I'm trying to utilise a ritual similar to the Dwarf Runesmith ones, the rituals that turn say a Dwarf Guard into a Dvalin's guard with Emeralds. Looking through the Modding guide i found this which looks like what i want it to be:
promotion <nbr of units>
Promote this number of units (-1 = promote to a commander) and set target unit to a promoted unit. Valid promotions are in paired "strings". E.g. addstring "Dwarf Worker", addstring "Dwarf Guard" will promote Dwarf Workers to Dwarf Guards. More pairs can be added for more promotion combinations.
It's under section 8-2 in the guide, under Ritual Modding- Mastery and Upgrades.
Copying that into the mod in the following way yields either a failed result, or just turning the unit into a commander without changing what it is;
newritual "Ritual Name"
descr "Blah Blah, story description"
level 2 (Irrelevant?)
cost 0 1 (Testing purposes at 1 gold)
start (Testing purposes)
promotion -1 (Change to commander)
addstring "Unit A" addstring "Unit B"
It seems irrelevant whether I use modded monsters or vanilla monsters. An example that doesn't work is Swordsman as Unit A and Captain as Unit B, the Swordsman becomes a Commander and that's it. Reading through the guide i don''t think i'm missing anything but if I am could someone point it out? ALso there's a transformtarg a little later, but i'm not sure on how to use it or whether it's what i'm looking for
