animated teleport in/out of recall list

...Tried again with the CORRECT animation and it seems to work OK, the unittype below works for me with the following code:[/b]

Holy moly, that is a clever mind-boggling solution, using a recruit animation. Thanks.

I've changed the WML for the Silver Mage so many times, I think my computer is about to run out of pixels.

This is pretty much identical to what I do in Black Cross of Aleron

I tried playing your campaign and I couldn't see anything before the animation, but then I made a screen recording and played it in slow motion...

Whoa! The unit blinked in and out!
Maybe the code for teleport animation has never worked as intended?

It is possible that a combination of the CPU power, the monitor's refresh rate, and the subjective vision of the eye results in one people see flickering and other people not.

What version of the game is that in?

That was 1.14.17.

That really is an ugly workaround…

Thought you'd appreciate it

This issue can be easily solved with a new [unhide_unit] code. The original [unhide_unit] code has a [redraw] tag in the end. So that's why the unit appear before displaying the animation; when it doesn't appear it's because your computer is absurdly fast. Below is a new code without the [redraw] tag.

Code: Select all

[lua]
        code = <<
function wesnoth.wml_actions.new_unhide_unit(cfg)
	for i,u in ipairs(wesnoth.units.find_on_map(cfg)) do
		u.hidden = false
	end
end
>>
    [/lua]

You just have to scroll the screen before unhiding it; otherwise the scroll will redraw the screen.

Code: Select all

[scroll_to]
	x= LOC X
	y= LOC Y
[/scroll_to]
[new_unhide_unit]
	id= UNIT
[/new_unhide_unit] #It won't redraw.
[animate_unit]
	#blah blah blah
	flag=post_teleport
[/animate_unit]

I'm using this on my campaign to teleport several units at once. If you're recall the unit, you have to hide it and then unhide again. The wiki says the [recall] tag uses the same attributes as [unit] tag. So hidden=yes should work fine! Recall it hidden, scroll, unhide (new code - without redraw) and animate.
