The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

According to pop culture, the media, and anyone in marketing, if a power cord is involved it's "Using AI!", just as saving the cat pictures you take with your phone to someone else's storage is "cloud computing". It's been 30 years now since my Intro to AI class. I wonder if we'r...

Code: Select all

unit.attacks[#unit.attacks] = { name = 'new attack', range = 'melee', damage = 4, number = 3 }

Wouldn't that replace the last one? I'd think for lua you'd need #unit.attacks+1

If a unit has a lot of attacks and/or specials, they don't fit on the sidebar. My first thought was to, when necessary, add a couple small up/down buttons at the bottom so the player could scroll through and see all of the attacks (a scrollbar would take up valuable horizontal space, while the space...

I think by "count with" you mean "take into account". For example, if you create your own status that is like poison (harms a unit, needs to be cured by village/healer), how do you make the AI understand that the unit now needs to get cured? You don't, though you might look at ht...

I heard that according to the poll, the battlerager isn't very popular. I love them. Give this guy the right book, a few potions, a special limited item, and maybe craft a certain axe and he'd be pretty tough. I didn't really build him out to be the ultimate stud, at some point there's not much poin...

Hey, I suddenly got the urge to play Battle For Wesnoth after 3 or 4 years of not playing it, and I remembered about this add-on campaign that I enjoyed so much. After downloading the game and installing it, I proceeded to look for the Invasion from the Unknown add-on (as well as the sequel After t...

At the beginning of the attack and every attacker_hits/defender_hits, check the number of adjacent units and adjust the damage accordingly.
(or something close to that)

inside [abilities][damage] ? (not [ability]). You MIGHT be able to use [filter_adjacent] https://wiki.wesnoth.org/AbilitiesWML#Common_keys_and_tags_for_every_weapon_special if you're looking to do something specific like unit is adjacent to exactly one enemy. I don't know what you're trying to do, b...

WFL? You couldn't just use [store_unit] and a filter to store them to an array and then take its length?

im still having trouble loading the lua package... Adjust this to match your scenario/file: [lua] code=<< wesnoth.dofile("~add-ons/Legend_of_the_Invincibles/lua/effects.lua") >> [/lua] Then, since the function is wml_actions.give_fight_xp, just [give_fight_xp] attacker = foo # or leave bl...

His face accounts for about 20-25% of his height. It looks right in proportion to his arms, I think it's the legs that don't look right to me. It's as if his knees connect to his waist, with no thighs in between. But perhaps he's just hunched over? He seems to be leaning slightly forward, but not en...

pango_layout_get_pixel_size does look promising. I guessed that I'd put the message into a pango layout, query the size, and then use that to adjust the rect dimensions. I totally failed at that, unfortunately. One day, but right now not so much.

That starts off sounding a lot like Trader: Strange Legacy, when played in RPG mode. I don't think it's what you are looking to do, but it's certainly worth looking at:

turn_number is not a filter, so it runs once on turn 1 and then never again.
