The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I encountered this problem on Win XP ... took a bit, but the problem appears to be privileges (at least it was for me). 1) I installed the game as admin. 2) my son tried running it with his id (non-admin) and got the crazy font ... 3) if I ran it with my id, it's ok .. 4) I moved it to the shared lo...

I'm having trouble with this one .. The North Elven Lord dies on turn 8 every time ... I can't even get any troop half way there in 8 turns!! I see people talking about recruiting horsemen? How? I don't have that option .. do you mean elvish scouts? Again, they can't make it to the North Elf keep in...

Wow, ok, sorry, I was on 1.7.1, not .2 ... whatever .. anyway, wow, On Medium, finally did it!! It's not easy, mostly luck, and I lost track of the reloads .. however, here's the replay .. a couple tricks and tactics I tried which did seem to help: a) I started a bit of a melee in the SW .. got hair...

(1) What difficulty levels and what version of Wesnoth have you played the scenario on? Medium v 1.7.2 (2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10) 10 Not sure how people thought this was easy .. somebody mentioned grunts don't attack you . even if you're right next to them .. that's not true...

If you teleport a unit on an occupied hex, it will look at an adjacent hex next to it and try to teleport the unit on it. A unit could teleport on an unreachable hex this way. On 1.7 you have a key to prevent that to happen within the [teleport] tag, but if you're on 1.6 your idea of filtering on e...

Ok, tried that .. however, it doesn't seem to be working?? #define BLINK ID X Y [store_locations] [and] x={X} y={Y} radius=3 [/and] [not] terrain=Wo,Dd^Fi,^Xo,Md^Xm,Mm^Xm,Xos,Xu,Xv,Qea,Ql,Qlf,Qxu,Yl [/not] variable=l_tmp_blink [/store_locations] {RANDOM 1..$l_tmp_blink.length} {VARIABLE_OP random ad...

It comes from a subtlety of radius, explained here In your code, you apply the filter to the location of your unit, checking if it's not in a unreachable hex (and it will obviously be on a reachable hex), and then store all hexes within radius. To remove the wrong hexes that are in radius, you'll r...

Hoping someone can help me .. probably an easy one and I'm not looking in the right place. I've searched for existing examples/templates to guide .. I've searched on the on-line reference, but can't seem to figure out how to do this. I have a unit that will teleport to a nearby location. This part i...

Thanks, I'll try that .. I guess I'll macro the OR chain if I have to ..

No, [filter_wml] works like this:

Right .. of course .. Thank-you!

ad 4) [unstore_unit] can do that, you can even define the color... I was just reading the Cleave Thread there .. it seems to have a good example of how .. so yeah ... thanks!! That's only half the answer, however .. is there any function/macro/whatever that can damage a unit, handling XP and death?...

Got a couple quick questions I wanted to ask while I'm online .. I've done some looking at the ref docs, but just wanted to confirm quickly if I was on the right track. 1) I'm trying to stop a unit from gaining XP (don't ask, I got my reasons .. :D ) anyway .. my first draft was to setup a TRAIT tha...

As far as I can tell, the [not] tag only only shifts a True/False value, which can be given by [have_unit] or [filter], and can not intreprete any key. So, having [not] variable=true [/not] shouldn't have any effect. Thus, only your 1st proposed code will filter something (I would say your second f...

Coding aside, please don't make these "ewoks" short, fuzzy, brown, creatures who scream a lot and throw rocks. Elseways your creation will never see the light of day. Copyright and all that. hehe .. I know .. it's just an example .. the race I'm trying to create is not Ewoks .. I'm actual...

Right, so I'm trying to create a new unit, and want to define a new race .. ie one that's not in the game currently. "e.g. ewoks". (not really, it's just an example ...) :wink: So, I assume I could just define the [unit_type] and set "race=ewok" .. however, I'm pretty sure "...

Does the position of the [not] make a difference in this case?
It seems it would work either way?
