Add new effects on a max level troop

[tido61037]

Recently, i want to make changes to the script to add new effects to the (advances_to=null) troops. It's changed successfully with simpler effects like hp, mp, abilities... you name it. But it's not working with the effect types like: weapond specials, increase the number in resistances. Though, i tried many keyword to the (apply_to=...) to add those new effects but it won't work. Can someone show me a way to do that ? Please!
Currently, im using TBFW 1.15.18 version
Here is a script that i modified for an example

Code: Select all

Moved to the WML Workshop.

Also I'd suggest posting your current code.

[vghetto]

This should do the job.

Code: Select all

                [object]
                    [effect]
                        apply_to=new_advancement
                        [advancement]

I think you can find examples of a customized amlas in UtBS. There are plenty of other examples in the addons. The mod Colosseum comes to mind.

Why there is a [object] in the script while this code involving in a unit advancement ? Anyway, i'll try that thanks.

The WML Workshop is the sub-forum where WML-related questions go. You originally posed this to the User's forum, Pentarctagon just noted that they moved your topic to where it's supposed to be.

You need an [object] tag if you want to apply the new advancement option to an already existing unit, during a game.
I think you want to directly edit the [unit_type] of a unit, so you don't have to use an [object] tag there.
About what is accepted in the apply_to key, refer to the EffectWML wiki: https://wiki.wesnoth.org/EffectWML
