ForestDragon's WML questions

[ForestDragon]

I would use something like

Code: Select all

formula="(($this_unit.max_hitpoints -1+1) / ($this_unit.hitpoints -1+1)) > 2"

ok, so, i should put it inside [filter_wml] tag, right?

[Ravana]

No. [unit] doesnt have formula key.

[ForestDragon]

No. [unit] doesnt have formula key.

then where do i put it? i want the AI to NOT avoid ALL units matching this criteria

[Ravana]

formula= is part of standard unit filter.

[ForestDragon]

formula= is part of standard unit filter.

ok, thanks

[ForestDragon]

hi, i am back, so, quick question, can i make a MP mod which adds more colors to the side color selection menu (like the yellow/pink from Iftu)?

[Ravana]

No. But you can change them later, like https://github.com/ProditorMagnus/Color ... or_mod.cfg

In order to change menu, you might need "core" addon type.

[ForestDragon]

thanks! i might use this addon as a base for mine (i am planning to add it to my era)

hi, so, i am working on an ability called paralyze, but it's effects wear off on the paralyzed unit's turn, i know that it's caused by the 'duration=turn' in the [object], can anyone tell me a way around that?:

I would suggest either not using objects, or removing objects in code at right time.

hi, so, back to the paralyze special, i am trying to make it so that it wears off, but it doesn't work (i copied the timer from 'sculpts' ability from Era of Magic, in which (and in my era) it works) here is the paralyze special again:

the evenr in question is most likely the ''side turn" event

[Ravana]

but it doesn't work

So, what does happen?

Also, which version you use? I believe 1.13 mapped FOREACH to iter instead of fori.

i use 1.12 version. about 'what does happen?' i didn't quite get what you mean. If you mean about what's wrong, it's the fact that the effect isn't removed at the 'side turn' event

[Eagle_11]

Paralyze is supposed to do what ? 'freeze' target unit for the next turn ?

[Ravana]

What does happen as in does sculpt_unit_information have the data that it should at that point.
