Store a variable using [option] in [message]

I'm trying to allow a player to hand over gold to a unit which can then in turn hand that gold over to another player.

For that I'm using a right click menu prompt which contains the following code:

Code: Select all

				[store_side]
				side=$side_number
				variable=goldsendsidevar
				[/store_side]
				[message]
				speaker=unit
				message="How much Gold do you want to give to the Messenger?"
				side_for=$side_number
				wait_description="The turn player is reading or writing a message."
				[option]
				message="10 Gold"
				value=10
				[show_if]
				[variable]
				name=goldsendsidevar.gold
				greater_than_equal_to=10
				[/variable]
				[/show_if]
				[command]
					[gold]
						side=$side_number
						amount=-10
					[/gold]
				[/command]
				[/option]
				variable=goldinputvariable
				[command]
				[modify_unit]
					[filter]
						x,y=$x1,$y1
					[/filter]
					[variables]
						goldcarryvar=$goldinputvariable
					[/variables]
				[/modify_unit]
				{CLEAR_VARIABLE goldinputvariable}
				{CLEAR_VARIABLE goldsendsidevar}
				[/command]
				[/message]

This should theoretically allow a player to store the variable goldcarryvar inside the unit that is clicked on and give it the value 10.

Problem is, that's not what's happening. It simply doesn't store anything (checking with :inspect), but the player still loses the gold, meaning the command is firing as intended.

I tried putting the line
variable=goldinputvariable
inside the [option] tag, but that didn't work either.

Any help is appreciated.

I don't believe that [command] is a valid subtag of [message].

My campaign has command in a message and it works.

Code: Select all

					[message]
						speaker=narrator
						message= _ "Choose now:"	 		
						[option]
							message= _ "HARD"    	 		
							[command]
								[set_variable]
									name=skeletal_hand_variant
									value=no				
								[/set_variable]					
							[/command]
						[/option]
#						etc.

Well...I guess it works. I'm still playtesting. But I think it works.

[message][option][command] is intended - just [message][command] isn't.

Huh, you're right. Putting the the [command] tag inside the [option] tag works as intended.
Thanks.
