How to "Blacklist" a unit from being the speaker in the message tag ?
Hello everyone, i'm trying to write dialogue and i want any unit from the given side to speak EXCEPT for the leaders.
The scenario has 2 player controlled sides so i want units from both side 1 and side 2 to be able to trigger the dialogue. However i don't want the leaders to speak, for exemple :
I know this code doesn't xork as the leaders pass the side standard unit filter so i tried a bunch of stuff (use of the [not] tag, flagging the leaders with [filter_second] and putting speaker=unit so that the "primary" unit would speak i combined a bunch of things and can only have 2 results :
-the message doesn't show up
-the leaders speak
Same thing wiith a sighted event where the sighted ennemy is the one speaking
So my question is, how do i "blacklist" a specific unit id, side, unit type and others from speaking ?

Code: Select all
[message]
side=1
message=_ "Masters, i sense the presence of dwarves. We are not strong enough to take their forteress yet, we should try to sneak past them to find another exit"
[/message]
[message]
side=2
message=_ "Yes, dwarves were always a problem even for the previous master..."
[/message]
[message]
speaker=Vlad_Overlord
message=_ "Allright, let's head for that tunnel over there !"
[/message]
[scroll_to]
x,y=21,3
[/scroll_to]
[message]
speaker=narrator
message=_ ""
[/message]
[message]
speaker=Talzin_Overlord
message=_ "Yes! I wonder if these old stories about abandonned mining tunnel were true... I heard a lot were sealed poorly, maybe there's something to be done with them..."
[/message]
