ON_SIGHTING Macro

[Velensk]

So I know that using anything to do with sighting is bug prone but I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to get that fixed. I saw that the wiki recommended using the ON_SIGHTING macro and I tried using it. I still am running into bugs and I wanted to know if I was doing something wrong or if it's just an inevitability of doing what I'm trying to do.

I use the macro twice once for the first time a unit of side 2 is sighted, once the first time a unit of side 3 is. The first time a unit is sighted both of them fire. The scenario objectives do not show up until both dialogues end.
-This is what the code looks like (less the dialogue), I followed the example given.

Code: Select all

 {ON_SIGHTING () 1 side=3 (
     [message]
         #Long string of messages
     [/message]
               [objectives]
                   [objective]
                        description= _ "Defeat the enemy leader."
                        condition=win
                   [/objective]
               {HOW_TO_LOSE}
               [gold_carryover]
                    bonus=yes
                    carryover_percentage=40
                [/gold_carryover]
               [/objectives]
)}

 {ON_SIGHTING () 1 side=2 (
     [message]
         #several more messages
     [/message]
)}

The macro/event should have an id if more than one is used (the unused argument in your example). Other than that, plain old moveto events are probably the only safe way to get the desired behavior.

Note that in 1.11.x sighted events can be relayed again.

Note that in 1.11.x sighted events can be relayed again.

"relied upon"
Yes, please support jamit's hard work in this area, and report any potential remaining problems to him, when using 1.11.x.

This was for 1.11.x

So for mutliple of these I need to provide each of them with a distinct id. Am I safe in assumeing that how the id actually reads is irrelevant?
