my wml questions thread

[bejacomune]

Since I have many questions, I think that one thread will be better that many (specially that my questions come from a newbie).
question 1:
do WFL work like a variable value?

Code: Select all

[event]
	name=side 1 turn refresh
	first_time_only=no
	[if]
		[variable]
			name=Dharkshow
			equals=yes
		[/variable]
		# Dharkshow is a variable that turned to yes after firing an event x
		# turns from show set by storing turns in the event x then storing the value of turns into var turns_from_show 
		[then]
			[switch]
				variable=turn_number
				[case]
					equals=$($turns_from_show + 2)
					[message]
						speaker=Zortheus
						message= _ "The village located west of the lake is the home of a former apprentice of mine. He lives there as an hermit since the end of the war. He might be willing to help us."
					[/message]
					[scroll_to]
						x=5
						y=21
					[/scroll_to]
					[delay]
						time=300
					[/delay]
					[message]
						speaker=Duck
						message= _ "We should send someone to take a look to this keep then."
					[/message]
					[message]
						speaker=Zortheus
						message= _ "I must go myself, he won't allow anyone else to see him."
					[/message]
					[message]
						speaker=Gar
						message= _ "Poor little shy Mage."
					[/message]
				[/case]
				[case]
					equals=$($turns_from_show + 3)
					[allow_recruit]
						type=Imp
						side=5
					[/allow_recruit]
				[/case]
				[case]
					equals=$($turns_from_show + 7)
					[message]
						speaker=Gar
						message= _ "Hold fast soldiers or the Realm will be lost!"
					[/message]
					[message]
						speaker=Duck
						message= _ "All this is the fault of Syran!"
					[/message]
					[message]
						speaker=Thanatos
						message= _ "Your resistance is useless, pathetic creatures. We have conquered countless worlds, and yours will be no exception."
					[/message]
					{MODIFY_TERRAIN Ql (9,10) (11,11)}
					{MODIFY_TERRAIN Uu (5-9) (13-16)}
				[/case]
				[case]
					equals=$($turns_from_show + 9)
					{MODIFY_TERRAIN Ql (13-17) (4-5)}
					{MODIFY_TERRAIN Uu (16-20) (5-7)}
				[/case]		
				[case]
					equals=$($turns_from_show + 11)
					{MODIFY_TERRAIN Ql (11-15) (15-16)}
					{MODIFY_TERRAIN Uu (13-18) (18-19)}
				[/case]	
				[case]		
					equals=$($turns_from_show + 15)
					{MODIFY_TERRAIN Ql (5-9) (20-22)}
					{MODIFY_TERRAIN Uu (1-3) (17-20)}
				[/case]
			[/switch]
		[/then]
		[else]
			{VARIABLE turns_from_show 0}
		[/else]
	[/if]
[/event]

Your [case] does not have value, so they dont do anything. https://wiki.wesnoth.org/ConditionalAct ... Bswitch.5D

How did I miss that
thank u.
but, the other parts (the wfl syntaxe ) are they good?

You also need to put these formulas in quotes so the "+" will add the numbers. (In normal WML, the "+" concatenates two strings.) It should look like: value="$($turns_from_show + 2)".

In the future, you would do better to explain what you want your code to do, and what it's actually doing. That's because, in this case, the answer to your question is "yes".

Why are you trying to use a version of Python that ancient? Its last release was in 2014
You must update both your Wesnoth version (1.17.5 is ten development releases ago, considering that 1.17.15 was tagged today) and your Python version to at least 3.8 (which is the maximum version available on Windows 7), then everything will work correctly.

EDIT: In your reports I see that your version of Python isn't 3.2 as you stated, but 3.1. That's even more ancient, since it last release was in 2012.

Thank you. We'll, after years with my windows7, that was the last call before being convinced that it is time to stop updating the os indirectly (kb files ect ect) and migrate to windows 11.
Now, it works although my PC became of course hyper slow (normal since it is 4gb ram)
