how can I make names for a specific unit type?

Nay, it has to be Horseman, otherwise nothing happens, except when a Knight advances.

Are you sure? Cause I just tested, and

Code: Select all

	    [event]
        name=post_advance
        first_time_only=no
   
        [filter]
            type=Knight
        [/filter]
   
        {VARIABLE unit.name "Sir $unit.name"}
   
        [unstore_unit]
            variable=unit
            find_vacant=no
        [/unstore_unit]
    [/event]

seems to work perfectly.

post advance
Triggers just after the primary unit has advanced to another unit.

So doing it this way makes more sense... the type=Horseman has advanced and is a type=Knight, and only then does the event trigger. Also, as mentioned, it works. This is also handy, since you don't have to deal with Lancers.

Also, the advance bug makes sense, sort of. Unstore_unit has an advance key. It defaults to true and tries to advance the unit if it has enough xp. So if you unstore a unit that has full experience, Wesnoth tries to advance it. Then, oh look, a unit is advancing! Trigger the advance event, which unstores the unit and advances it, which triggers the advance event, which...
Oddly, setting advance=false crashes Wesnoth.

What the heck was I doing all the time?! It works! But it seems to me that I could write that all the way in the beginning, and now I have the solution when I practically gave up! It's. So. SIMPLE!
