dabber's questions: vision to location

[dabber]

I don't see a way to use [filter_vision] to detect being able to see a specific location.

But I shouldn't post questions at 3am. Spotting a unit is much easier to figure out after sleeping.
Code:

    [event]
        name=sighted
        [filter]
            side=3
        [/filter]
        [filter_second]
            side=1
        [/filter_second]
        [message]
            message= _ "Sighted 3 normal!"
        [/message]
    [/event]
    [event]
        name=sighted
        [filter]
            side=3
            canrecruit=yes
        [/filter]
        [filter_second]
            side=1
        [/filter_second]
        [message]
            message= _ "Sighted 3 recruiter!"
        [/message]
    [/event]

I don't see a way to use [filter_vision] to detect being able to see a specific location.

I think there's an example of this in the scenario "Choice in the Fog" (in The South Guard).

Thanks gnombat. I was definitely not going to figure that out on my own.

Code for reference:

Code: Select all

[event]
    name=moveto
    [filter]
        side=1
    [/filter]
    [filter_condition]
        [have_location]
            x=40
            y=56
            [filter_vision]
                side=1
            [/filter_vision]
        [/have_location]
    [/filter_condition]
    [message]
        speaker=unit
        message= _ "I think I see the magic doohickey"
    [/message]
[/event]

Interesting. However I would use a enter_hex instead of move_to.
What I did in my campaign is putting a random unit there, and use a sighted event that kills the unit at its beginning.
I will probably replace it with that piece of code.
