I almmost forgot to ask this.
Is there a way to make effects have a passive duration, or an eternal
duration...or maybe even an effect can call up a skill that has a passive
duration?
I am attempting to give units experience, which they can use to increase hit
damage and protection, and also to advance technology into diffrent levels.
Like from copper, to bronze to iron etc.
Right now, I have to put durations as ridiculously large numbers, lol. I mean,
it is doable, but a little weird looking.
Thanks,

Hi Ian,
I have noticed that this particular flag doesn't work in effect files.
Attack_health_inflict_mod=
What I mean is, the program doesn't recognize it as a useable flag in
effects. I have checked the spelling and stuff in my files, hoping it was just
some slip up of mine.
I was wondering if skill names in front of effect flags like this would
becomesupported sometime down the road, or if maybe that is not a big deal due
to changes you might be making. I just thought I would mention it.
Thanks for your hard work,
al

Hey Allan,
No, effects never stack in the current implementation.
Well, I mean the same exact effect does not stack, you can of course
apply 2 different effects and the modifiers from both will be applied.
I also want to throw out that I saw your issue with the
fizzle_replace_terrain flag with an instant effect.
I'm going to change instant effects to cause the same fizzling as non
instant ones which should fix the scorched earth scenario you were
trying to get working.
Hmm, maybe it also requires the new point change effects stuff, anyway,
hoepfully it will work soon.
A duration of -1 was planned at one point but I opted not to implement
it in the end.
A duration of 0 makes the effect instant.
I'm also going to look at how difficult doing splash_effects= on effects
would be for the issue Richard brought up.
I've been playing with some entirely different game ideas and have
started work on some of them.
I've also been working on the ability to download updated map packs from
within the game and will release that in the near future.
Cheers,
Ian Reed
