Linking Macro files

[kobe]

Hello,

while working on an scenario of mine I used a macro for the first time. When loading the scenario for multiplayer, I get an error that the "Macro/file IS_SPAWN_FREE is missing". How do I properly link the macro file? It is in utils.

The _main.cfg has the following line to link it:

Code: Select all

{~add-ons/A_Addon_Test/scenarios}
{~add-ons/A_Addon_Test/utils}

The macro in question. I had an error in there but could not find any more and the error message remains.

Code: Select all

#textdomain wesnoth-A_Addon_Test

# checks if no units hostile to side are in a radius around x,y

#define IS_SPAWN_FREE LOC RADIUS SIDE
	[not]
		[have_unit]
			[filter_location]
				location_id={LOC}
				radius={RADIUS}
			[/filter_location]
			[filter_side]
				[enemy_of]
					side={SIDE}
				[/enemy_of]
			[/filter_side]
		[/have_unit]
	[/not]
#enddef

I tried to search ReferenceWML and the forums but couldn't find any solution.

Thank you very much.

{~add-ons... is not linking, it is telling wesnoth to take data from there and put into current line. The instructions are carried out in the order written, so if {~add-ons/A_Addon_Test/scenarios} depends on {~add-ons/A_Addon_Test/utils} then {~add-ons/A_Addon_Test/utils} needs to be in earlier line.

Hurrah! The error message changed!

{~add-ons... is not linking, it is telling wesnoth to take data from there and put into current line.

Makes sense.

Didn't know it was order dependent...
I thought it just tells wesnoth where everything is and only after that it "compiles" the files.

Sorry for my poor english and thank you very much for the fast answer.
