This is similar to another thread where I was pointed to [insert_tag], which may be an alternative here, but I'd like to understand some things. I want to create an object in lua and feed that to [modify_unit]. I can create an object, and I can use [modify_unit] to add an object to a unit, but I can't seem to glue them together.
There's probably multiple things wrong here, but I've reduced it as simply as I can.
Here's what I'm trying:
I can see that the [lua] creates the object that I want, or at least something very close. But when I run the above, I get only one chat/print (from outside the [modify_unit] as shown below), and my unit has no [object].
I've noticed that it seems I can't do much inside [modify_unit]. For example, I have tried an failed to print/save the value of $this_unit in various ways, but whatever I try seems to be silently ignored. Can I use [lua] there? Is there a list of places where [lua] is acceptable? Is there a list of what I can/can't do inside [modify_unit] (I suppose "anything it doesn't say explicitly")?
I'm not convinced using 'return [object] ... [/object]' is valid. I'd hope so. I know I can do something like [if] [lua] return true|false[/lua] [/if]
I realize that because I'm using random I won't necessarily get the same object from the two [lua] blocks, but I believe this shows that the block returns roughly the data I want it to. Nothing follow this:
