Enemy Leader appear one after another

[Kal_Ultor]

Hi,
How can I do the following:
All enemy Leader appear one after another. So: Player 1(human) kills Player 2, than Player 3 appears, after that is killed Player 4 and so on.

Code: Select all

Use no_leader=yes
The side definitions for all your sides that should appear later should look like:

Code: Select all

    [side]
       side=3
       controller=ai
       no_leader=yes
       team_name="bad3"
       user_team_name= _ "Bad Guys 3"
       recruit="Orcish Grunt, Orcish Archer, Orcish Assassin, Wolf Rider, Goblin Spearman"
       gold=50
    [/side]

Then add an die [event] that creates the next leader when the first enemy-leader dies:

Code: Select all

       [event]
            name=die

            [filter]
                id=EnemyLeader2
            [/filter]

            [unit]
               id=EnemyLeader3
               name= _ "Rigro"
               type= "Goblin Knight"
               unrenamable=yes
               canrecruit=yes
               side=3
               x=
               y=   # add coordinates here
            [/unit]
        [/event]

Of course you have to do that for all sides.

Edit: added missing side=3

Thank you for your answer!
I must have made some mistake inserting the code. It starts correctly with me and the first enemy leader but after he is killed, I win instead of the next enemy leader being summend.
My code:

You need to add

Code: Select all

victory_when_enemies_defeated=no

to the scenario definition. Otherwise you always win when your enemy is defeated, and no other enemy is (already) on the map.

And also you have to trigger victory when the last enemy leader is defeated.

Code: Select all

	# add this in the die event of the last enemy
        [endlevel]
            result=victory
            bonus=no
            {NEW_GOLD_CARRYOVER 40}
        [/endlevel]

And you should add all events under the side definitions, sot between them, for better readability.

The created enemy leaders have no side defined, you have to add them, otherwise they will always be created as side=1 units

[Celtic_Minstrel]

While Straff's answer would work, I'm not sure it's necessary. First of all, did the second leader get spawned despite you getting a victory? If the answer is "no", then that's probably the issue right there, and you need to figure out why the die event didn't trigger. If the answer is "yes", try changing it to name=last breath instead of name=die.

[gfgtdf]

You shouldn't need no_leader=yes, no_leader is iirc only requited in Multiplayer games to prevent the multiplayer engine to add a leader from a multiplayer faction. victory_when_enemies_defeated=no shouldn't be necessary either because the engine only checks for a sides defeat after all events have been fired.

What you need is to specify the side when creating the unit.

[Celtic_Minstrel]

You need no_leader=yes when there is no leader specified directly in the side tag, otherwise the game will raise an error or something like that. I think it still works despite the error, but still.

It sounds like gfgtdf spotted the real issue – the die event needs to specify the side of the next leader.

[gfgtdf]

You need no_leader=yes when there is no leader specified directly in the side tag, otherwise the game will raise an error

This would be new to me, are you sure this is the case? I'm pretty sure it wasn't the case the last time I worked on that part of the code.


Actually i think no_leader is implemented as just an alias for leader_lock

[Celtic_Minstrel]

There are a bunch of places that deal with the no leader flag, but basically you're half right, in that it does set leader_lock to true. I can't find the check I was thinking of though, maybe it was removed? Isn't there a check somewhere about whether [side] has a type key?

There's also a TODO comment that suggests that no_leader should maybe be used more than it is. It actually looks really messy…

Well there is a check whether it has a type= key and if it has a type attribute ilt creates a unit. (Although i believe we should move towards using [leader] as the usual practice.)

There's also a TODO comment that suggests that no_leader should maybe be used more than it is. It actually looks really messy…

Hmm maybe the comment means what I said above (move towards [leader]). Although i would not think it's messy, it's basically "no type attribute"="create no leader", pretty simple to me, and no_leader=leader_lock

[Celtic_Minstrel]

no_leader=leader_lock

Although it is clearly the case at present, this doesn't make sense to me at all.

[gfgtdf]

Hmm well, if you know that all that no_leadsr does it to prevent the mo code from adding a leader then it makes a lot of sense to me. Basically no_leader= "don't change the specified leader (none)"

Thank you all for your help! It worked.
