Modding Discussion Thread

Is it possible to detect the environment of the tile a unit is on during combat using scripts? I plan to give some waterwalking units extra movement allowance on water tiles.

[Seravy]

Should be possible in 1.4.4.
...looks like I forgot to include the scripts.txt file in the update.

Use GetTerrain with the position of the unit which you can get from Getstat.

May I suggest that next version to include ability to remove ability line so that modder could replace original name text with new one (such as rename "Misfortune" to "Jinx", etc)?

I want to use script to give enchantment to specific unit when at water tile. How to use getterrain or anything in precombat script to detect if combat is fought on water tile? And what value I need to looking for?

In theory you already can by making a new ID for the enchantment but it comes at the cost of having to re-implement the effect in unitcalc.cas.

I think that's not possible yet. I'll need to add some functions to get the location of the current combat.

Then I will ask for next best thing, as ocean/sea combat map has only water combat tile, how to detect water combat tile in combat? And what is example of how to use getterrain/setterrain?

[Suppanut]

What are suppose to be terrain value that should be use or return from get/setterrain? What is code for each type of terrain at all?

[Seravy]

Code:

Overland
      LTOCean = 0;
      LTShore = 1;
      LTLake = 2;
      LTRiverMouth = 3;
      LTGrassland = 4;
      LTHill = 5;
      LTMountain = 6;
      LTVolcano = 7;
      LTDesert = 8;
      LTSwamp = 9;
      LTTundra = 10;
      LTRiver = 11;
      LTForest = 12;
      LTChaosNode = 13;
      LTNatureNode = 14;
      LTSorceryNode = 15;
      LTRiverStart = 16;
Ores
      OreWildgame = 1;
      OreNightshade = 2;
      OreAdamantium = 3;
      OreMithril = 4;
      OreOrihalcon = 5;
      OreIron = 6;
      OreCoal = 7;
      OreSilver = 8;
      OreGold = 9;
      OreGems = 10;
      OreCrysx = 11;
      OreQuork = 12;
Combat
CTGrass = 1;
      CTSea = 2;
      CTForest = 3;
      CTIce = 4;    
      CTPine = 5;
      CTrock = 6;
      CTRock2 = 7;
      CTMountain = 8;
      CTDesert = 9;
      CTSwamp = 10;
      CTCenter = 11;
      CTFloating = 12;

Thank you.

Is it possible to get unit's coordinate or using getterrain without coordinate?

Also how to use alive(u)? I try to use it on crack call script but no matter how I try it return with error.
