@rogercooper said in Problem with foreach:

I was copying existing code. If I understand correctly, "attachTo" is arbitrary and "players" is required to be sure that the correct player is involved.

If "players" is used, then "attachTo" is ignored. I only use "players" when the trigger affects more than one player. But to each his own.

@rogercooper said in Problem with foreach:

@rogercooper SOLVED IT. I forgot the variableList tags.

Would have never guessed this! Happy you have figured it out.

@wc_sumpton said in Making a unit attack alone:

The problem is with "isSuicideOnAttack". The fusion_bomb will be removed after its attack roll so there will be no bonuses given to enemy units because the fusion_bomb will not be there.

Thanks for the help. The first support attachment should be good enough.

The AA attack reflects an EMP attack effect from the "East & West" game.

@thedog various reasons;
Create an interesting visual difference between the land and sea areas.
Provide more complex land territories for more interesting and granular borders and front lines.
Make choke points on land more important because it's easier to go around enemy armies.
Provide some incentive to split up land armies, rather than keep them all concentrated in a single territory.
Make it easier for ships to defend a coastline.
Cut down on how many sea territories need to be calculated or programmed.

@rogercooper said in Handling Customized Techs:

The tech system in TripleA suffers from hard-coding, but it would be difficult to fix the program without breaking the existing mods

This would incur what one would think "fixing" would need to be done. Maybe "expanding" the present system would be better.

Either way someone would still need to define how the system is "broken".

Still, I didn't understand what was meant by this statement. Sorry.

@beelee said in Scenario Design on Wiki:

@rogercooper

I wonder if the "Axis and Allies" and "TripleA" is problematic.

When I started the wiki, TripleA was still in its early years and the content was less focused on TripleA. I have never received a complaint from Hasbro, Renegade Studios or anybody else.

@wc_sumpton said in What "canMoveAirUnitsOverOwnedLand" does and oughts to do:

@cernel

I'm sorry what I meant was the default setting for archType Neutral "canMoveAirUnitsOverOwnedLand" is governed by the option "Neutral Flyover Allowed". If "Neutral Flyover Allowed" is false then "canMoveAirUnitsOverOwnedLand" is default false, if true then default is true.

Wow! Sounds like that means that is supposed actually to be about flying over (and not just entering with air units).

So is the description of this option in PoS2 wrong?

I need to test this.

@rogercooper said in Standard Variants:

I doubt could doubt I could do upkeep, which involves changing the value of every territory with a property.

Changing territory values are not that hard. Check Mega New Elk's map. Territories are a list of variables. Adjusting their PUs values is quite easy, even though a game properly. Or a fancy each to create a charge. Unless I'm completely misunderstanding what you mean, which is totally possible.

@jason-green-lowe

I remember something about you working on that map. Hopefully it is coming along ok, and we will get to see it soon!

Good luck on your projects!

Cheers...

This should be the last update for this xml, since this is not an official mod for this map, I'm leaving the xml in a mess, but it does run. And is more AI friendly (isAI is not used so can be run with 2.5).

A "Russian Revolution" game option has been added, but if any Central Powers are AI controlled, they will not accept the peace treaty.

A game option "Amphibious Assault Get -1 Attack" has been added because the AI will not allow edits if they are already attacking. This is left true by default.

There is still a noncombat move, as the AI does not handle a single move game.

Enemy mines will only attack when entering or stopping in a sea zone. They do not attack when leaving the sea zone. They will attack during noncombat move but can be switch off in game options (Always on AA).

To recreate the game notes, delete the html file and a new one will be recreated with updated information.

As always have fun!

ransforms the AI game play and makes it very cut throat

😁

@beelee I've got this several times with EXP too... it usually happens when I do multiple test turns or mess up my real turn and have to restart couple of times. So I just quit the game entirely and restart.

hmm, oh, I missaw some of the sea zone boundaries, that was the problem. Yeah, it does work fine then.

@elf-491

Hi Elf

I don't remember exactly how I did it. This is what I have

<option name="isConstruction" value="true"/>
<option name="constructionType" value="bunker"/>
<option name="constructionsPerTerrPerTypePerTurn" value="1"/>
<option name="maxConstructionsPerTypePerTerr" value="1"/>
<option name="canDieFromReachingMaxDamage" value="true"/>

and I think you need this property too

<property name="Place in Any Territory" value="true" editable="false">
<boolean/>
</property>

there might be some others needed too

@rogercooper said in Can I have multiple types of tech tokens?:

Can I have multiple types of tech tokens which are used to roll against different tech tables? What I am trying to do as to have a "diplomacy" tech which gets you random allies as well the traditional tech type.

No. You could have multiple tech/techActivation. By default each tech uses the same "tree", but this can be manipulated through triggers. You could use a different resource to purchase tech tokens, but without removing the tokens, they could be used for any tech. But only tech tokens can be used to purchase tech rolls.

@rogercooper said in Can I have multiple types of tech tokens?:

Can I bias the tech table for a player by having multiple identical entries, making some techs more likely to be discovered than others?

Yes, just add the entry multiple time to the playerTech, or through triggers.

Hope this is helpful.

Thank you, please check issue.

Welcome to the forums.

If you are using TripleA 2.6+ I think you are missing map.yml look at other map.yml files to work out the syntax.

If you want others to play test your game host on Google Drive or similar for now, its far easier to update.

@black_elk

Right arm

I think the Notes were good where they were.

Just a blank space there now 🙂

@simon33

That's a good question. Idk. Seems as if it might, although it'd probably be rare but if that's the case, it could happen. Just have to try it.

I'd try and get it to work taking the french stuff first and then adjust as needed.

But yea, you could have a trigger that changes ownership once France falls. That's kinda how the Vichy rule works now, so I'd think your idea would work.

@beelee I got it to work, thanks to your help!

It turned out there were two territories still included in the place.txt that I wanted to remove from the module. I thought removing their place boxes would do the job but they actually were still in the place.txt, just without any coordinates. This caused the String Index Out Of Bounds error. Lesson learned!
