, so it's possible that some essential parts of interacting with it in Lua just haven't been implemented yet. I don't know any details about it.

You can remove a sound source from the map. If it still continues to play after you do that, then that's clearly a bug.
