Next problem: new ability is working.... too well

Post by Kapoue_II »

I have rewritten my elvish red mage unit to take away its leadership, and replace it with "fear". Fear looks like this:

Code: Select all

[abilities]
        [leadership]
          value=-25
          id=fear
          affect_allies=no
          affect_enemies=yes
          affect_self=no
          cumulative=yes
          name= _ "Fear"
          description= _ "All enemies are scared of this unit, and fight worse"
         [affect_adjacent]
          adjacent=n,ne,se,s,sw,nw
         [/affect_adjacent]
        [/leadership]
    [/abilities]
However , when i call up the statistics in the game........ it says that the unit (the enemy) is losing -100025% on its attack. So..... every single thing is working EXCEPT for the amount the enemy is penalised. How do i fix it?

Try setting cumulative to false.

Thank you, the cumalative thing fixed it.

As for how does it work........ Leadership gives bonus to your team right? But intead of 25% I put -25%-so it makes them fight weaker. Then i changed "affect allies" to "no" and affect enemies to "yes". Now its the enemy who is losing 25% attack.
