    @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.

    @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?

    As i understand it, this should make each sea zone worth 1 PU? That doesn't seem to happen in my map, so im wondering if this might be related to the issue?

    This is a condition statement and is checking if player owns a sea zone.

    For a new TTy you will need the correct xml info and then do the centers poly thing as well as drawing the new TTy.

    I forget the specifics but I'd pick a TTy and follow it through the xml adding the new name next to it. You can add the connections later but it shouldn't hurt to do it now either.

    Once the xml is up to date, follow Elk's guide step by step. @thedog probably more up to date on it than I 🙂

    If need be, we'll bring in reinforcements if you get stuck 🙂

  • Hi, @TheDog

    I noticed the top line:

    <attachment foreach="$All-Players$^$All-SZ$" name="conditionAttachment_SZ_@All-Players@_@All-SZ@" attachTo="@All-Players@" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player">
    <option name="DirectOwnershipTerritories" value="@All-SZ@" count="1"/>
    </attachment>

    As i understand it, this should make each sea zone worth 1 PU? That doesn't seem to happen in my map, so im wondering if this might be related to the issue?

    I dont know honestly, but thanks for all the help! Let me know if you somehow find a fix!

    Another question regarding map creater tool.

    I'm editing a map right now (domination 1914 NML).

    and following this guide: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/3432/a-brief-guide-to-the-map-creator-tools-utilities

    Splitting territories in two has worked for me, but creating new territories (islands as example) works differently? I cant get it to work, i assume its different from dividing excisting territories but how does this work?

    Same goes for sea zones, does that also work different?

    Thank you!

    I think the condition that activates the trigger/condition has to come before the trigger/condition.

    Also, other things will still work but depending on where they're listed, will affect how they show up in the purchase window for example.

    Support attachments as well but I don't remember the specifics. WC clued me in on it. I need to look it up again.
