  @beelee So for the first one: <attachment name="triggerAttachment_Battleship_Ordered_to_Vichy_Port" attachTo="French" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Axis_Conquer_All_France:Vichy_active:conditionAttachmentFrenchBB"/> <option name="chance" value="3:6"/> <option name="when" value="before:frenchCombatMove"/> <option name="uses" value="1"/> </attachment> I believe uses only is used up if it actually fires (you hit the chance) so you can't use that for what you are trying to do. You instead need to have another trigger that does fire after this one (say during after:frenchCombatMove) which sets a condition to false which is used in your trigger. As you also mention, if it only happens on a certain turn(s) then you could use the turns parameter instead. The second one looks correct except that if the BB would arrive before the 2 uses, it then fires once the BB leaves. So you would need to set a condition to be false once the BB returns so the notification doesn't show when it leaves.

  @alkexr said in Map Maker Resources: @LaFayette Hue shift isn't ideal in this case, because the white highlight is supposed to stay white. If that map property would actually shift the hue (only), white would remain white, of course.

  @ff03k64 You can use triggers to remove and add units but not to transfer them. For example, if you wanted to have a trigger to move units from Siberia to Moscow you could say remove 4 infantry from Siberia and another trigger add 4 infantry to Moscow. However, if there was no infantry in Siberia, the units would still add in Moscow. (You could however, make the presence of units in Siberia a condition for adding units in Moscow) It would be good to have a transfer trigger, which move units if available from one to another. You could make a feature request,

  @gabegolfer Air units not being able to capture territory or land at sea is foundational in TripleA. You could try making all areas 'land' areas and use terrain effects to prevent land units to moving to 'sea' areas.

  They give some tactical options to all nations considering it is the only unit without factory requirements. but I can still consider to remove them.

  @gabegolfer One thing that can cause this is the reliefTiles images are opaque. If you are using reliefTiles they should be set to about 50% transparent to allow color to show through. This is just a guess. Cheers...

  Hi @andrewthree This is from World War II Global 1940 2nd Edition <attachment name="conditionAttachment_False" attachTo="Germans" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="switch" value="false"/> </attachment> This still a little confusing to me how it all works but basically the "conditionAttachmentFalse" acts as an on/off switch. It's attached to the "Germans" who go first, so I guess try attaching it to the first player in WAW for starters. <attachment name="conditionAttachment_Mongolia_May_Change_To_Russians_Control_Switch" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Mongolia_Not_At_War_With_Allies"/> <option name="switch" value="true"/> </attachment> I didn't list the condition for this one but "conditionAttachment_Mongolia_May_Change_To_Russians_Control_Switch" means if the Allies aren't at war with Mongolia it can be activated when it's conditions are met. <attachment name="conditionAttachment_Russians_Conquer_Japanese_Territory_By_Mongolia" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="battle" value="Russians:Japanese:any:currentRound:Manchuria:Jehol:Chahar:Suiyuyan:Kansu:Korea"/> </attachment> This does it a little different than what you have. "battle" means those territories just need to be attacked. Doesn't need to be conquered. <attachment name="triggerAttachment_Russians_Conquer_Japanese_Territory_By_Mongolia" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Russians_Conquer_Japanese_Territory_By_Mongolia"/> <option name="when" value="after:russiansBattle"/> <option name="uses" value="1"/> <option name="players" value="Russians"/> <option name="playerAttachmentName" value="RulesAttachment" count="conditionAttachment_Mongolia_May_Change_To_Russians_Control_Switch"/> <option name="playerProperty" value="switch" count="false"/> </attachment> This part is still a bit confusing as well for me but I think <option name="playerAttachmentName" value="RulesAttachment" activates the first switch "conditionAttachment_False" if conditionAttachment_Russians_Conquer_Japanese_Territory_By_Mongolia" is true. <attachment name="triggerAttachment_Japanese_Conquer_Russians_Territory_By_Mongolia_2" attachTo="Japanese" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_False"/> <option name="when" value="before:japaneseNonCombatMove"/> <option name="uses" value="1"/> <option name="changeOwnership" value="Olgiy:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> <option name="changeOwnership" value="Dzavhan:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> <option name="changeOwnership" value="Tsagaan Olom:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> <option name="changeOwnership" value="Central Mongolia:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> <option name="changeOwnership" value="Buyant-Uhaa:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> <option name="changeOwnership" value="Ulaanbaatar:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> </attachment> So now that "conditionAttachment_False" is activated, the trigger changes Ownership. <attachment name="triggerAttachment_Japanese_Conquer_Russians_Territory_By_Mongolia_3" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Japanese_Conquer_Russians_Territory_By_Mongolia"/> <option name="when" value="after:japaneseNonCombatMove"/> <option name="uses" value="1"/> <option name="removeUnits" value="Ulaanbaatar:infantry" count="1"/> <option name="removeUnits" value="Buyant-Uhaa:infantry" count="2"/> <option name="removeUnits" value="Olgiy:infantry" count="2"/> <option name="removeUnits" value="Dzavhan:infantry" count="1"/> <option name="placement" value="Ulaanbaatar:Russian_infantry" count="1"/> <option name="placement" value="Buyant-Uhaa:Russian_infantry" count="2"/> <option name="placement" value="Olgiy:Russian_infantry" count="2"/> <option name="placement" value="Dzavhan:Russian_infantry" count="1"/> </attachment> And now they change units. Also you want to use "conditions" not "trigger" for <option name="trigger" At any rate, what this all means is, if Mongolia is not at war with the Allies and Japan attacks one of the listed Territories, Mongolia will turn into Russian Territories and units. Hope it's not oo confusing. I think I confused myself already

  @beelee That property name should probably be changed to something like "Use Multiple Combat Rolls for Best".

  FWIW, being able to specify unit stats at the start of a game is something I've wanted to build in for some time. Having to do triggers to get the same effect is clearly a workaround, so I'm sorry you're having to go through that pain. Hopefully some time in 2021 this will be a built in feature.
