The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

wesnoth.units.create_weapon is not documented. I noticed that too right after bringing it up. I would expect unit.attacks[#unit.attacks] = { name = 'new attack', range = 'melee', damage = 4, number = 3 } be error, since it gives table not weapon. While valid use would be unit.attacks[#unit.attacks]...

One of the major problem, and what’s being worked the most with is consistency in the images in such a way that you can have several images in different settings of the same person. The easiest way, The easiest way to do that is not AI but 3D modelling. We can also see entire YouTube channels and t...

Good question. I'm not actually sure. The documentation clearly says indexing at the length, but it could be wrong. It makes sense from a Lua standpoint that you'd need to add 1 to append, but it's not a true array so I'd have to check the code (or try it out) to be certain.

I'm not sure what you're reading, but this is what the documentation says on the topic: An attack can be replaced wholesale, or appended by indexing at the list's length and assigning. That implies you can add a new attack to the end with code like the following: unit.attacks[#unit.attacks] = { name...

but I see a lot of potential. I very strongly question your judgment then. It's true that the AI art tools of today are pretty incredible and can make amazing images. It's also true that those tools don't understand perspective and anatomy and can very easily make beginner's mistakes in those other...

Yes, it's a pure functional language inside Wesnoth (pure meaning that there are no functions with side-effects).

The AI already takes most abilities into account when deciding how to attack, as long as the ability doesn't rely on events. It doesn't handle backstab-like or leadership-like events very well, either – it won't position units so as to take advantage of such abilities, but it will take advantage of ...

Out of curiosity (and I'd really like to learn WFL), 1 Could you explain me how is that supposed to work. adjacent_locs(loc(x,y) gets all the locations adjacent to the unit under consideration (x,y is equivalent to self.x,self.y here). map(..., 'loc', unit_at(loc)) converts the list of locations to...

Do you know how to get all adjacent units, fulfilling certain conditions(enemy=yes)? If you need to do this all in a single formula, I think something like the following should work (untested): size( filter( filter( map( adjacent_locs(loc(x,y)), 'loc', unit_at(loc)), 'maybe_unit', maybe_unit != nul...

1. How to get the "real" damage of an attack(after applying all other [damage], and other modifications) That's simply not possible to obtain in an ability formula. It would only be an infinite loop if you tried to implement something capable of that into the engine. Outside of the abilit...

It would be beneficial for me as a campaign creator to have the ability to reset the achievements counter exclusively for my own test games. When playing test games, I wanted to reset everything to the beginning. I think adding a button for this in the preferences dialog would be a reasonable reque...

As for woses it is even less propably since we remember how they reacted when orcs wanted to burn forest (and drakes literally breath with fire). I think it's possible for wose and drakes to get along – unlike orcs, drakes to not clear forests. Certainly, their fiery breath is a great danger to for...

I'm pretty sure [variables] can just hold any arbitrary WML, so no, I doubt that's the cause.

It seems like a bug to me. I guess the code is probably trying to look up the variable in a different config, somehow…?

I think Duke_Anax's reasoning makes more sense here. The skin's not going to suddenly lose its pigmentation all of a sudden.

The specific span of time can vary by forum, sure. However, I think most people would agree that 7 years is clear necromancy.
