Not good idea, as SN:W^slot^ can't store both armies data after battle, so one of variable will be wrong. To have it work properly if both attacker and defender have dragons, you must store in BA/BG their heroes ID, battle side and slots respectively. Of course, the casualties will show dendroids, because this is what they are when they die.

Such scripts can get quite long if you want them to work in all situations. And then what happens if one of heroes surrender while script is not closed, no idea.

The trigger MF1 happens before the stack is killed and the battle end. So I used some ideas of sagamosa. I am trying to give the bind ability to my new creature the Dryad number 231.

It works. The battle result is ok.

Is there a way to use these commands and add simple traits like attack, defense and health bonus? I am asking because when it comes to the (originally) 4 unused Heroes III creatures (122, 124, 126, 128) the stack experience doesn't work and it needs scripting. So, I was wondering If I could script these bonuses as well.

Yeah but i was wandaering how to edit creature traits such as double strike or no retal and size of the creature w/o the usage of stack exp. If you look at the scripts of WoGs creatures that are modified they are all modified to gain spells by levels so how to use those scripts in order to change creature traits and add new w/o the stack levelling up?

I don't see how battle flags will help with my problem. As I said the 4 unused Conflux creatures need to have their stack experience fixed through erm (and not my the crexbon.txt). What I need is EA commands to set speed bonuses, attack bonuses etc.

My answer was to Steroid. For your problem I have no clue, if they are unused, they are unused until now, you have to improvise.

Is it possible to make a creature cast a spell instead of attack, like Master Genies, Archangels or Ogre Magi? If not, can we change the spell they cast?

I imagine that at least part of the habilities creatures gain with ranks are hard coded cause "Creatures Stack Experience" is Slava's work but how can I find out what is and what is not?

Short answer: No.

Long answer and only for experimented users: yes up to some point, use BM:E and BM:U4 to see what is possible. Don't forget that casting spell requires a specific animation too, if the creature don't have it, game will crash.

THANK YOU!!! I will became an experimented user one day...

Is it possible to give mass spell (efreets, gargoyles) or was hardcoded?

Reading things word by word is a better police then one may think...

To have the habilities replaced first clean the defitions with:

Hi,

would it be possible to add those extra features to the war machinery? I know they do not get experience, because they are added if the proper "artifact" is equipped. That's no problem. I want to add or alter some functionality for the first aid tent per battle.

As far as i know i can access the BF stacks with !!EA-1 ... !!EA-41 to target a specific BF stack.

So first question: Do these war machines have any EA features already set? And is there a flag/option that let's any creature cast a spell after being attacked? Or at least when retaliating?

I'd like to let the tent cast animate dead instead of heal if used by a hero with necromancy, and to cast resurrection if used by a hero without necromancy but some other skills (not yet specified). Would that be possible?

For the spell after being attacked: I'd like to make living creatures under the control of the frost ring specialist to cast frost ring after being atacked (not before), or before retaliating. I tried it with manual applying damage, but that shows the damage animation one after the other, which does not look that good.

Try to look in existing mods. For example bers.pack.erm from wog revised gives to gnolls first strike when retaliating,  or gives gran elves shoot after moving. Just change the strike/move to cast spell manually. For SN receiver and its parameters, look in era manual (to not confound with SN/sound).

I know that Woodmelon coded the catapult for Haart specialty using the EA but the "creature" doesn't gain experience so all habilities are set to work at maximum potence from level 0.
I also know someone already code the resurrection hability to the first aid tend, I even think is one of the options in the Skills page of WoG. Don't remember to see it cast animate dead but probably also.


I believe it is in this fight you can see a tend resurrecting troops but I don't have the time to rewhatch it right now.

First Aid Tent

Hi,

Edit: Git it. Wrong index inf FindStack.

i tried it now, and it does not work. So obviously there is something wrong. Here is the code:


!?BF&1000;
!!BA:H0/?y1; ** y1 = left hero ID
!!if&y1>=0:;
!!HEy1:A2/@First Aid Tent(A)@/d/?y2;
!!if&y2>0:;

!!HEy1:X?y4/?y5/d/d/d/d/d;
!!VRy3&y3<0/y4=@SpecCreature@/y5=@First Aid Tent@:S@Cure@;
!!VRy3&y3<0/y4=@SpecSecondarySkill@/y5=@First Aid@:S@Cure@;
!!VRy3&y3<0/y4=@SpecSpell@/y5=@Cure@:S@Cure@;
!!VRy3&y3<0/y4=@SpecSpell@/y5=@Resurrection@:S@Resurrection@;
!!HEy1:S@Water Magic@/?y6;
!!VRy3&y3<0/y5>0:S@Cure@;
!!HEy1:S@Earth Magic@/?y7;
!!VRy3&y3<0/y7>0:S@Resurrection@;
!!if&y3>=0:; ** Found something to apply
!!DO@FindStack@/0/20/1:P@First Aid Tent@;
!!if&v2>=0:; ** found tent
!!VRy9:S0-v2-1;
!!EAy9:B5/1/74/y3/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1;
!!en:;
!!en;
!!en:;
!!EA-1:B5/1/74/37/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1;
!!en:;
** TODO: defender
!!FU:E;


The second EA line is for debugging only, if anything above went wrong. I have a very similar script with BR trigger that shows me debug messages instead of really applying anything. This script says that first aid tent was found at index 0, and the spell was set to 37 which is cure. That would be correct. But when i try to check the tent for exp abilities there is nothing.

I thought with !!EA-1:... i'd address the first battlefield stack. Is that wrong? Or what index does the first battlefield stack have for the EA receiver?

P.S.: I tried !#EA147:B5/1/74/37/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1; and that worked. So basically the syntax seems to be correct. So the question reduces to the correct index for first BF stack.

What value you get for v2 after stacks loop? Also after loop, try debug:

!!BMv2:T?y1; is y1 tent subtype?

Yes, i tried it. And found a bug there. I got the wrong BF index. Now the first aid tent is found, and the ability is applied.

But still it does not cast. Seems that the tent does never "attack". So healing is not an attack.

Is there another possibility to make the tent cast a spell? Like the commander f.ex.


BTW i found another bug in the code above. The line applying the ability should read:


!!EAy9:B5/1/74/y3/100/100/100/100/100/100/100/100/100/100/100;
