halo disappears during movement

[Helmet]

In my scenario, a mermaid initiate is caught in a net and dragged onto land. The net is a halo effect added to the mermaid via modify_unit. The problem is, the net disappears during the mermaid's movement, then reappears when she stops. I would like the net to not disappear, but glide along with her, much like the Mage of Light's halo effect.

How do I do that? Thanks.

EDIT: I'm on 1.15.7, just in case it's a bug. Somebody suggested it may be a bug, but I don't know.

Code: Select all

		[modify_unit]
			[filter]
				id=Finya
			[/filter]
			[effect]
				apply_to=halo
				halo=halo/net.png
			[/effect]
		[/modify_unit]
		[move_unit]
			id=Finya
			to_x=6
			to_y=4
		[/move_unit]

Tried this. Same result.

Any ideas?

Code: Select all

		[store_unit]
			[filter]
				id=Finya
			[/filter]
			variable=target_finya
		[/store_unit]

		[set_variable]
			name=target_finya.halo
			value="halo/net.png"
		[/set_variable]

		[unstore_unit]
			variable=target_finya
			find_vacant=no
		[/unstore_unit]

I checked in 1.14, and it's the same. Apparently WML added halos (so the ones that are not directly in [unit_type]) are not rendered when the unit is moved by WML actions. Looks like a bug to me.

Thank you! I was perplexed.

For the cut-scene, I'll make a similar mermaid [unit_type] with a net halo. That should work.

I'll report the bug.
