The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

He said that get/find doesn't work. The only thing that worked was setting the facing direction manually on the unit before animating. However, that same code also passes the facing direction as the target, which doesn't seem like it could work. True, it doesn't work without manually setting facing...

It doesn't...

But maybe harm_unit does that?

Hi,
How to animate my "combat" (abilities) same way the real combat is animated (with that sliding health decrease)?
Thanks

The documentation is here for the record. Hmm. I think we can tell that the wiki is wrong and it should be "target", not "facing" from src/scripting/game_lua_kernel.cpp. And it appears target= needs a location, but I can't find a solid definition of location. It should accept &q...

Hiii, I'm "inspiring" by some of your abilities. And I've noticed Ability AWE (in abilities_misc) is setup wrongly You add a negative value, rather than sub positive value, resulting in the lower level of ability winning over a stronger one (If you have a lvl0 unit adjacent to lvl1 and lvl...

Code: Select all

animation:add(attacker, "attack", "miss",{with_bars = false, primary = attacker.attacks[v["attacker_stats.name"]], secondary = attacker.attacks[v["attacker_stats.name"]], target = wesnoth.map.find{x = 17, y = 30}[1])

Doesn't work

Got it!!! Got to dig inside WML tag implementation to find it. Now it's clear animation:add() DOESN'T take facing as a parameter, but target. The whole doc of the animation:add should be added (where to contact someone who can edit docs?) My Working code: local facing = {x = 17, y = 30} local unit =...

Like this target = {x=19,y=28}?
Doesn't work

Thanks, I'll try tommorrow!
(sry for delay, internet wasn't really working today)

Try the name of a direction, for example facing = 'nw' . It doesn't work for me :( ... animation:add(attacker, "attack", "miss",{with_bars = false, primary = attacker.attacks[v["attacker_stats.name"]], secondary = attacker.attacks[v["attacker_stats.name"]],fa...

Is this not enough? animator:add(unit, flag, hits, { facing = {x = 3, y = 12} }) No, this code doesn't work (playies animation, but doesn't care what is in facing) animation:add(attacker, "attack", "miss",{with_bars = false, primary = attacker.attacks[v["attacker_stats.name...

Thanks ^^
I couldn't find the right syntax.

Hi
how to set facing in animation:add?
https://wiki.wesnoth.org/LuaAPI/wesnoth ... e_animator
(I'd like unit to face x,y)

Good!
I've animated it using harm_unit and create_animation already, but I kimda thought I can't do that,
Thanks

Hey,
how to make a fight between units using Lua/WML?
Thanks
