The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Probably the easiest way is to make a custom version of the village overlay that sets the defense how you want it to be set.

Or rather, it is the function to run arbitrary ActionWML for any reason whatsoever.

Why is that? Is there something that could be done to make it easier to find?

I'm pretty sure you posted the method you tried in the previous thread. Why is it not in this post?

Thanks! Oh dumb me, this works "dialog.test_text:focus()" Yes – either that or "gui.widget.focus(dialog.test_text)". I use dialog:set_canvas(1, { } ) To hide the label background...Any idea how to hide text_box background? Just to clarify, that doesn't hide it. It deletes it. Th...

Pretty much. Just be aware that that also includes deprecated things (which is mostly value_compat and callback).

If you mean in documentation, that would be LuaAPI/types/widget. If you mean in the source code, the relevant file is lua_widget_attributes.cpp.

I was hoping to find corresponding lua files that manipulate the widget so I could determine of its properties (select_layer(s), layer_selected, etc). Those don't exist. All core widgets are handled in C++. I don't know, but I did figure out that dialog.narration.selected_index=2 I'm not 100% sure ...

I'm not aware of any examples of it being used outside of mainline. In mainline it's used in the following windows: addon_list mp_create_game addon_manager campaign_dialog campaign_difficulty game_stats game_version mp_create_game preferences server_info story_viewer title_screen It's also used in a...

The default mode of a stacked widget is to stack its layers on top of one another. A lot of actual uses of it instead use it as a way to swap between different layers, showing only one layer at a time. I'm not sure if there's an example of its intended use in mainline. On the other hand, it's probab...

That's what [stacked_widget] is for.

I think that's correct. You could try resetting the sound source whenever a unit moves. I would expect that to restart the sound from the beginning, but maybe if you're lucky it won't.

Sounds like what you're doing is digging into the spinner's internals (it's a compound widget, which means it's composed of several smaller widges). That's definitely not the way it's supposed to work, but it's good to know that there's at least a workaround for the fact that it's not properly suppo...

Now for the float, I'd like to use a slider, and that slider's minimum and maximum values and step size aren't known when I create the node definition, and it appears they cannot be modified on the fly. My guess is that they are fixed, and I have to define them when I define(/instantiate/initialize...

The quantity (1 - aggression) is used to determine which of two attacks is better. The actual code that does the comparison is this ( harm_weight is the aforementioned aggression-based quantity): // Compare: P(we kill them) - P(they kill us). a = them_a.hp_dist[0] - us_a.hp_dist[0] * harm_weight; b ...
