Why doesn't this work

[Ranger M]

I've checked all over this, and looked at examples of how other poeple have used it, but I just don't get why this isn't working:

Code: Select all

#textdomain wesnoth-Invasion_of_Arendia
#define DEATHS_IOA
	[event]
	name=die
		[filter]
		description=Reth
		[/filter]
		[message]
		speaker=unit
		message= _ "I... I don't think I can make it anymore."
		[/message]
		[endlevel]
		result=defeat
		[/endlevel]
	[/event]

	name=die

		[/message]

	[/event]

	[event]
	name=die

		message= _ "Reoed, help me, I'm dieing!"
		[/message]
		[message]

		[/message]
		[endlevel]
		result=defeat

	[/event]

		[/message]

	[/event]

	[event]

		[/message]
		[endlevel]
		result=defeat

		message= _ "Matt! no don't die, I can't live without my other half."
		[/message]
		[endlevel]

	[/event]

	[event]
	name=die

		speaker=unit
		message= _ "For the Sidhe!"
		[/message]
		[endlevel]
		result=defeat
		[/endlevel]
	[/event]
#enddef

and the code I used to add it to the scenario (with loads edited out, to make for easier reading):

Code: Select all

[scenario]
{DEATHS_IOA}
[/scenario]

I also referenced it and the file that it's in in the Invasion_of_Arendia file (also with tons edited out):

Code: Select all

#ifdef CAMPAIGN_INVASION_OF_ARENDIA
[+units]
   {@campaigns/Invasion_of_Arendia/units/arendian_units}
   {@campaigns/Invasion_of_Arendia/units/elemental_units}
   {@campaigns/Invasion_of_Arendia/units/hoard}
   {@campaigns/Invasion_of_Arendia/units/human}
   {@campaigns/Invasion_of_Arendia/units/nagas}
   {@campaigns/Invasion_of_Arendia/units/wild_elves}
[/units]

{@campaigns/Invasion_of_Arendia/units}
{@campaigns/Invasion_of_Arendia/images}
{@campaigns/Invasion_of_Arendia/scenarios}
{@campaigns/Invasion_of_Arendia/utils/deaths.cfg}
{@campaigns/Invasion_of_Arendia/utils}
#endif

Help please (this is why I never used custom macros before, but I thoughth that doing the death events would be an easy, non essential way of practicing, and saving space in the scenario files.[/code]

Try switching the places of these two:

Code: Select all

{@campaigns/Invasion_of_Arendia/scenarios}
{@campaigns/Invasion_of_Arendia/utils/deaths.cfg}

...so that deaths.cfg will get included before the scenarios (and, if that solves the issue, naturally make the other utils be included before the scenarios as well).

[Ranger M]

Thanks, that worked.

I really wish I had known that earlier, because it explains much.

A macro should always be defined before the place where it needs to be used. wiki/PreprocessorRef
