    Can unitPresence count total number of units that belong to any of a few types?

    @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.

    @wc_sumpton Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately the only effect seems to be that the single objective tab takes on the last name assigned. So I can rename the tab 'VPs', but I can't get a second tab this way.

    @beelee yes, that is the way it became... if a multi-hit unit is going solo... it is asking for trouble so in this case it is a defensive structure, which makes a bit sense... when all supporting units are down, it will be more vulnerable ....

    I assume they are impassable, so I would put them on their own layer. Even if not I think I would put them on their own layer.

    ps. quick follow up Q Does anyone know if it is possible to separate the flag and small flag used by tripleA for the unit flag displays from the images used in the menu displays? Right now TripleA uses the same image for both the stats menu stuff and the unit flag display (if you turn that feature on). But it would be ideal if these could be separate images since their function's are pretty different. If we could use different sized graphics for each we could get the flag display options for the units to be more flexible. Here's another example showing theFrostion roundel pucks for unit "flag display on = large." I sized his puck at 36x52 for the Declaration of War screen (it is upscaling/compressing as mentioned in the post above for the menu type screens) but it would be nice if we could get a separate image for the unit flag display. Some example screens DOW screen 36x58px flags [image: 1676107948670-dow.png] 36x58px Unit Flags on Large, Unit view 100% [image: 1676107955628-ships-and-chips-100.png] 36x58px Unit Flags on Large, Unit view 125% [image: 1676107962804-ships-and-chips-125.png] Small flags in Battle Calc, Unit flag on Large, Unit view 100% [image: 1676109801939-small-flags-in-calc.png] Unit flags on Small [image: 1676110103577-small-flags-on-units.png] Ideally we'd want to pull a different image/size for the flag display options large and small on the units, than the graphics used in the stats and menu windows. Like a smaller puck say. But right now it pulls from the same graphics. I think it was probably to eliminate redundancy when tripleA was first built maybe? Or maybe the image compression thing is similar? but anyway, the file sizes of the images are rather small, and the utility of having more graphics options would be very nice, especially if trying to do a larger map/unit display. Any ideas on how to pull that off?

    @wc_sumpton Thank you! This works exactly as intended. I appreciate both the solution and the fact that you took the time to explain what was going wrong and how to fix it! I feel much better now and I should be able to finish my mod.

    @cernel It depends on how much support is provided by Java Swing to render webp. Though, the big gains will be from simplifying the code and not storing in memory images that are unnecessary. The mini-map is stored in memory at full size and is constantly shrunk down to the small mini-map size (that is a large chunk of memory usage right there). So, a better format could have some gains if it is efficiently handled.

    I'm the reddit user in the screenshot.

    The newest TripleA builds fail to launch for me, but the nightly builds used to work until the June 15 / 16 build which is when things broke for me. Below is the error log when I try to launch any of the newest builds on Intel Mac with Catalina 10.15.8. And from my understanding, Intel Macs with Catalina support Java 26.

    If I delete the newest builds, and reinstall TripleA 2.5, then 2.5 will launch correctly. However maps won't load, and I have not troubleshooted that by manually loading yet. I will soon.

    Error log when trying to launch newest build:
