User action bug? or is this working as intended?

ff03k64

I have a user action that activates a trigger. That trigger does some stuff to units (promotions), and then changes the user action so that the next time it calls a different trigger (next promotion). I also have it change the text that gets displayed, but it is actually changing that before it gets displayed.
Worded another way, I am giving a unit a promotion via user action, but i am getting the text for the next promotion after that.
I am getting the correct stat changes though.

Triggers without 'conditions', as I understand it, are always considered 'true' so the first 3 triggers are firing even without the 'activateTrigger' of another trigger. To keep these triggers from firing, create a 'false' condition:

<attachment name="conditionAttachmentAlwaysFalse" attachTo="XCOM" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">
   <option name="switch" value="false"/>
</attachment>

Then add that condition to the other trigger. Now these trigger will only be fired by the last trigger because 'testConditions' is set to 'false'.

Hope this is helpful.

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton I don't think that is the problem. I am basing this off of other maps that have fully functional user actions, and they don't have conditions in the activated triggers.

This text change is also the only thing that isn't working correctly in those triggers.

It seems like it is firing the trigger and making the change, and then calling the text to display, after it has changed it.

As i read what I am typing, it doesn't seem like it is as clear as it could be, so please ask questions if it isn't clear.
