Damage Events
I've been working on making damage events where if someone is standing in a particular place at a particular time, they become liable targets to said damage. I have come over a couple of road bumps though. Firstly, I do not see a way to randomly hit one unit and not another in the defined locations, or to hit some people, but not everybody, the damage is supposed to be 20dmg, but it keeps going, hitting the same unit over and over until all of the units in the defined space is dead.
Code: Select all
[event]
name=moveto
first_time_only=yes

x=40-50
y=14-50

Re: Damage Events
In my utils files, there is three kind of damages:
specific damage for random unit at random places at specific times,
random damage for random unit at specific places at random times,
random damage for random units (including yours) on random places at random times.
(their is also random resistance events for a specific unit)
note: random places doesn't return to normal so you need to add a clear_variable at your scenario if you want to limit the events to a predefined number of turns
everyone of them have its code.
all what you need is to change the setting or add/delet variables to maintain the frequency .
if you find what you need at you couldn't manipulate it correctly, you are free to ask

Re: Damage Events
Read this if you want to write it yourself.
What you needed to do in the [foreach] loop was to go through each location and harm the unit at that location only. Get that working first (because it's important to do things one step at a time). Then, set a random variable each time through the loop. Use another [if] to harm the unit only if the random number is in a certain range.
Also: You will need to have "first_time_only" set to "no" or the main [if] statement will only run one time. Another thing: I don't know what you intended [variable] to do inside [filter], but it's not valid there, so it's not doing anything.
You stored the locations that contain units, then for each of those locations, you harm every unit.
