Campaign won't start

[matsjoyce]

Hello,

I've been trying to make a campaign which you go jousting and it worked until I added a third side as spectators. After I did the that it wouldn't load. It loaded other campaigns but always crashed with mine. I've tried removing the third side but that didn't help.

You should post your campaign here (archive the campaign dir as a .zip file and upload it here as an attachment), or we can only guess. And that's quite impossible, because you could have done a lot wrong.

I've tried uploading it as a .zip and as a .tar.gz and nothing happens.

Hard to imagine nothing at all happens. Did you click the button that says "add the file"?

[matsjoyce]

Yes, I did and at the bottom it says "uploading 1%" and it goes up to 100% and then when I post the message it isn't there.

[boru]

Yes, I did and at the bottom it says "uploading 1%" and it goes up to 100% and then when I post the message it isn't there.

Okay, if that happens more than once, you need to contact a forum mod or the admin.

O.K. I have established that the max file size is 2MB so I deleted some unneeded things so here it is.

[Ceres]

a) don't put whitespaces in filenames
b) SIR_BORIS isn't defined anywhere

[Pentarctagon]

b) SIR_BORIS isn't defined anywhere

Which is, ironically, exactly what the error message said.

[matsjoyce]

I found a space in one of the file names and deleting it seemed to help.

I had an idea of having the lance weapon of the knights attack value go down each time you attack and I came up with the following code:

Code: Select all

  
 #define INITIALIZE_SCENARIO_VARIABLES
	{VARIABLE Mlance -2}
	{VARIABLE Blance -2}
 #enddef
 #define CLEAR_SCENARIO_VARIABLES
	{CLEAR_VARIABLE Mlance}
	{CLEAR_VARIABLE Blance}
 #enddef  [side]
        type="Knight"
        id="Sir_Miles"
        canrecruit=yes
        name=_"Sir Miles"
        unrenamable=yes
        side=1
        controller=human
        {GOLD 0 0 0}
        income=0
        team_name="Sir_Miles"
        user_team_name=_"Sir_Miles"
        fog=no
        shroud=no
        recruit=""
            [modifications]
                [object]
                    [effect]
                        apply_to=attack
                        type=pierce
                        increase_damage=$Mlance
                    [/effect]
                [/object]
            [/modifications]
		
    [/side]
 [event]
       name=attack
        first_time_only=no
        [filter]
            id=Sir_Miles
        [/filter]
        [filter_second]
            hits=yes
        [/filter_second]
        [set_variable]
            name=Mlance
            add=-2
        [/set_variable]
    [/event]

But it doesn't work completely and as I haven't worked with variables I need help.

[Max]

Code: Select all

[filter_second]
    hits=yes
[/filter_second]

don't invent stuff, look it up in the wiki: http://wiki.wesnoth.org/EventWML

[zookeeper]

Code: Select all

increase_damage=$Mlance

That makes it use the value of Mlance, but once once when the scenario starts. When the sides are initialized, it'll increase damage by whatever value Mlance happens to have at that time, that is it won't change if you later change the value of Mlance.

[matsjoyce]

Max:
So you would do that like this?

Code: Select all

[event]
       name=attack
        first_time_only=no
        [filter]
            id=Sir_Miles
        [/filter]
       [filter_attack]
       damage=1-99
       [/filter_attack]
        [set_variable]
            name=Mlance
            add=-2
        [/set_variable]
    [/event]

zookeeper:
Umm, how could you do it then? I've never used vars before...

[Ceres]

No.
You want an attacker hits event.

Umm, how could you do it then? I've never used vars before...

You have to modify the unit itself every time it hits, not only the variable.
