[solved?] Filter unit by [variation] 1.15.4

[Pilauli]

So yeah, I want to filter by what variation a unit has.

https://wiki.wesnoth.org/StandardUnitFilter
Based on this wiki page (which identifies "variation" as an optional field for the standard unit filter), I wrote something that I thought should work. Here are relevant snippets:

Code: Select all

[variation]
    variation_id=pale_green
    variation_name=_"pale green"
    inherit=yes
    image=units/monsters/burrower.png~PAL({BURW_COL_BRIGHT_GREEN}>{BURW_COL_PALE_GREEN})
[/variation]

Code: Select all

[modify_unit]
    [filter]
        type=Burrower
        variation=pale_green
    [/filter]
    [effect]
        apply_to=image_mod
        add=PAL({BURW_COL_BRIGHT_GREEN}>{BURW_COL_PALE_GREEN})
    [/effect]
[/modify_unit]

It doesn't work.

If I remove the "variation=pale_green" piece of the filter (or if I change it to an invalid thing like "blahblah=pale_green"), then all burrowers will get the palette-swap. But when I include a variation filter, then none of the burrowers get the palette-swap, not even the ones where their unit descriptions identify them as the pale green variation.

I'm on 1.15.4, in case that matters.

So, since this doesn't work, how can I filter by what variation a unit has?

i don't know but perhaps you're must write variation_id instead of variation in [filter]

[newfrenchy83]

in https://wiki.wesnoth.org/StandardUnitFilter , it is variation who is indicated, that must be working, i don't understand

[newfrenchy83]

you musns't be have that https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/comm ... 5d5d928b2e in your engine, this bugs is resolved in master but after 1.15.4 release. if you want resolve your problems now, you must compile the source code afeter download the master branch on github, else, await the 1.15.15 release

I think I will wait for 1.15.5 and see if that fixes it. Thank you!

EDIT: Okay, I found a different way to do what I was trying to do, so I don't need to filter by variation anymore.
I'll definitely test whether it works when 1.15.5 comes out, though. For science. Or something like that.
Thanks again!
