damn what a seven-headed bug!...
So where do I put this part in the code?
And when my unit is above the target level of the attack, will it work properly to decrease the damage?

[Barbaros]

I think this should work to check whether there is an adjacent unit with a lower level adjacent. I didn ttest it though and im not an expert on wesnoth frmoula filte syntax so it might not work.

Code: Select all

formula = "def adjacent_occupied_locs(loc)
				filter(
					adjacent_locs(loc),
					'loc',
					unit_at(loc) != null()
				);
			size(filter(adjacent_occupied_locs(loc), 'loc', unit_at(loc).level > self.level)) > 0"

            [filter]
                formula = "def adjacent_occupied_locs(loc)
				filter(
					adjacent_locs(loc),
					'loc',
					unit_at(loc) != null()
				);
			size(filter(adjacent_occupied_locs(loc), 'loc', unit_at(loc).level > self.level)) > 0"
            [/filter]

Do I use it like that?
Will it work together with these others?

Code: Select all

	    [filter_adjacent]
		level="$($this_unit - 1)"
		[or]
		level="$($this_unit - 2)"
		[/or]
		[or]
		level="$($this_unit - 3)"
		[/or]
		[or]
		level="$($this_unit - 4)"
		[/or]
	    [/filter_adjacent]

	    [filter_adjacent]
		level="$($this_unit + 1)"
		[or]

Maybe I should give up this ability I wanted so much...
The fighters will have to be cowards anyway...
Because it's very complicated to code...

[Barbaros]

Some way for the unit to have an attack that is only available with low HP, another condition would be on specific terrain, or only during the day or night.

I have no idea how to establish these conditions for the attack to be available or not.
I start to think that this is too complex for me to learn on my own, since I have been trying for a long time.
The worst part of the story is that I really didn't want to give up...

[lhybrideur]

Concerning your fighter ability, could you use a formula or something to do value = -15*(unit.level-second_unit.level) or the other way around ?
Only wondering because I have no idea how this works.

[Barbaros]

In this formula if "2" is for 50% of HP, then "4" is for 25% of HP?
damn mathematics that chases me kkkkk...

Code: Select all

formula="max_hitpoints / hitpoints > 2"

Code: Select all

formula="max_hitpoints / hitpoints > 4"

I'll see what I do with that too. Thank you.

Tell me if Last Resort works like this:
I'm a little tired, just let me know if you have a problem with the code.
This frustrates me when it doesn't work, it's the tenth time I modified this code today, I stopped testing on the ninth kkkkkk.
Sorry for the code not being organized here on the forum, have a little patience to read.

If anyone understands why this code doesn't work at all, I'm all ears.

[beetlenaut]

The resistance does work. It just doesn't start where you might expect because the result of the division is automatically rounded off. If your unit has 16 hitpoints out of 36, the result of the division is 2, not 2.25 like you might expect. And 2 is not > 2. Use >= instead to fix this problem.

The other part doesn't work because you filter on an ability called "regenerates 10%", but the ability is not called that. It is called "Strengthening". If you change it to filter on the correct name, it will work.

[lhybrideur]

In this formula if "2" is for 50% of HP, then "4" is for 25% of HP?
damn mathematics that chases me kkkkk...

Code: Select all

formula="max_hitpoints / hitpoints > 2"

Code: Select all

formula="max_hitpoints / hitpoints > 4"

yes.
You might be able to do it the other way around for it to be clearer, if it accepts doubles.

Code: Select all

formula="hitpoints / max_hitpoints > 0.5"

Our unbelievable stupidity, putting the name of the event in the filter, but that was because my mind was tired, trying to program several things that didn't work. Thank you for correcting this great imbecility kkkkkkkk. Very good to know that ">=" will always be better.

I would like to know if this ability will work properly like this, or would I have to use the status description: Example: slowed, petrified, incinerated, or otherwise?
