Unit Code Entrance?

[Ravenheart]

I'd like to cheat in Wesnoth. Well, sort of anyway. (I don't care what people might criticise me for, I've played Wesnoth long enough to allow myself a few sins )

A while back, god knows from where, I learned of a way to almost enter the coding of a certain unit, whilst in a game. It was some keyboard combination, can't remember what, and it allowed you to change stats like experience and hitpoints.

You hit the keyboard combination, and a dialogue box appears, and you had to type a certain code to change a certain thing (followed by it's value). It was very useful when stuck in a situation, and I'd like to know if anyone still knows where I can locate it? And what the codes etc. are?

Cheers, Raven.

to open the command line, type ":". That is, a colon.

Then the command is "unit attribute=value", then press Enter while mousing over the unit.

I am afraid that you are out of luck. All such knowledge was lost after the battle of Haral-Matlak when the Great Archives were burned to the ground by Orcish raiders and the ruins inhabited by a lich of great power. Alas, for there are no heros left who dare challenge his evil might and all knowledge of yore is lost.

Okay, I've got my command line on the screen, but the wiki is very confusing I find. I've tried to experiment but the command line does nothing to the unit.

Say if I wanted my unit's experience to go up to 23 from 0, can someone please tell me exactly what I would need to type, where my mouse would be, if I have to select the unit etc.

type :
type unit experience=23
have your mouse over the desired unit
press enter

They're forgetting to mention that you need to enter debug mode first.

To do so, bring up the command line by typing a colon, and then type:

debug


THEN all those unit attribute commands will work, and you'll also notice that your contextual menus have a few additional options (such as creating units, and changing the side a unit is on).

To turn off debug mode, enter the command:

nodebug


Note: using debug mode to change something in a (network) multiplayer game will ruin that match, because the things you're changing don't change on the opposite side, and the game will rapidly get out-of-sync. Debug mode is for single-player games, only.
