Werewolves that change at night.

[Larceny]

For starters, I'm somehow stupid and thusly cannot publish my era. Not that it works, which is why I'm here.
Without further ado, here's the code:

BTW: It works aside from not being able to store the original loyalist/werefolk unit, which results in a total die-off at dawn.

Code: Select all

[event] #this is the transformations
name=new_turn

first_time_only=no

        [store_time_of_day]
            variable=time_of_day
        [/store_time_of_day]

 [switch]
    variable=time_of_day.lawful_bonus # I use lawful bonus 'cuz it works
    [case]
       value=25 # If it's day...
    [store_unit]
        [filter]
		race=werefolk
		type=Beta,Husky,Alpha,Darkwolfe # and you are in werewolf form now...
        [/filter]

        variable=MODIFY_UNIT_store # we store you.
        kill=yes
    [/store_unit]

    {FOREACH MODIFY_UNIT_store MODIFY_UNIT_i}
        [set_variable]
            name=MODIFY_UNIT_store[$MODIFY_UNIT_i].variables.wereform.hitpoints # here I attempt to set the new form's HP proportionally to the original's. It's buggy, but it's the least of my worries right now, since it's rather spotty, too.
            value=$($MODIFY_UNIT_store[$MODIFY_UNIT_i].variables.wereform.max_hitpoints|/$MODIFY_UNIT_store[$MODIFY_UNIT_i].max_hitpoints|*$MODIFY_UNIT_store[$MODIFY_UNIT_i].hitpoints|)
        [/set_variable]
        [set_variable] # this is the crux of the affair. I cannot set the stored unit within the stored unit to store a unit.
            name=MODIFY_UNIT_store[$MODIFY_UNIT_i].variables.wereform.variables.wereform

Doesn't one of the mainline campaigns do this? Liberty, I think? Sorry I don't remember which scenario, but I think it uses a non-standard "death-squire" or something like that. The Loyalists turn undead at night, then they turn human in daytime. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

[Boldek]

the scenario 'unlawful orders' has a bunch of soldiers that become undead at sunset. third scenario in campaign liberty. probably best bet for your code.

[Larceny]

I know. I looked into that, but it's not what I want. They don't have separate units. My code allows for you to have a Peasant that turns level 3 at night, and have proportional health to go with, so you don't have a Peasant with >50 health. Which wouldn't make sense at all.

[zookeeper]

Code: Select all

        [set_variable] # this is the crux of the affair. I cannot set the stored unit within the stored unit to store a unit.
            name=MODIFY_UNIT_store[$MODIFY_UNIT_i].variables.wereform.variables.wereform
            value=$MODIFY_UNIT_store[$MODIFY_UNIT_i]|
        [/set_variable]

Ok, a couple of misunderstandings here. Firstly, keys (such as value=) can only take string values. $MODIFY_UNIT_store[$MODIFY_UNIT_i]| cannot resolve to a string, because that variable reference is pointing to a whole tag, not another key. Doing that is, for all intents and purposes, always wrong. Secondly, [set_variable] cannot copy around whole tags anyway, for that you need [set_variables]:

Code: Select all

        [set_variables]
            name=MODIFY_UNIT_store[$MODIFY_UNIT_i].variables.wereform.variables.wereform
            to_variable=MODIFY_UNIT_store[$MODIFY_UNIT_i] # note the missing $ and the confusingly-named to_variable key
        [/set_variables]

[Larceny]

COOL! Thanks. It works now. But the hp is still doing weird things.

EDIT: Well, everything works now. I figured it out on my own. WML division (either that or my storing and modifying hitpoints directly) made it so there was no decimal places. So, I just put the division last.

If you want the completed code, ask. Else I won't bother.

EDIT: Era is on server (at least for 1.8 [shtupid emoticons]) just search for werewol no other mod applies.

I ported this from Wesnoth 1.8 to 1.14/16. Just a quick job buuuut I decided to fiddle with it a little and bam:

NEW & IMPROVED! (What is this? Laundry detergent? Maybe the werewolves got a nice shampooing.) :)
The crappy werewolf sprites have been replaced. (and shampooed)
The night is shorter. (dawn is no longer were-time although it might be Miller-time if you survived the night)
I've worked on this some and the newly added 'Default Werewolf Era' might be balanced. They only get level 0 humans as recruits and a level 1 leader. Costs have been adjusted. Now they are very weak in the day and still monsters at night.
The old era is still there for those with a need to ruthlessly savage some victims, hehehe. Well the victims are now from AoH so they might resist a few seconds longer. <wide grin>

[Atreides]

Ported to 1.18.

Interesting note: The core loyalist swordsman has new sprites but has lost the Indian Jones-esque sword twirling idle animation. I've kept the original sprite set for those afflicted with Lycanthropy. Old stats (1.8?) too of course.
