Zone of Control

[Wecth]

Anyone know how to increase zones of control. For example if I wanted an unit to have a radius 2 zone of control how would I go about doing it.

Dont think it's possible

Code: Select all

zoc: if "yes" the unit will have a zone of control regardless of level. If present but set to anything other than "yes," the unit will have no zone of control. If the tag is omitted, zone of control is dictated by unit level (level 0 = no zoc, level 1+ = has zoc).

With events everything is possible

how would I go about doing it

There is more than one way, but this is how I would do it. I would put an enter_hex event in this unit's [unit_type] tag. This is what the event would do:

• store_locations that are two hexes away from enemy units of this type
• use find_in to see if the moving unit has entered one of those hexes
• if yes, set the moving unit's movement points to zero
• [allow_undo][/allow_undo] (Don't forget this or undo will always be blocked if one of these units is on the screen.)

Code following this idea could be sped up a lot by moving the store_locations to a separate event that is not called so often, but this is how I would start.

Hopefully, that answers the question.
