@Numetalfan Sweet !

polygon grabber solved the porblems - this problem is solved !

thx @all

@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.

The NullPointerException went away on its own. Don't know why, but I'll take it!

I like it when things fix themselves 🙂

@ff03k64 heh heh was just gonna say that I didn't think you could do both unit attachment and support in one trigger. But you figured out 🙂 Right on I like a success story 🙂

@beelee I didn't need a capital at all.

One challenge is having a mechanism to associate a game notes file with the game file. Having the two files with matching names and the notes file being suffixed with '-notes.html' might be easy enough. For example:

world_at_war.xml world_at_war-notes.html

@Panther the two HTML files are now updated to be MD, they'll render now.

@wc_sumpton I don't think that is the problem. I am basing this off of other maps that have fully functional user actions, and they don't have conditions in the activated triggers.

This text change is also the only thing that isn't working correctly in those triggers.

It seems like it is firing the trigger and making the change, and then calling the text to display, after it has changed it.

As i read what I am typing, it doesn't seem like it is as clear as it could be, so please ask questions if it isn't clear.

Ah, just saw the responses : )
The variable route would work, you are still duplicating the territory names, but at least it's more concise. 👍

Now for the last thing for these units. How can i place them in allied territories (assuming i have a rookie there)?

Hi Roger,

check

for this - I had the same topic before.

PR: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/7651

Thanks for pointing me to the property @Cernel ;

I'd like to keep updates limited to the game data assembly layer. That means for now I'll leave the "Control All Canals Between Territories To Pass" property unaltered.

We could even remove the <territoryAttachment> node altogether, eg:

<territory name="Quebec"> <owner value="Canadians"/> <unitProduction value="3" /> <kamikazeZone value="true" /> <placements> : :

Thoughts?

For canals, they attach to multiple territories, nesting underneath one territory would potentially not be as helpful as it could be. Here is an example of what we have today:

<attachment name="canalAttachmentCentral America - Colombia" attachTo="25 Sea Zone" javaClass="games.s trategy.triplea.attachments.CanalAttachment" type="territory"> <option name="canalName" value="the Central America - Colombia channel"/> <option name="landTerritories" value="Central America:Colombia"/> </attachment> <attachment name="canalAttachmentCentral America - Colombia" attachTo="100 Sea Zone" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.CanalAttachment" type="territory"> <option name="canalName" value="the Central America - Colombia channel"/> <option name="landTerritories" value="Central America:Colombia"/> </attachment>

I think that might be better as one 'canal' tag. It's a really good call-out - though if it's going to be a different tag then perhaps topic for another thread (thread created: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/2269/proposal-simpler-canal-node)
