Re: where I can use [lua] and it's return value, what I can do in modify_unit
I've noticed that it seems I can't do much inside [modify_unit]. For example, I have tried an failed to print/save the value of $this_unit in various ways, but whatever I try seems to be silently ignored. Can I use [lua] there? Is there a list of places where [lua] is acceptable? Is there a list of...

Re: Seeking tricky WML examples
#define MY_FORMULA "(if(a = b, 12, 22 ))"#enddef formula = "(base_value + {MY_FORMULA})" Wouldn't it be better to come up with a more minimalistic test case than that? There's so many things going on in that example it's hard to isolate where the issue actually is. #define MY_FO...

Don't you need a search_recall_list there?

Re: Now THIS is funny
Do you have an actual space in your folder name? I.e., 3rd Army ? You should rename it and replace the space with an underscore, i.e., 3rd_Army . One wonders why campaign .cfgs that contain all those understrokes I removed work just fine, though. The underscore character should work fine, but spaces...

Re: Legend of the Invincibles
Just installed 1.18 BfW from Steam. Campaign originally played on 1.16. If you want to continue from your save file, you may just want to install version 1.16, because 1.18 is not 100% compatible with 1.16 (and there's no guarantee it will work with save files from 1.16). If you install 1.16 you sh...

It might help if you posted the WML code.

Re: Working lua need advice deciding which method is best
_G is about Lua variables, [set_global_variable] is about WML variables which are stored in file. Yep, got that - and I think you've answered my question but, to be crystal clear, if something is created by [set_global_variable] , that variable/data will not automagically appear in _G ? That is, th...

_("There is a $color $species.") I only speak American, not even English, but that looks like a pain for translators. Would they re-order $color and $species as necessary (in which case this appears to be a preferable alternative to string.format, which I find much more readable)? What ab...

Re: Okay, what's up with the macros
I see quite a lot of errors in the code pasted above: The _main.cfg file refers to {~add-ons/my_first_campaign/scenarios} instead of {~add-ons/3rd_army/scenarios} . The scenario .cfg file doesn't have a closing [/scenario] tag. The scenario .cfg file refers to a macro TRAIT_LEADER which doesn't actu...

Re: Working lua need advice deciding which method is best
If you used global variables then stringx.vformat(_("There is a $color $species."), _G) something of this idea will work. _G is table of global variables. The stringx.vformat documentation also suggests using WML variables - then this should work: stringx.vformat(_("There is a $color...

Re: Working lua need advice deciding which method is best
First, why does using both stringx.vformat and concatenation not make sense? Can stringx.vformat also concatenate and I missed it? Well, yes? Isn't that basically what your second example was doing - concatenating strings using stringx.vformat , without using the concatenation operator ( .. )? I'm ...
