[Ravana]

So you say it does not work. So, what it does do currently?

Code: Select all

{STORE_UNIT_VAR x,y=$x2,$y2 side darkconverter_side}   
   {MODIFY_UNIT x,y=$x1,$y1 side $darkconverter_side}

Can be done with $second_unit.side


WEAPON_SPECIAL_DARKCONVERSIONDUO uses [event][if][filter]

[Eagle_11]

Well, its not working as in not functioning at all.
Im basically trying to have an custom plague, that checks victim's level, spawns an Skeleton if 0-1 lvl, an Revenant if 2-3 lvl, and does not function if victim is equal to or above killer's level.
Probably will go ahead and rewrite it.

[GbDorn]

Well, it's not working as in not functioning at all.

[if][filter] is invalid as Ravana said, but note a closing [/if] should go after [then]...[/then][else]...[/else].
It is also possible you made an error in the accompanying [unit_type] code you didn't post.

Here is a version handling all levels with a single macro. It uses the formula= key.
Note this code keeps the name, id, movepoints and traits of the killed unit and the animation sequence is weird so you may want to let the unit die and just create another unit rather than using ADVANCE_UNIT.

Hey, thanks for the formular version. I shall publish it soon.

edit: Both advance and transform unit use the old unit's stats, cant simply place it since it runs on death and hex is still occupied.
How to remove traits and name from the unit past transformation ?
