Blueknights Questions

Yes. Also, you can call it anything you want, e.g. [wolf_frame].[1]

[blueknight1758]

Ok I'll get experimenting with all of this.

[blueknight1758]

Ok I'm back with two question that are vital to the campaign I'm producing.
A: Is it possible to make a functional boat? ie. A unit can get on the boat and then travel over deep water?
B: can a side have more than one person able to recruit? Or even better certain units 'General' can recruit units for their side?

[powershot]

To the second one, yes. Use the canrecruit=yes tag. Works like a charm.

[Pentarctagon]

The answer to both is yes, actually.

[blueknight1758]

So how would you make the functional boat? I'm assuming it would be complicated and involve events?
Although thinking about it would it be easier to make a 'harbor' village and if a unit is on their at the start of their turn they can 'teleport' to other harbor villages as if they traveled their by boat?

[powershot]

You can use the [tunnel] tag if you want to do that.

[mattsc]

It does involve events, but it's not that complicated. Here's one way:

- When the unit moves to a hex next to the boat, store_unit (with kill=yes). This can be triggered, for example, by a moveto event.
- move_unit_fake from unit hex to boat hex
- Move the boat (as a normal unit) to wherever you want it
- When you want to unload (can be triggered by all kinds of events: moveto, menu selection, ...): move_unit_fake from boat hex to hex next to it
- unstore_unit

Hope this helps.

[Ceres]

If you don't want to make the unit move on/off the boat automatically: [set_menu_item] is your friend.

[matsjoyce]

I think that there is a code from dwarven kingdoms that did something like that...

[blueknight1758]

And here's another question, could an attack ability be made where the hex that is attacked if it's a man made hex it gets reduced to rubble?

[lipk]

I'm not really familiar with abilities, but you can implement that quite easily with events.

Code: Select all

[event]
  name=attack
  first_time_only=no
  [filter]
    type=Catapult
  [/filter]
  [filter_second]
    [filter_location]
      terrain=Ch            #human castle
    [/filter_location]
  [/filter_second]

  {MODIFY_TERRAIN Rb^Dr $second_unit.x $second_unit.y}
  [redraw][/redraw]
[/event]

[blueknight1758]

Thank you for the code... but do I put it in the [unit_type] tag or somewhere else?

EDIT: Also as another ability could you filter a unit raceand then double the damage against that race?
and is their a specific tag i can use to remove a unit from the recall list?

[8680]

Also as another ability could you filter a unit raceand then double the damage against that race?

Code: Select all

[damage]
	id="????"
	name=_"????"
	name_inactive=_"????" ## should be the same as name=
	description=_"????"
	description_inactive=_"????" ## should be the same as description=
	multiply=2
	apply_to="self"
	[filter_opponent]
		race="????"
	[/filter_opponent]
[/damage]

and is their a specific tag i can use to remove a unit from the recall list?

Code: Select all

[kill]
	id="????"
	x="recall"
	y="recall"
[/kill]

For a scenario i'm developing for my campaign you have to find a mage in a village on the map (He appears when your on his village tile.) the trouble is I only know how to code so he's at a certain village and i was hoping you guys could help me learn how to code it so he could be at either the co-ordinates 5,7 9,6 or 10,4.

I would like this code to add some more unknown about the campaign as wellas give it the most unique experience possible.
