problem with pickable items

[beetlenaut]

Do you think filtering by comparing key into variables (like a database program ) is possible?

I'm not sure I understand this, but find_in is part of many filters. It searches in arrays of variables.

Otherwise, you could use string searching functions in WFL or Lua.

I have to learn lua coding but I don't know where I had a start

Lua is not made by BfW. We are just using it because it is an easy language to add to your own project. You can find many general tutorials and examples of how to use it on line. Using it in your add-on is explained at a link I gave you before. The advantage is that if there isn't a WML tag for what you want to do, you may still be able to program it with Lua. In fact, many WML tags are written in Lua already. The World Conquest add-on is mostly written in Lua, so that would be a good place to look for examples.

the result
first after the pickup event

Code: Select all

	[set_variables]
										name=unit_to_list_2
										mode=append
										[value]
											id=$unit_to_list_1.id|
											name=$unit_to_list_1.name|
											object=$item_list[$this_item.index].name

											type=$unit_to_list_1.type|
										[/value]
									[/set_variables]
									{CLEAR_VARIABLE unit_to_list_1}
									[set_variables]

											[command]

													[not]
														x,y=recall,recall
													[/not]
												[/have_unit]
												[then]
													[scroll_to_unit]
														[filter]
															id=$unit_to_list_2.id|
														[/filter]
													[/scroll_to_unit]
												[/then]
												[/if]
											[/command]
										[/value]
								[/set_variables]

								[set_variable]
									name=item_list_begin
									value=yes
								[/set_variable]

									{CLEAR_VARIABLE unit_to_list_2}

then, the prestart

Code: Select all

[set_menu_item]
			id=configure_items
			description=_ "Geared units"
			[command]
				[message]
					speaker=narrator
					image=none
					message="list of geared units"
					[show_if]
						[variable]
							name=item_list_begin
							equals=yes
						[/variable]
					[/show_if]
					[insert_tag]
						name=option
						variable=add_message
					[/insert_tag]
					[option]
						label=_ "Back"
						[command]
						[/command]
					[/option]
				[/message]
			[/command]
		[/set_menu_item]

I forget to delete the filter for [scroll_to_unit] loool but everything else is working. the [insert_tag] is really great
