Campaign won't start

[matsjoyce]

I did that but the ai does not go back to its starting position.

[matsjoyce]

Could you do a move unit like code but the ai only does that like when it has enough moves to do that?

[matsjoyce]

Is the leader of a side the one that can recruit?

[Crendgrim]

Yes.
Actually, it is even possible to have multiple leaders; but you're right that each leader (and only the leader(s)) is able to recruit units (if you allow him to do so, of course).

He is on 1.8 though.

[Elvish_Hunter]

He is on 1.8 though.

Actually, on 1.8 I had one scenario of TSoG with two leaders. Support for multiple leaders was enabled during the 1.7 development cycle.

[matsjoyce]

So if I had Sir Boris (who can't recruit because otherwise he won't attack) would not obey leader goals? If so, how could I get the ai to move him to get a new lance?
And just to be inquisitive, if there is more than one leader, will the ai move all the leaders the the leader goal or just one?

Uh-oh, you are right.
My memory was that having two leaders in the same side got a defeated condition. It was probably on before 1.7.15... (I just tested it on 1.7.15.)
Excuse me, Crendgrim.

I tried

Code: Select all

 [event]
           name=attacker hits
            first_time_only=no
            [filter]
                id=Sir_Boris
            [/filter]
	    [filter_attack]
	      name=lance
	    [/filter_attack]
		[set_variable]
		    name=lanceb
		    rand="0..2"
		[/set_variable]
		[if]
		    [variable]
			name=lanceb
			greater_than=0
		    [/variable]
		    [then]
		      [object]
		      silent=yes
			[effect]
			  apply_to=remove_attacks
			  type=pierce
			[/effect]
		      [/object]
		      [message]
			id=Sir_Boris
			message=_"Aw, my lance has snapped."
		      [/message]
		      [store_unit] #to stop the unit attack
			  [filter]
			    id=Sir_Boris
			  [/filter]
			  variable=stored_sir_boris
			  kill=yes
		      [/store_unit]
		      [unstore_unit]
			  variable=stored_sir_boris
		      [/unstore_unit]
		      [modify_side]
			  side=2
{TARGET_LOCATION_J 2 18 5 -100.0}
		      [/modify_side]
		    [/then]
		    [else]
		    [/else]
		[/if]
        [/event]

and the macro is

Code: Select all

#define TARGET_LOCATION_J X Y VALUE VALUE_AGGESSION
[goal]
  name=target_location
  [criteria]
    x={X}
    y={Y}
  [/criteria]
  value={VALUE}
[/goal]
[aspect]
        id=aggression
        [facet]
            id="always"
            value={VALUE}
        [/facet]
    [/aspect]
#enddef

but Sir Boris still doesn't go to the starting position.

[Crendgrim]

Can [url=http://wiki.wesnoth.org/DirectActionsWML#.5Bmodify_side.5D][modify_side][/url] have the subtags goal or aspect? No. So, look again at the wiki how it should be done.

[matsjoyce]

How can you have a non-leader (one for all units) than? All that is there is leader goal and Sir Boris isn't a leader.

[Crendgrim]

I have no idea whether this works, but I would try to use [modify_unit] and set goto_x= and goto_y= to the location where Sir Boris should return to.


Crend

[matsjoyce]

Would

Code: Select all

[event]
name=side 2 turn $turnattack 

actuly start the event or can't you use vars in event names?

[Pentarctagon]

Test it out yourself. You should post for help if you can't figure something out, not for every question you have.

[matsjoyce]

I did try it out and it doesn't work. I came up with this but it doesn't work either. What it's supposed to do is at the start of side 2 turn check if the lanceb var is greater than 0 (which if it is, it means that Sir Boris's lance has snapped) and if it is, then move him to 2,18 and set his moves to 0.
