Time control!

[Rozard]

I was planning some time control magic to one of my factions.

I was thinkin that unit with "Time control" could when ever you want to skip time of the day in cost of a gold...
for example: afternoon -> Dusk etc.

Other one would be weapon ability that also damages enemies xp (runing enemies memories back in time...)

Are these abilities possible?
I myself am pitiful with the WML... (the only thing thats hard for making factions..)

Yep.
You could use an event-driven ability with a turn 1 event setting a menu item which fires [modify_turns]current="$($turn_number+1)"
(untested).

Yep. You could use an event-driven ability with an attacker hits event which modifies the attacked unit's xp (probably something like {VARIABLE second_unit.experience=0} and [unstore_unit]variable=second_unit, which just removes all experience (untested)).

For the second question, if you had 1.9 you could do

Code: Select all

[modify_unit]
    [filter]
        id=$second_unit
    [/filter]
    experience=0 #or any other number
[/modify_unit]

Disclamer: untested

[Ceres]

That'd always set the experience to that number. And $second_unit is wrong. Try this or Anonymissimus' option.

Code: Select all

[modify_unit]
    [filter]
        id=$second_unit.id
    [/filter]
    experience="$($second_unit.experience-1)" #or any other number
[/modify_unit]

Aww... sounds hard... I can try making exp lowering WML with your advices...

But that time control ability is bit open right now...
Wouldnt this event-driven ability make turns run?
I mean, if there where a time limit...

[matsjoyce]

Yes, it would. To remedy you could put add=1 into the [modify_turns] bit.

[Rozard]

Yes, it would. To remedy you could put add=1 into the [modify_turns] bit.

Hmm... I think I understand that...

Btw, how much should this cost? 30 gold? so with 60 gold you can jump over the day/night time?
