Victory when killing specific leaders

[revansurik]

Hi folks! See if this is possible: in a scenario of my campaign, the player must defeat 2 specific leaders (out of 5) to win the scenario. Problem is, I'm not figuring out a way of making their deaths result in victory; I have used victor_when_enemies_defeated=no and the code below, but none works. Is there a way to make those 2 leaders' deaths the victory condition?

This is the code I tried; sides 3 and 4 are those of the leaders that must be killed; afterwards there is only some dialog and the endlevel=victory tag:

Code: Select all

	
    [event]
	   name=enemies defeated
	   [filter]
	    side=3,4
      [/filter]

Create two events, one for the death of each leader. In each event, check to see if the other leader is still living; if not, go to the victory event.

I hadn't thought of that... It worked, thanks very much!

Erm, just another little doubt I've just found, how does the store_unit_type tag works? I tried to use it to store all dwarf units on the recall list, but a message popped up saying 'invalid WML found: store_unit_type missing required type = attribute'

the code I used...

Code: Select all

            [store_unit_type]
                [filter]
                    side=1
                    x,y=recall,recall
                    type=Dwarvish Fighter,Dwarvish Steelclad,Dwarvish Lord,Dwarvish Scout,Dwarvish Pathfinder,Dwarvish Explorer
                [/filter]

                kill=yes
                variable=dwarf_workers
            [/store_unit_type]

[store_unit_type] only takes type= as an argument, no [filter]. If you want to use a filter like that, just use[store_unit].

[revansurik]

Changed the code as below, still not working... I also tried without the 'side' and 'x,y', to no avail...

Code: Select all

           [store_unit_type]
			    side=1
				x,y=recall,recall
                type=Dwarvish Fighter,Dwarvish Steelclad,Dwarvish Lord,Dwarvish Scout,Dwarvish Pathfinder,Dwarvish Explorer
                variable=dwarf_workers
            [/store_unit_type]

Maybe I'll just disallow the recruiting of dwarves, the way I want to make it is getting too complicated... later in the scenario, I'd put (or try to) the stored dwarves back to the recall list, and I don't know whether the code I used will work

This is the code, anyway...

Code: Select all

	   
{PUT_TO_RECALL_LIST (
    variable=dwarf_workers

)}

Use what you had before, but with [store_unit], not [store_unit_type].

[revansurik]

I used [store_unit], and the units disappeared from the recall list; but, when I unstored them (at x,y=recall,recall), only 1 unit was back, and originally there were many.

Did I forget anything in the code, or should I use a different one?

Code: Select all

		[unstore_unit]
           variable=dwarf_workers
           x=recall
           y=recall
        [/unstore_unit]	

[Pentarctagon]

If you store multiple units it creates an array of them, so you'll have to loop through and unstore all of them.

[revansurik]

and how could I make this loop...? (sorry, my knowledge of coding is still a bit limited )

[Pentarctagon]

With the FOREACH macro:

Code: Select all

{FOREACH dwarf_workers i}
          [unstore_unit]
               variable=dwarf_workers[$i]
               x=recall
               y=recall
          [/unstore_unit]   
{NEXT i}

Yessss, it worked! Thanks a lot!
