Re: Pillage

Another example in scenario 2 of The South Guard. I've copied and commented the relevant event here for reference. [event] name=capture # Activates when a unit captures a village. first_time_only=no # Continues happening after the first time. [filter] # This will activate only when the capturing uni...

Re: 3D Printing Wesnoth figures?

I doubt there are very many, if any, 3D models of mainline units. If you look through the art threads, you will see people posting sketchy / unshaded WIP images and animations; it can be fun to follow them all the way through. There are also people who just post whatever their latest product is with...

Re: reference of last unit created

I haven't tested this but you could try using [animate_unit] to play a "recruited" animation.

Re: Journey Map Pin Error

Map journey? Is that the thing where there is a map in the "story" section that shows where the heroes are going? If so, you could try reading through the mainline campaigns to see how they do it nowadays. -- Looking at your error message, I suspect your problem might be that you have nega...

Re: can't recruit costum unit

oh, and another thing, the unit database seems rather dated, is there going to be an update soon? Not quite sure what about it you feel is dated. - The units in the database: you might be using an older version of the database (for example, from 1.10?) rather than for the most recent versions. http...

Re: Inky's Quest - The Cuttlefish Campaign

My pixelart skills are even worse than my coding skills, so for custom units in this campaign I had to rely on "frankensteining" existing sprites (in Master Sea Head's case I just enlarged and cropped the cuttlefish sprite). So unless someone volunteers to make a better sprite for me, it'...

Re: Knalgan Outlaws' Masks versus Dwarven Taboo

You're right; it does seem a little inconsistent. I don't necessarily have a good answer for you. It might, as you suggest, be that they don't really care what their allies of convenience do. They might (rightly or wrongly) assume that all of the outlaws are criminals, but choose to tolerate it prov...

Re: Using [harm_unit] within a cut-scene

That's automatically bundled into his animation. You could probably also use [play_sound], if memory serves.

Re: AI Leader Message Upon Being Attacked?

To answer a question you didn't ask (but might, perhaps, have been wondering about), it's also possible to make the AI leader respond differently to different units...

Re: Project Solestium

Ah, I forgot you're trying to represent a whole world, or perhaps I underestimated the amount of detail you had put into your world. That is a lot of stuff to include.

Well, good luck.

Looks neat! (I'm a bit disappointed that it's not Project Solstheim, although that would probably have copyright problems.) --- For art: there is a chance that you can find or modify other units to suit your needs.

Re: Art for the Return of the Darks

I see his sword changed position a little bit. It looks good - a bit like he's deliberately holding it flat in front of his shield, but that might just be my imagination. I like the brighter color, because it makes it easier to see the slightly curved end of the sword. Speaking of color changes, wha...

Re: Struggling to Get My Campaign to Load

Use an [event] with name=moveto . Inside of that, filter by side (the side of the unit that just moved to a hex) and x and y (the coordinates of the hex). Then tell it to [endlevel] with result=defeat . (Immediate edit because I cannot seem to think these things through): The above would be how you ...

Re: How to make one attack cause multiple types of damage

The AI can't see the bonus damage, yeah. I thought the attack_weight= and defense_weight= keys inside an attack ought to be able to help, but it looks like actually, it just checks whether they are positive numbers or not.

Re: Changing the direction a unit is facing

Well, it changes whatever "var" is to the value of "value". So when you write facing and sw, it changes facing to sw. It's a very open-ended macro! (Hey, does the modify_unit macro actually work? If so, then the fact that it works but regular facing=sw doesn't work would probably...
