The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

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.

What I wonder is should there be a difference in .valid between the two? I was looking for the answer to the in the above quoted documentation, but didn't see/understand it. __cfg just returns WML. It doesn't know that it's a unit anymore, it's just an arbitrary untyped chunk of data formatted acco...

It's the masters that would be evil, not the undead themselves. Undead can't do much without a master... Unless they're a lich or a death knight or a ghost, all of which at least potentially retain a will of their own. Though that doesn't make them evil, either. It depends on what they actually do.

That is thread necromancy, isn't it? Yup, it is. Not sure if the forums have an official policy on that though. I personally think it's fine as long as it's actually adding to the thread. (Your mileage may vary on whether holypaladin's comment adds to the thread.) I don't think so. Thread necromanc...

Wait, why are you grabbing .__cfg off the unit in the first place? There isn't really any reason to do that unless you want to stuff it into a variable or read stuff that's not otherwise accessible. It serializes the entire unit to WML. Just don't do that and you should be fine… or if you absolutely...

Since they will be just another evil entity. I don't know why you're assuming that anything is "just another evil entity". Orcs are clearly not evil, as seen by Son of the Black Eye. Undead are really more chaotic neutral than evil in Wesnoth, as seen in the two undead campaigns (and prob...
