@Elvish_Hunter That does not help. unit-utils.cfg: #define ADVANCE_UNIT FILTER ID_STRING [modify_unit] [filter] {FILTER} [/filter] type={ID_STRING} [/modify_unit] #enddef And I do not want to remove all objects It seems to work with modifying unit.__cfg (remove objects there) and then calling wesnot...

Jovycos

How to tell a unit to level up to itself? Encapsulating all modifications in objects is reasonable in my opinion. I want to avoid undo-information, that is complicated and error-prone.

PS:
wesnoth.transform_unit?

Jovycos

Okay, I have written a Lua script “reassembling” a unit, it removes everything except of temporary data (x, y, moves, hitpoints, attacks_left, experience, status, variables), basic data which should not be changed by effects (type, gender, variation, id, underlying_id, name, side) and modifications....

Hi!

I just wondered why there is the [object] tag in Wesnoth. It sounds like a tag for handling all changes made to the unit, but they cannot be removed, so, why aren't there simply direct changes instead of [object]s in the [modifications]-section?

I guess there is an era containing such a faction somewhere.
If you can‘t find it: Look for few extra units from XYZ such that the mermen have a respectable number of units and create an era yourself, that is really easy.

I like mermen, too.

I have got two ~-folders, one for development with very few addons and one with all the great addons I know for playing… Disabling/enabling should be really implemented, "profiles" would be a nice extra, defined sets of enabled addons (+maybe other options, e.g. the design, nick name, debu...

Thanks…

Hi!

I have noticed that ability/special-filters are updated quite often (by dumping messages from Lua), but when does it exactly happen?

Regards

Jovycos

No, the real world is more complicate, I have got a filter and it has to be updated regularly, at least for specials that is the case, that is why I’m asking for abilities…

Jovycos

And the effect won’t be updated regularly? But an ability should work, right?

Btw: Where can I see the image of the object in the game?

Jovycos

Hi!

When I add this Object to the modifications-list of a unit from Lua nothing happens:

Code: Select all

{'object',
    {'effect', {apply_to='movement', set='0'}}}

What could be the problem?

@Anonymissimus
Well, Lua is not that difficult if you have got experiences with some other languages.

Jovycos

Oh, thanks for correcting that. I had not yet tested it and simply wanted to share my approach.
I want to get the movement-type, because it can be used as an indicator how "strong" a unit is.
I am not interested in the concrete values.

Jovycos

Okay, thanks, I will try that:

Code: Select all

function get_movement_type(unit)
  local type = unit.type
  if type == nil then
    return nil
  else
    return wesnoth.get_unit_type(unit.type).movement_type
  end
end

Thanks.

Hi!

I would like to get the movement_type of a unit from WML/Lua.
But unfortunately it seems not to be stored in the units.
How can I receive it? Do I have to get the unit_type and can I access the movement_type there? How to get the unit_type?

Regards
Jovycos
