FoodHunger 0 <---- upkeep cost of unit in food

Were you able to get this line to work within the game? I tried it once to see if it would work, but was unsuccessful. This would be a good line to get to work though.

And I take it you couldn't figure out the PowerPoints do either.

This is a good reference for anyone who is adding new units!!!!

To be honest, I've never actually tried it, except when Nuo was trying the nomad, and tried it with a minus number to give the civ food.

Powerpoints I don't know, but I just had a look round, and I think it may be something to do with how much production points the unit disbands to when its disbanded in a city. Look in const.txt for POWER_POINTS_TO_MATERIALS 1

Evidently powerpoints should be roughly 1/2 the unit cost, and by the looks of things, you can edit how much each powerpoint donates.

Hi Ben

Thanks a lot for your reply with the explanations. Most of it, I assumed allready, as you explained. However I still have a couple of questions:

1) What dose "LossMoveToDmgNone" mean
2) What flag do I have to set, in order that a unit can attack in the same turn more than once, if this unit has move-points left

Thanks a lot and best regards
Ralph

I dont know. But... I think it may mean the unit doesn't lose movement points when its damaged. In civ2, units lost their movement points when they got damaged. 1/2 their hit points left = 1/2 their movement points.

That needs SLIC code, its in the Samurai scenario, so it could be cut straight from there.

Hope that helps
Ben

EDIT: I just found the code you want:

Code:

  //----------------------------------------------------------------
 // Clear Battle Flag so samurai can attack multiple times per turn
//------------------------------------------------------------------

HandleEvent(BattleAfterMath) 'SSAfterBattle_F' post {   
	afterBattle = 1;                                
}

HandleEvent(MoveUnits) 'SSClearBattleFlag_f' pre {
int_t		i;

	if (afterBattle == 1) {                     
		afterBattle = 0;                     
		for(i = 0; i < 7; i = i + 1) {
			if (sevenSamurai[i].valid) {
				ClearBattleFlag(sevenSamurai[i]);
			}
		}
	}

This is designed for the seven samurai, so it will need adapting for your needs. Try:

Code:

HandleEvent(BattleAfterMath) 'SSAfterBattle_F' post {   
	afterBattle = 1;                                
}

HandleEvent(MoveUnits) 'SSClearBattleFlag_f' pre {
int_t		i;

	if (afterBattle == 1) {                     
		afterBattle = 0;                     
		for(i = 0; i < army[0].size; i = i + 1) {
			GetUnitByIndex(army[0], i, tmpUnit)
                          if(tmpUnit[i].valid) {
				ClearBattleFlag(tmpUnit[i]);
			}
		}
	}

That should clear the battle flag for your army, after each battle. If that doesnt work, replace the line "for(i = 0; i < army[0].size; i = i + 1) {" with "for(i = 0; i < player[0].units; i = i + 1) {", and in the line below that, replace "army[0]" with "player[0].units", which will then clear the battle flag for all your units. If that doesn't work (my SLIC is not amazing), I'm sure someone else will point out my errors.

Pheeuw, talked too much today, going to eat lunch

Hi Ben

I hope you had a good lunch with something to "undry" your mouth from the "lots of talking".

Thanks a lot. I will try this out over the weekend.
I will let you know the outcome of my tryings.

Thanks and best regards
