@unternehmer The combined game of Axis & Allies: Europe 1940 & Axis & Allies: Pacific 1940.

@ebbe

There is no way to combine resource/resourceCount, as neither takes a list, and entering either multiple times means one value replaces another.

To allow "resource" to accept a count requires some untangling.

You could make Feature Request for this.

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton Thank you, ensuring there was only one playerAttachment per Player did the trick! The Spanish are now truckling under as ordered. 🙂

@wc_sumpton haha, days of confusion, indeed...
... with all your advice and suggestions I got it working well, so consider the Issue with upgrading units to be closed and solved 😉

the exception for North Mino and Sawayama I made as it is a single inland lake: with a harbour one could build warships in there which I do not consider useful as it is isolated and no strategic extra value for amphibious assaults with ships as no extra terr.'s can be reached via the lake.. thanks a lot

@ebbe

The best questions are the ones that can answered by ones selves ... hahaha...

so :

<option name="removeUnits" value="all:Kobaya:Sengokubune:Atakebune" count="1"/>

was correct: but as I had count="1" it only removed 1 unit , ofcourse... so made it count="99" and it seems to work 🙂

solved it

map name is domination 1898

so needed domination_1898 instead of domination1898

😲 my bad! lol

@beornthebold-0 I sent my e-mail to you in chat.

@ebbe

The Switch can be very powerful, Grasshopper!

OR

May The Switch be with you!

Cheers...

@beornthebold-0 You could create an actual sea zone for the canal, with prohibited entry until a specific unit is built.

It's actually easy to make this happen. Here is an example in the map file:

<step name="AquellaEndTurn" delegate="endTurn" player="Aquella"/> <step name="AquellaUserActions" delegate="userActions" player="Aquella" display="Diplomacy"/> <step name="AquellaPolitics" delegate="politics" player="Aquella"/> <step name="AquellaTech" delegate="tech" player="Aquella"/> <step name="AquellaPurchase" delegate="purchase" player="Aquella"/> <step name="AquellaCombatMove" delegate="move" player="Aquella"/> <step name="AquellaAirborneCombatMove" player="Aquella" display="Airborne Attack Move" delegate="specialCombatMove"/> <step name="AquellaBattle" delegate="battle" player="Aquella"/> <step name="AquellaNonCombatMove" delegate="move" player="Aquella" display="Non Combat Move"/> <step name="AquellaPlace" delegate="place" player="Aquella"/> <step name="AquellaTechActivation" delegate="tech_activation" player="Aquella"/>

All I did was change the order of the steps, moving the "endTurn step to the top of the list. It works perfectly. You will have to do it for each player.

@Jason-Green-Lowe

From my understanding "Unescorted Transport Dies" no longer does anything and has been deprecated. Try:

<property name="Transport Casualties Restricted" value="false" editable="true"> <boolean/> </property>

Leave 'editable' equal to true so that you can change it using "Map Properties" on the main screen.

Cheers...

@thedog thanks for suggesting me

@jason-green-lowe

If it ends in "xxx...Territories" that is where to look, and count equal to or greater than the number of territories listed to be true.
'direct...Territories', 'allies...Territories' and 'enemy...Territories' take their cues from the 'players' option or 'attachTo' if 'players' is missing (If you use 'players' it is best to add the 'attachTo' player to the list. Some conditions will add 'attachTo', some do not, and those that do clear it out so that there will not be any duplication.).

"unitPresence" is what "xxx...Territories" is looking for in each territory listed in "xxx...Territories" value list. The key word here is each, not the group as a whole. PoS2 states that units listed together separated by a colon means "OR", this is incorrect. Colon separated list means cumulative.

So in your example you have:

<option name="enemyPresenceTerritories" value="@SeaZones@" count="1"/>

But there is no "unitPresence" telling "enemyPresenceTerritories" what to look for.
PoS2 states: "If missing, then presence needs only 1 of any unit, and excluded needs to be completely devoid of units" Well... I treat "xxx...Territories" like I treat triggers, always have "conditions" and "when". It's not always necessary, but the TripleA engine is very old, and there have been may contributors to the code, that assumptions may not work as desired.

So add:

<option name="unitPresence" value="ANY" count="1"/> <!-- If you want zero units add invert --> <!-- <option name="invert" value="true"/> -->

Hope this helps.

Cheers...

@rogercooper thanks for all feedback: this is the current trick I use.... but I like to free some space in the purchasing panel... 😉

@thedog That's interesting with the serial numbers. I tried changing my code to use serial numbers, but I'm still having the same problem. Any other ideas? @wc_sumpton

<delegate name="initDelegate" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.InitializationDelegate" display="Initializing Delegates"/> <delegate name="tech" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.TechnologyDelegate" display="Research Technology"/> <delegate name="tech_activation" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.TechActivationDelegate" display="Activate Technology"/> <delegate name="battle" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.BattleDelegate" display="Combat"/> <delegate name="move" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.MoveDelegate" display="Combat Move"/> <delegate name="place" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.PlaceDelegate" display="Place Units"/> <delegate name="purchase" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.PurchaseDelegate" display="Purchase Units"/> <delegate name="endTurn" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.EndTurnDelegate" display="Turn Complete"/> <delegate name="endRound" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.EndRoundDelegate" display="Round Complete"/> <delegate name="placeBid" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.BidPlaceDelegate" display="Bid Placement"/> <delegate name="bid" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.BidPurchaseDelegate" display="Bid Purchase"/> <delegate name="politics" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.PoliticsDelegate" display="Politics"/> <step name="germansPolitics" delegate="politics" player="Germans"/> <step name="germansTech" delegate="tech" player="Germans"/> <step name="germansPurchase" delegate="purchase" player="Germans"/> <step name="germans0CombatMove" delegate="move" player="Germans"> <stepProperty name="resetUnitStateAtStart" value="true"/> </step> <step name="germans1CombatMove" delegate="move" player="Germans" display="Naval Penetration Move"/> <step name="germansBattle" delegate="battle" player="Germans"/> <step name="germansNonCombatMove" delegate="move" player="Germans" display="Non Combat Move"/> <step name="germansPlace" delegate="place" player="Germans"/> <step name="germansTechActivation" delegate="tech_activation" player="Germans"/> <step name="germansEndTurn" delegate="endTurn" player="Germans"/>

@wc_sumpton Well, yes, I agree that the way I'm creating the feature is far from ideal. I've got a cleanup trigger that resets the canBeMovedThroughByEnemies back to false at the end of each combat move.

I would indeed prefer to have a supportAttachment, but my understanding is that those wouldn't work right now with the existing code, and I think tripleA is short enough on developers right now that it's not practical to request special features just for my map.

I tried switching from directExclusion to (directPresence + invert), and that did the trick. Thanks again for the help!

Just in case you have you not tried;
Game> User Notification> Show Trigger/condition Chance Roll Failure (UnTick)
and for Success, but you have to do this manually and for each map.

As Ebbe has asked above it would be great if the map maker could set this.

@wc_sumpton Lol, yes, you've found the problem. There's nothing wrong with the code, but I put the enemy ships in Sea Zone 127 while I was testing, instead of Sea Zone 126. If I put the ships in the correct zone, everything works exactly as intended. Anyway, thanks again for all the support. 🙂
