this by itself does not work
i suppose, bc its a status, it starts only with the scenario, and i cant set a status to a unit hoping it will get this status everytime
thats why i need to understand where is this status defined, like where the game sees this and understands what it means?
where are all statuses defined?

There is no such thing as defined status. All legal WML keys are also valid status names.

but there must be a way to set a status as default to a unit_type created by me
how can AI act accordingly if it does not know what invulnerable means? and if it does know then somewhere in the files must be a in code description of what this status does
i refuse to believe it is impossible to know)

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do, but maybe this will give you a hint. I don't think it's quite what you want, but it might be close enough to get you moving. Of course, you'd need an advance event if you actually went this route.

Code: Select all

    [event]
        name=prerecruit
        first_time_only=no
        [filter]
            side=2
        [/filter]
        [if]
            [variable]
                name=unit.type
                equals=Mage of Light
            [/variable]
            [then]
                {VARIABLE unit.status.invulnerable yes}
                [unstore_unit]
                    variable=unit
                    find_vacant=no
                [/unstore_unit]
            [/then]
        [/if]
    [/event]

thats too heavy for me) sorry
i dropped the idea of implementing it in a scenario, now im merely interested in what does Invulnerability do exactly
like does it decrease the chance of being hit to 0 or decrease the chance of the enemy's weapon to hit to 0. How does it work... god knows, and wesnoth developers

"I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do"

Now what im trying to do is create a character that has a trait, or something, that gives him invulnerable status. You create this unit through debug in any scenario and it has this status, that works like in Pebbles_in_the_Flood.
This trait should be by default, you should be able to recall it in the next scenario with this status still available, still working

Code: Select all

[defense]
            shallow_water=0
            reef=0
            swamp_water=0
            flat=0
            sand=0
            forest=0
            hills=0
            mountains=0
            village=0
            castle=0
            cave=0
            frozen=0
            fungus=0
[/defense]
gives the same effect, except magical attacks that overwrite the defence capabilities and give the same minimum 70%

Regarding how invulnerable works, it just forces the hit chance to zero.
