Units in map editor and recruit list

[richardsimon]

Hello,
I have two questions. How can I make placed units passive in map editor? When I assigned my recruit list and went in game, I was able to recruit orcs even though I didn't put orcs to my recall list. In other words: If I custom my recruit list, the game still gives me some nation. How can I fix this??

I don't think it's possible to do it with map editor. You'll have to edit scenario file and use WML or LUA (coding is required here).

Disregard previous reply.

You have to convert your map file to scenario. This is available in the top menu. Then you have to define sides in the map editor, you can also see it in the top menu tool bar. Then you can place units for that side on the map.

WHAAAT????!!!! I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!

So how does it work? Is it the same thing we do coding?

Code: Select all

{GENERIC_UNIT 1 EL_Clasher 35 27} {FACING nw}
{GENERIC_UNIT 2 EL_Striker 36 27} {FACING nw}

{CAPTURE_VILLAGES 1 35 28 8}

No, the output is raw WML. not macros.
I think there was a good amount of discussion on how people got an editable ScenarioWML file from the editor into a scenario CFG file. Sadly, nobody compiled to a medium article or a wiki page yet.
