The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Yeah, I saw that somewhere after posting. But from what I've read about [filter_wml] it sounds like there's no penalty for using it where it is not necessary, and that way you don't need to remember if you need it or not in cases you don't deal with regularly. ? There is a special optimization for ...

For substituting WML variables into any moderately complicated WFL formula, I'd recommend using a where clause. [effect] apply_to=attack increase_damage="$(met_lilith*2-lilith_deaths where met_lilith = $quests.met_lilith - 0, lilith_deaths = $quests.lilith_deaths - 0)" [/effect] [effect] a...

Have you looked at unit_placed? It seems to be a bit of a last restort, but you should be able to make it work. [I assume you mean fire event after unit uses the teleport ability, not [teleport] ] yes. as I mentioned before, I am trying to make an event that fire after a unit uses the teleport abil...

Sorry, I'm not sure. It might interact and cancel out because they have the same ID, but I can't be sure.

The second one.

There's no official way. If wesnoth.scenario.__cfg exists, you might be able to get them from there.

Loading it back in is going to be pretty much the same procedure as saving it was. The scalar ones should be easy, literally the exact same loop you used to save but flip the assignment. Container variables will be a bit more tricky. I think something along these lines may work? local tags = {} for ...

The Lua API to global variables is not finalized, so it might change without warning, but it does exist. local GV = wesnoth.experimental.wml.global_vars local ns = "your_namespace" -- Set a global variable GV[ns].varname = "stuff" GV[ns]["varname"] = "stuff" -...

Wait until an add-on has a bug and writes millions of saves.

There is probably no way to save the entire game with all the information of a real saved game. You might be able to get close by writing wesnoth.scenario.__cfg (if that exists, didn't check) and also dumping every unit and maybe a few other things. Maybe I could copy/reproduce code for saving and l...

I don't think there's any reason why we couldn't have a way for an add-on to explicitly request a save or load, as long as: There are protections against overwriting other save files (maybe with the exception of save files explicitly requested by the same add-on). The user is not forced to load when...

I just want to note that if this has changed to actually working on the campaign rather than just "gathering information", you should probably create a new thread or at least rename the opening post and new posts.

Wesnoth provides no facility for writing arbitrary files, only for reading them. There is a facility for writing arbitrary WML to disk in a fixed location though – look for PersistenceWML.

I don't think there's any way to do that.

I thought that might be the case too, but I didn't read closely.
