A small bit of WML begs to be used!

[Burnsaber]

I was in the thought of doing my own campaing, but now i noticed that i have lost all of my WML skills, and i`m not too fond of re-learning them. I had only done 3 scenarios so it`s not that much of a loss.

There is jut one thing. I spent hours and hours on a small piece of WML and like to see it getting used somewhere. I made WML for a wishing well, from where heroe(s) could get a one wish for a boosted trait.

This WML worked in wesnoth 9.0.1. If something has changed in WML since that, it might need some tuning.

Anyone can feel free to copy the WML to his own campaign! You just need to alter the X and Y coordinates and replace instances of heroa and herob with your main characters.

First define a variable for each hero (let`s call them heroa and herob) you want to be able to make a wish in a prestart event

Code: Select all

               [set_variable]
		name=heroawish
		value=0
	[/set_variable]
	[set_variable]
		name=herobwish
		value=0
	[/set_variable]

Then a *large* moveto event, first have it check if the characters have already wished

Code: Select all

[event]
	name=moveto
	first_time_only=no
		[filter]
		side=1
		x=where you want the well to be
		y=where you want the well to be
		[/filter]
		[if]
			[variable]
			name=heroawish
			numerical_equals=1
			[/variable]
			[then]
			[if]	
			[have_unit]
			description=Heroa
			x=wellcoordinate
			y=wellcoordinate
			[/have_unit]
			[then]
			[message]
			description=HeroA
		message=_ "I have already made my wish..." 
			[/message]
			[/then]
			[/if]
			[/then]
		[/if]
                                 [if]
			[variable]
			name=herobwish
			numerical_equals=1
			[/variable]
			[then]
			[if]	
			[have_unit]
			description=Herob
			x=wellcoordinate
			y=wellcoordinate
			[/have_unit]
			[then]
			[message]
			description=HeroB
		message=_ "I have already made my wish..." 
			[/message]
			[/then]
			[/if]
			[/then]
		[/if]

Then put this in the same event. You must create samekind bit for each hero and alter the id`s. So in Herob`s bit the object ids could be A_Speed_Hack , A_Power_Hack and so on.

Code: Select all

		[if]
			[variable]
			name=heroawish
			numerical_equals=0
			[/variable]
				[then]
				[if]
				[have_unit]
				description=HeroA

Would it not be simpler to define two wish events with first_time_only=yes, one specific to each hero, instead of keeping track of a variable?

It`s a small thing, but then you wouldn`t be able to wish again if you choose "i don`t want to make a wish right now".

Code like this should go here. I added it, and made several changes (it is much shorter now ). If you want to change something, it is a wiki...

Thank you very much! I`m no WML wizard, so thanks for shortening it up. I hope someone uses it, otherwise all my #!"&%!¤#`s said during the creating process would have gone to waste. It alwyas annoyed me how your heroes coulnd`t have traits.
