The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

function wesnoth.wml_actions.your_tag(cfg) local filter = wml.shallow_literal(cfg) filter.key_you_want_to_remove = nil -- repeat for other keys wml.remove_children(filter, 'tag_you_want_to_remove', 'another_tag_you_want_to_remove') filter = wml.tovconfig(filter) -- now just use filter instead of cf...

P.S. I'm also a bit confused why I can make a custom terrain type, but I can't configure the "movement type" on it. Probably wouldn't help me here, but that just seems like something that would be part of a terrain type, it has to be stored somewhere and I can't think of a better place. A...

If you're asking how to store a unit in a WML variable from Lua, like [store_unit] does: local unit = wesnoth.units.find "unit_id" -- get the unit however you want, this example looks it up by its ID wml.variables["your.variable[2].path"] = unit.__cfg If you're asking how to find...

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.
