The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I think a talented programmer could handle it easily. I don't think this is true. Flags are set in the [side] tag. You can use [modify_side] to change the flag during the scenario, but presumably, that would do the same thing: change them for the whole side. Allowing two flags on the same side woul...

No, the posted code was correct. Don't swap it. In a "sighted" event, the primary unit (stored in the unit variable) is the unit that just got seen. The secondary unit (stored in the variable second_unit ) is the unit who did the seeing. It sounds like you put the wrong speaker in [message].

There is also [have_location]. Used with owner_side and x,y coordinates, that would check for village ownership.

You seem to be unaware that you are working with an API . Every Lua gui command was specifically written and enabled by the game engine's developers. They added those commands as they needed them to build the game engine. You can't just assume that it must do any other thing you can imagine. All the...

I don't know how to change the background of a dialog box at the moment either. Are you asking this because you have a dialog that works the way you want, and the background is the last part you need to fix? Or, are you asking about step eight when you haven't completed step one yet? I think the sec...

I thought you meant "whiter", but you meant "wider". No, I can't see how there could be a way to do that. Obviously, I don't know for sure which Lua function you should use for the effect you want. Maybe you could read the wiki pages. This is the page on the gui commands for exam...

I already answered this: gui.show_dialog and gui.show_prompt.

ZombieKnight wrote: ↑April 2nd, 2024, 5:46 pm Can I make [message] text wighter?

You can use Pango markup to change the style of the text in a [message]. That includes the color.

Neither of these is possible as far as I know. However, you can make dialog boxes or put text in the center of the screen with Lua functions. There is gui.show_dialog , and gui.show_prompt . SotA uses both in zombie_recruit_dialog.lua , which is called from zombie-utils.cfg , so you have at least on...

How the hell can such a simple concept be so difficult to apply I think because you just barely know WML at this point. Most things are hard at the beginning. Trying to fix it myself, now The code you have posted is not something you can "fix". Almost every line needs to be erased and rew...

So part of the internal AI calculations removes a bunch of units for a millisecond, then puts them right back. I don't think unit_placed events should be triggered by that code. They will be triggered constantly at a time nobody expects. (See: this thread.) I would even say this is a bug, so it coul...

AFTER the refresh event, all the zombies disappear from the map and are placed again I tried it, and I see what you mean. There is nothing in the code you showed us that could cause this problem though. I even tried these events in one of my scenarios to make sure there wasn't some sort of engine b...

There is an add-on called "unitmarker" that allows you to put little icons on units. It sounds like you probably found the "Rename Unit" command.

And where's the problem? can't be right... wdym I would do that without a problem (if I could code) You are talking to people here who CAN code. We are telling you that some of the features you want would probably be too difficult to code, not interesting to play, or are not well-enough defined. Yo...

The way Wesnoth is written and the way the API works requires scenarios. Some UMC authors have been creative on how to move from one to another, like in Strange Legacy, but you always need to be in one. Removing turn limits is very easy to implement, but it requires changing the way gold and experie...

What you are describing is a completely different game. This is not a mode that can be tacked on to Wesnoth. It would require rewriting huge sections of the code to make something that works that differently.

Try out Civilization VI. It has a lot of the features you want.
