A scouting party is sent to find a legendary cave hidden somewhere deep in the mountains. The scouts return, unable to speak due to the overwhelming things they had discovered.

I've waited forever to update the unit WML part of the wiki, and I will now use this time to contribute to the wiki.


Unit WML Part One.

This is a basic unit file.

To begin we will put the following lines of code into our favorite text editor and then edit


(I'll do this instead of breaking it up into small pieces. Get rid of the numbers behind the code!)

 1. #textdomain wesnoth-MAE # (The eras initials, MAE stand for My Awesome Era)
 2. [unit_type]
 3.     id=ERA-name-of-unit
 4.     name= _ "Name of unit"
 5.     race=name of race
 6.     image="path/to/image.png"
 7.     profile="path/to/portrait.png"
 8.     ellipse="misc/ellipse" # (We'll use the default one for now)
 9.     {MAGENTA_IS_THE_TEAM_COLOR}
10.    hitpoints=1000000
11.    movement_type=smallfoot  # (we'll get to this later but for now use smallfoot)
12.    movement=6 # (quite obvious)
13.    experience=26
14.    level=0
15.    alignment=neutral
16.    advances_to=unit name # (always separate choices with a comma)
17.    # undead_variation= # (use mounted if it's a horse unit)
18.    cost=8
19.    usage= # (fighter,mixedfighter,healer etc...)
20.    description= _ "A small description of the unit."
21.    die_sound=diesound.ogg # (look at mainline unit files for an example)
22.    [portrait]
23.        size=400
24.        side="left"
25.        mirror="false"
26.        image="path/to/portrait.png"
27.     [/portrait]
28.     [attack]
29.        name=spear
30.        description=_ "spear"
31.        type=pierce
32.        range=melee
33.        damage=4
34.        number=2
35.     [/attack]
36. [/unit_type]
