Useful WML Fragments
NOTES ABOUT ADDING PAGES: try not to add new pages here. Find a category in which your code fits and add it to that page.
Most of the things found here are macros (see PreprocessorRef) that must be copied into a scenario file or another file included first by the campaign, and then used in the scenario (or multiplayer map). Remember that a macro cannot be used at a point before it is defined.
For a step by step instruction, look here: HowTo: IncludeMacros and then here: HowTo: UseMacros
High level macros often require the lower level macros found in ProgrammingMacros, Utilities, and Scenario Tools.
Logic Structure Macros
- ProgrammingMacros: Definitions for some low-level macros to make it easier to write program-like WML.
- WML Utilities: Macros to assist other macros. Test Value of Variable. If Have Unit. Store Unit Attribute. Filter by Terrain. Iterate. Overlay with Filter. Determine Opposite Coordinates.
Campaign Tools
- WML Scenario Tools: Macros directly useful in a scenario. Modify unit. Give villages to a side. Return Unit to Recall List. Trap Unit. Change Keep Terrain. Hero die message. Item effect.
- WML Dialog Tools: Macros useful for unit dialog/storyboarding. Character Speaker, Blank story section, Delays and Fades.

Unit Tools
- MoveExistingUnit: Move a unit from one place to another, displaying its movement. Move Unit 1. Move Unit 2. Move Unit 3.

- WML Buildings: Generic Buildings, Light House/Dark Tower, Wishing Well #1, Wishing Well #2.
- RandomTraitUnit: Create a unit with two random traits. (very simple.) (updated)

- DroppableItem: Macros to drop items. Currently only macros for dropping items on unit death including a permenant item that can be picked up, and dropped, multiple times by different units.
- General Item WML
Multiplayer Tools
- PseudoRandom: A replacement for {RANDOM} in multiplayer, where {RANDOM} is buggy.
- General Multiplayer WML
