Chapter 6: Building and Including a Custom Unit

Sometimes campaign authors only use mainline units in their campaigns. Other times, however, they may want to include a custom unit that isn't found in default Wesnoth. Thankfully, including a custom unit is quite easy.

Creating your Custom Unit's .cfg File

Add the custom units .cfg file to my_first_campaign/units

Example of a .cfg file:


Creating your Custom Unit's Images

Add the images to my_first_campaign/units

Including the Custom Unit in your Campaign

{[+units]

   {~add-ons/my_first_campaign/units}

[/units]}
