filtering a unit by controller

[musketaquid]

Hello!

Can anybody tell me how i can filter a unit by controller. That means, the event should be executed when the unit is controlled by ai. It couldn't be done by side, because the map is in multiplayer mode and i don't know wich side is controlled by whom before playing.
Have to be something like this.

Code: Select all

[event]
    name=moveto
    first_time_only=no
    [filter]
        x,y={X},{Y}
        controller=ai   # something like that?
    [/filter]
    ... (some code) ...
[/event]

[DEATH_is_undead]

Should work...

[zookeeper]

Code: Select all

[event]
    name=moveto
    first_time_only=no
    
    [store_side]
        side=$side_number
        variable=temp
    [/store_side]
    
    [if]
        [variable]
            name=temp.controller
            equals=ai
        [/variable]
        
        [then]
            ...
        [/then]
        
        [else]
            [allow_undo]
            [/allow_undo]
        [/else]
    [/if]
    
    {CLEAR_VARIABLE temp}
[/event]

I'm not sure if clients across the network will know whether the AI sides are controlled by the AI. At least the other clients won't know if someone droids himself, and thus you must be careful that doing stuff like this won't cause OOS (since the above check will pass on the client of whoever droided himself, but not on the other clients).

Thanks a lot! It works fine

Concerning the danger of OOS errors, i use this check only to skip a dialog for ai turns. That means only human players will see the dialog. I think it shouldn't throw some OOS even if someone droids. But it has to be tested.

Yeah, there's no problem if you don't actually change anything in the event (or use random, since random in MP requires that each client executes the same number of calls to prevent them from going off-sync).
