How to do event that spawns units and then units speak?

[alluton]

okey so lets say two peasant spawn to the game and then they say something and then my leader answers to them.

So how to do it?

ps. i tried to copy somekind of thing from under burning sun but cannot make it work:(

use http://wiki.wesnoth.org/SingleUnitWML in http://wiki.wesnoth.org/ScenarioWML and then http://wiki.wesnoth.org/InterfaceActionsWML.

[alluton]

[event]
name=turn 4
[fire_event]
name=Peasants
[/fire_event]
[/event]

[event]
name=Peasants
type=Peasant
side=1
x,y=1,1
experience=15
[/event]

what goes wrong whit this one?

Most of those tags in the second event don't go inside of [event]. You want [unit], which is in the first link Dixie gave.

[Dixie]

Yeah, basically you use an event to create the units (which are defined into an [unit] tag), and then, in the same event, you can make them speak with Interface Actions. You can make them move about and stuff too if you look at Direct Actions WML in the wiki.

And by the way, you probably don't need that fire event stuff. Just put everything into your "name=turn 4" event.

Code: Select all

[event]
    name=turn 4
    {NAMED_GENERIC_UNIT 1 (Peasant) 1 1 (Peasants) ( _ "Peasants")}
    [message]
        speaker=Peasants
        message= _ "The macro above explained: NAMED_GENERIC_UNIT side (type) x y (id) ( _ 'name')"
    [/message]
[/event]

Another way

[event]
    name=turn 4
    {NAMED_GENERIC_UNIT 1 (Peasant) 1 1 (Peasants) ( _ "Peasants")}
    [message]
        speaker=Peasants
        message= _ "The macro above explained: NAMED_GENERIC_UNIT side (type) x y (id) ( _ 'name')"
    [/message]
[/event]

Well, of course there's that macro, but I think it's more profitable for him to do it the longer way, so he learns WML a bit. It's always helpful to know what is thw whole spectrum of your options, not just the simplified macros

[alluton]

Well thank you you both. Hopefully soveireign macro does it:D
ps. thnx for trying to teach me dixie:D

actually unit spawsn right but i dont see it says any message

use http://wiki.wesnoth.org/SingleUnitWML in http://wiki.wesnoth.org/ScenarioWML and then http://wiki.wesnoth.org/InterfaceActionsWML.

Done the interface action right? Read it carefully, it's pretty straightforward and understandable.
