I say "possible" bug, because it could just be me not understanding something. It's a wml question, so I believe this is the right place to ask.
The code below is simplified from my actual campaign, but I tested it and the problem still happens.
I have these two advancements in my [unit_type] tag. One is the standard +1 Melee damage. The second one gives the character poison immunity, but has a filter to test a variable called "mushrooms". Both advancements work as expected:
You can see that both advancements also progress the character to a new variation called Stage02. The [variation] for Stage02 is below. The advancements are EXACTLY THE SAME, except the order is reversed. This no longer works correctly.
The code appears directly after the first block, still inside my [unit_type] tag.
The Melee advancement does not appear when the character advances in the Stage02 variation. There is no filter, and the max_times aren't used up, so it should definitely appear. When I look at the unit in Inspect Mode, I can see the problem. The [filter] for the mushroom variable somehow got imported into the Melee advancement.
So, the obvious work-around is to just not change the order. However, the actual campaign will have more than 2 advancements and I don't really want to have to constantly worry about what order I"m listing them in. Also, it took me HOURS to figure out why the advancement was not appearing, so I thought somebody else might benefit. (I didn't know about inspect mode...![:oops:]( "Embarassed")
)
So is it a bug, or am I just being dumb? If there is any other work-around, so I don't have to constantly monitor the order, please let me know. Thanks!
Edit: fixed a typo in the code sections, where I had accidentally put max_times=-2 (negative 2). The error still happens with the correct max_times=2.
