Adding Xp as an Event

[turin]

i have a problem with one of the scenarios i am making. i want to make it so that every time you get in combat or kill someone, you get double experience. i also want you to get xp when something else happens. is there a way to give a unit xp during an eveny, such as:

[effect]
experience=+8
[/effect]

specifying what unit recieves the xp and how much is recieved. is there any way to do this?

There is currently no way to do this.

We may have a modifier that allows you to specify that all units in a scenario get more experience sometime in the future.

Greetings. I hope I am not resurrecting a thread whereas the same topic has been discussed elsewhere (the searches I made all led here).

I was interested in the experience issue, for I think one character might gain experience not only during fights, but also when performing some other "task", such as finding secret passage, finding treasures, disarming traps, etc.

I have written the following macro to add experience to a character at a given location (to associate it to a "moveto" event) :

Code: Select all

#define ADD_XP X Y AMOUNT
	[store_unit]
		[filter]
			x={X}
			y={Y}
		[/filter]
		variable="stored_unit"
	[/store_unit]
	[set_variable]
		name=stored_unit.experience
		add={AMOUNT}
	[/set_variable]
	[unstore_unit]
		variable="stored_unit"
	[/unstore_unit]
#enddef

It works fine, but now I'm facing a trap in the experience adding stuff : this code does not trigger the advancement condition.

I've explored a few pists to perform this operation "manually", without success so far. I may have missed something, but is it possible to retrieve the experience attribute from a <unit>.cfg file ? Or to trigger the advancement in a cleaner way ?

Thank you in advance for any contribution.
