ApplyRules Structure vs Building any differences?
when using rules, I can say:

1) Building EnergyNeeded -50%;
2) Structure BuildingTimeFactor -50%;

Is there any difference between Structure vs Building?

ONE MORE QUESTION:

Is there a list of Group name aliases? Like Structure / Building / Infected / HumanArmyUnit ...

if you can do that "Building EnergyNeeded -50%" i guess it's not intentional. cause it's not written in the Symbols. it might have been an old script that they forgot to remove, or won't remove for the sake of old maps..

all the aliases are found in the map editor under "Variables & Functions" tab

Hello, to apply a rule, you need to write like this ApplyRules("WoodWorkshop EnergyNeeded - 50%")

This will reduce the energy needed. Replace EnergyNeeded by BuildingTimeFactor to reduce the building time of the woodworkshop by 50%.

Here is a file that @chabz made will all rules, entities and stats you can play with. Very useful when I created my maps : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rrTvMw9P932Q7kcZXQvS4MMcHfiNbYtEdN4dTRA516Q/edit#gid=812540755

thank you, but the list in the "Variables & Functions" tab are toooo limited, I've read all the rules used in Campains and found more rules.

I can just list all the rules used in Campain Researches:

//// LIST END Researches

As you can see, there are a lot more Alias available so I just want to know if there is a full list I can use. E.G. Houses = Tend & Cottage & StoneHouse ...
Mortal 9 16 Sep, 2022 @ 2:08am 
for some reason, I see "Wall", "StoneWall" and "WoodWall" in the symbols... "Wall" seems to be there for no reason.
But you can still use it for both stone and wood walls.
(Make sure you right it with capitals - or it won't work)
they actually use it for example in the guide "The number of walls is: {Count(Wall)}."

In the campaign there might be some arrays added that we cannot play with. However, with the sheet I shared with you, you can mess with almost everything (I achieved to get Rangers jumping over walls e.g.)
Btw, I understand you don't click the link, here is what you can play with (and there is more). The entity in the Editor are not exactly the same when you want to mess with some parameters of the game.

Thank you, I DID read it.

But it is not what I need.

I read ALL the data/rules in ZXRules.dat and ZXCampain.dat, SO I THINK I CAN MODIFY ANY SINGLE PROPERTY FOR EVERY SINGLE UNIT/BUILDING/RESERACH TYPE.

What I want to know is WHERE do you get all the list for GROUP ALIAS, like Structure / Building / Infected / Zombie / HumanArmyUnit / Wall, etc
Mortal 9 16 Sep, 2022 @ 7:36am 
"HumanArmyUnit"="Unit" in short...
from what you can see on the symbols list:
DoomVillage - for all types of doom towns
Dwelling - for all types of houses
Infected- for all zombies
InfectedBuildings- for all the buildings that are infected at this moment. (but not doom towns)
Structure - for all buildings (I'm not sure if walls or stake traps or stone/wood towers are called buildings.. so maybe not them..)
Unit - for all your army units
Wall -for all types of walls
Wonder - for all wonders
And that's all the group symbols i can tell you about. if there's anything else - ask the devs i guess.

Chabz did it, so I don't know. There are some arrays (campaign ones) that you might not be able to change (never tried so I cannot confirm). The files are in the game folder, but I think you can open it with note pad. However, I strongly recommend to create a copy of that or you might corrupt the game.
Mortal 9 16 Sep, 2022 @ 8:29am 
scratch that guys, do you remember how to make structures invisible/ignored by the zombies?
I did it before but i can't find this again.

You can also make them drop an object and make them jump over the walls like harpies. However, as it's programming to jump over walls, the IA path is kinda funky
Mortal 9 16 Sep, 2022 @ 9:35am 
didn't find the command yet
I tried the jumping it's pretty bad lol.
