This page describes the LuaWML functions and helpers for handling sides and villages.

wesnoth.get_side

Returns the team with given number.

local team = wesnoth.get_side(1)
team.gold = team.gold + 50

Teams are proxy tables with the following fields:

  • side: the side number Template:DevFeature1.9
  • gold, village_gold, base_income: integers (read/write)
  • total_income: integer (read only)
  • objectives, user_team_name: translatable strings (read/write)
  • objectives_changed: boolean (read/write)
  • team_name: string (read/write)
  • controller: string (read/write) Template:DevFeature1.9

note: In networked multiplayer, the controller attribute is ambiguous. Be very careful or you have OOS errors.

The metatable of these proxy tables appears as "side".

wesnoth.sides

Template:DevFeature1.9

This is not a function but a table indexed by side numbers. Its elements are the proxy tables returned by #wesnoth.get_side.

local team = wesnoth.sides[1]
team.gold = team.gold + 50
wesnoth.message(string.format("%d sides", #wesnoth.sides))

wesnoth.get_sides

Template:DevFeature1.9

Returns a table array containing proxy tables for these sides matching the passed StandardSideFilter.

--set gold to 0 for all sides with a leader
local sides = wesnoth.get_sides({ {"has_unit", { canrecruit = true }} })
for i,v in ipairs(sides) do
    v.gold = 0
end

wesnoth.get_village_owner

Returns the side that owns the village at the given location.

local owned_by_side_1 = wesnoth.get_village_owner(12, 15) == 1

wesnoth.set_village_owner

Gives ownership of the village at the given location to the given side (or remove ownership if none). Ownership is also removed if nil or 0 is passed for the third parameter, but no capture events are fired in this case. Template:DevFeature1.9: An optional 4th parameter (boolean true|false, default: false) can be passed determining whether to fire any capture events. Previously, capture events were forcefully fired.

wesnoth.set_village_owner(12, 15, 1)

wesnoth.is_enemy

Template:DevFeature1.9

Returns true if side A is enemy of side B, false otherwise.

local enemy_flag = wesnoth.is_enemy(1, 3)

wesnoth.match_side

Template:DevFeature1.9

Matches a side against a given StandardSideFilter.

wesnoth.message(tostring(wesnoth.match_side(1, {{"has_unit", { type = "Troll" }}})))

wesnoth.get_starting_location

Template:DevFeature1.9

local loc = wesnoth.get_starting_location(1)
wesnoth.message(string.format("side 1 starts at (%u, %u)", loc[1], loc[2]))

helper.all_teams

Returns an iterator over teams that can be used in a for-in loop.

for team in helper.all_teams() do team.gold = 200 end
