Dynamic script problem

Hey everybody, I started to learn dynamic scripting, I'm having a problem.
I'm trying to create a militia who kills on one hit, but somehow it doesn't work, with archers it seems to work sometimes though.
This is my code:
- Code:
procedure OnUnitWounded(aUnit: Integer; aAttacker: Integer);
begin
if States.UnitType(aAttacker) = 14 then
begin
Actions.UnitKill(aUnit,false);
end;
end;
It just seems like OnUnitWounded doesn't really work, because it does with OnUnitAttacked
Is it maybe because of that wounding an enemy is random, and if so, is there a way to check every time a unit is hit by another unit, wounded or not?
Many thanks in advace!

Just want to add here, I'm really glad that I learned scripting, I made a script in the first day already where every (here 2) player can place their warehouse where they want in the beginning of the round with the help of beacons, I'll also give the code for you guys if you're interested.
- Code:
var CX: Integer;
var CY: Integer;
var PlayerTurn: Integer;
var WX: array[1..2] of integer;
var WY: array[1..2] of integer;
var WI: array[1..2] of integer;
procedure OnMissionStart;
begin
PlayerTurn := 0;
WI[1] := Actions.GiveHouse(0,11,3,55);
WI[2] := Actions.GiveHouse(1,11,7,55);
Actions.ShowMsg(0,'It is your turn to place a warehouse with the help of a beacon, press B on the keyboard to place one.');
end;
procedure OnBeacon(aPlayer: Integer; aX: Word; aY: Word);
begin
if PlayerTurn = aPlayer then
begin
if Actions.GiveHouse(aPlayer,11,aX,aY) >= 0 then
begin
Actions.HouseDestroy(WI[aPlayer+1],false);
Actions.GiveWares(aPlayer,1,10000);
Actions.GiveWares(aPlayer,7,10000);
Actions.GiveWares(aPlayer,2,80);
Actions.GiveWares(aPlayer,8,100);
Actions.GiveWares(aPlayer,10,80);
Actions.GiveWares(aPlayer,13,40);
Actions.GiveWares(aPlayer,27,60);
for CX:=0 to 2 do
begin
for CY:=0 to 1 do
begin
Actions.GiveRoad(aPlayer,aX-1+CX,aY+1+Cy);
end;
end;
WX[aPlayer+1] := aX;
WY[aPlayer+1] := aY;
PlayerTurn := PlayerTurn + 1;
Actions.ShowMsg(PlayerTurn,'It is your turn to place a warehouse with the help of a beacon, press B on the keyboard to place one.');
if PlayerTurn = 2 then
begin
for CX:=0 to 1 do
begin
Actions.GiveUnit(CX,9,WX[CX+1]-2,WY[CX+1]+1,4);
Actions.GiveUnit(CX,9,WX[CX+1]-2,WY[CX+1]+2,4);
Actions.GiveUnit(CX,9,WX[CX+1]+2,WY[CX+1]+1,4);
Actions.GiveUnit(CX,9,WX[CX+1]+2,WY[CX+1]+2,4);
Actions.GiveUnit(CX,0,WX[CX+1]-1,WY[CX+1]+1,4);
Actions.GiveUnit(CX,0,WX[CX+1]-1,WY[CX+1]+2,4);
Actions.GiveUnit(CX,0,WX[CX+1] ,WY[CX+1]+1,4);
Actions.GiveUnit(CX,0,WX[CX+1] ,WY[CX+1]+2,4);
Actions.GiveUnit(CX,0,WX[CX+1]+1,WY[CX+1]+1,4);
Actions.GiveUnit(CX,0,WX[CX+1]+1,WY[CX+1]+2,4);
Actions.FogCoverAll(CX);
end;
end;
end;
end;
end;

Every time a warrior attacks another one, there is indeed a certain chance that the hit connects and actually does damage; OnUnitWounded only runs when this happens.
OnUnitAttacked, instead, runs regardless of this (not always in sync with the graphics, though).
Also, there's no need to use player turns in your script...

Too bad, because I wanted to create one hit kill archers, but this way they would kill the enemy already when shooting the arrow, not when hitting :/
Is there a way to edit unit settings, like how fast archers can shoot and how much damage they do?
And I know that you don't have to use turns, but it's a little bit coherent, before you know it 2 guys create a warehouse just next to eachother, well, that isn't something you want to happen xD

Unit settings can be edited, but not through dynamic scripting (which means that such edits only affect single player and make it impossible to play multiplayer unless reverted).
And I know that you don't have to use turns, but it's a little bit coherent, before you know it 2 guys create a warehouse just next to eachother, well, that isn't something you want to happen xD
You could forbid that by using a distance check or limiting the available zones for each player.

True, but I think I found a way to balance the turns

This can be achieved by dynamic scripts only. I wrote this and tested entire week. SuperUnits will be included in new "On Foreign Lands 2" campaign.There's no need to interfere into game mechanics. Unit behavior is presented on youtube

Hello can i ask in script too ?
