Is it possible to implement such feature with <code class="inline-code">lua</code>?<br> Since the mod doesn't effect any important in game values the OOS aspect is irrelevant.<br> <br> This is what I've been tried so far (unfortunately not working, player can't use It outside of It's turn): <div class="codebox"><p>Code: <a href="#" onclick="selectCode(this);

Maybe <code class="inline-code">synced=no</code> in the <code class="inline-code">[set_menu_item]</code> could do it? But even if it does, that has undesirable side-effects for what you're doing.<br> <br> And even if you can get the menu item to be invoked outside of the player's turn, I suspect you wouldn't be able to invoke the synced command outside of their turn.<br> <br> By the way, your <code class="inline-code">[args]</code> tag is misplaced there.

I'm not sure if there's a way to directly fire a synced event when it's not your turn, but even if that's not possible (which seems likely), you should be able to "fake" it to a degree. Queuing up changes and sending them all when the player's turn starts should be viable, for example. But of course, that means other players won't see the changes immediately, so I'm not sure that actually helps you in the end.<br> <br> There is definitely a system for out-of-turn actions, which I assume is really what you're looking for. At minimum chat messages fall into that, and possibly labels. But I'm not sure if there's anything that exposes this system to WML and Lua. I don't think labels or chat messages are treated as synched events.</div> <div id="sig695415" class="signature">Author of <a href="http://r.wesnoth.org/t37342" class="postlink">The Black Cross of
