Noob questions at creating multiplayer map

Slann · Post by **Slann** » April 23rd, 2011, 7:36 pm

Hi everyone. I have some experience at developling. Recently i decided to go deep on WML, so i began to program my own multiplayer map, taking into account some maps that i played before.

As there are no tutorials, only the wml reference page, i make some mistakes and i need help for fixing my mistakes.

This is what i have at the moment.

Code: Select all

[multiplayer]
    id=Infiltration
    name= _ "Infiltration"
    map_data="{~add-ons/infiltration/map/infiltration_map}"

When i play this map, i get this error.

Then, when i pass for side 2's turn, it gives the "lose game" message.

Based on the lua error message you got and the tag it relates to I'm guessing that comma-separated list for [objectives]side= is not allowed.

Slann · Post by **Slann** » April 23rd, 2011, 10:25 pm

Thank you. I noticed that correct tag was "side_for" and not side. And side_for is used for [messages], not by objetives. Is there a way to show differents objetives to each team?

And still, each time i pass turn, the game finish as i lose it.

turns="unlimited" -> turns=-1

Slann · Post by **Slann** » April 23rd, 2011, 11:06 pm

Doesnt work. Also tried with
turns=-1
turn_at=1

But nothing

.

monochromatic · Post by **monochromatic** » April 23rd, 2011, 11:57 pm

Also, side[0].canrecruit must be set to yes. That's why. Also with turns=-1.

<3 now i can continua. Thank you sir.

On a different topic, I want to set time map to night each time. But i cannot do this (I know there is a tag called [time], but even comparing to others map).

it is explained here: http://wiki.wesnoth.org/BuildingScenariosSimple

Now my noob question

I just read alot on the code of wesnoth because Im trying to make an SX. Can anybody tell me where I could find finished code on some SX maps as examples?

thanks alot, Ruben

shoudent you do event that:
[objectives]
side=2
[objective]
description= _ "Enter the Central Palace"
condition=win
[/objective]
[objective]
description= _ "Death of Aerius"
condition=lose
[/objective]

{TURNS_RUN_OUT}
[/objectives]

but then also this: [event]
name=last breath
[filter]
id=thief
[/filter]
[message]
speaker=unit
message= _ "i lost!"
[/message]
[endlevel]
result=defeat
[/endlevel]
[/event]

you only got objectives but add the last code i post also that game knows also that if thief dies he loses.

Generally speaking, yes. One should put according code ([event]s) which implement the defeat/loss conditions shown.
However, the engine checks for whether a side has left a leader alive and if not, ends the game with loss for that side. It may not happem immediately however.

Aah thanks man, i got it.

EDIT: some more question. I want to specify which unit does a side start with. So, for example, set side 1 leader to be a Bandit. And i want to disable the posibility of recruit. How can i do this ?

side.canrecruit=yes side.type= (omit side.recruit). SideWML

[switch] structure:

Code: Select all

[switch]
    variable=VARIABLE_NAME
    [case]
        value=POSSIBLE_VALUE
        [command]
            ActionWML
        [/command]
    [/case]
[/switch]
