8500 lines of triggers!! 😲
The map I am working on doesn't even have 8500 lines of code in total!

You can check it everything from there. I just can't update somethings via github due to wrong file structure.

The land AA's are no different than classic anti air units. 1/6 chance for every air units. More ground AA stacks have no impact.

Hi,

the thought with a "negative" NO is very interesting, I will consider it
It is problably the easiest solution - good idea!

@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.

@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 I saw it in a map from 1.8.

edit now that I am on my PC, it was war of the relic.

@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.

@Jason-Green-Lowe said

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.
