trigger question - unit with hit

[beelee]

@beelee hmm...yea I don't think that's gonna work either. Because you can't place your BB then w/out a Damaged one. What is the exact scenario again ? Is this for the PH attack ? Or you want to be able to do this anywhere ?

Edit
Ok I just went through th thread again and I think WC is right, you can't place a damaged unit in game. Might be able to figure out away to make your scenario still work though. I'm gonna think on it some more

[beelee]

Ok so have the DamagedBB placed when your trigger sees all the BBs sunk. Might as well make it a A0 D0 M0 since it's not going anywhere. Then your -10 PU trigger fires when he sees it's there. Then at the start of JPNs turn have a trigger remove it. That way if JPN attacks again it won't be there to soak a hit.

@beelee

that was excatly my first programming, but this way of doing it restricts the game. I want the user to decide what he does.

If he decides to move the damaged BB to a shore next to factory it should be repaired, if the player decides to attack with it, it should be possible too.

I think the programmers should enlarge the "placement" function by the battleship_hit.

[beelee]

@numetalfan yea that'd be cool. I'd make a Feature request as WC suggested then, because edit is the only way to do it for now.

There's been a few more developers active lately. If it's easy, maybe someone will take it on sooner than later.

Might request at git also https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues then add Feature Request from the Label menu. Might get more visibility that way. I'd post it here too.

Trigger question.

First trigger condition....something like

name='conditionAttachmentJapaneseBattleships' attachTo='Japanese' javaClass='RulesAttachment' type='player'>
<option name='directPresenceTerritories' value='map' count='1'/>
<option name='unitPresence' value='battleship' count='1'/>

Second trigger condition

name='conditionAttachmentJapaneseBattleships' attachTo='Japanese' javaClass='RulesAttachment' type='player'>
<option name='directPresenceTerritories' value='map' count='1'/>
<option name='unitPresence' value='battleship_hit' count='1'/>

It does not work! There is an error

So how make a condition that checks the presence of a regular battleship but that has already got a hit in a defined territory??

[beelee]

@numetalfan do you have "when" set for your trigger ? If so , might need to play around with which phase.

It does find the BB, just not the damaged one ?

[Numetalfan]

@beelee

That was just an example. My trigger has a when...

Yeah. If there is a battleship in thst sea zone the trigger works. Is there a BB with a hit it doesn't. And ...battleship_hit.. causes an immediate error, the game will not start.

[beelee]

@numetalfan hmm...yea when the BB is hit it still calls it a BB when you hover on it so Idk ... you could try making the BB turn into a different unit when hit and then search for that.

Sort of what we were trying earlier with the "BattleshipDamaged"

[Numetalfan]

Hi all,

I tried

<attachment name="conditionAttachmentPearlHarbour" attachTo="Americans_west" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">
<option name="directExclusionTerritories" value="53 Sea Zone" count="1"/>
<option name="rounds" value="1"/>
</attachment>

I thought this coding would check how the status of 53 sea zone is:
If Japan did not attack or the attack failed, this condition should be wrong, there would still be an unit (battleship) of the American_west there

If the Japanese are succesful, there are no more allied ships left, so the condition would be true.

yet, it doesn't work correctly. I wonder why

[beelee]

@numetalfan I would try using "unitPresence" and"directPresenceTerritories" instead . Something like

<option name="directPresenceTerritories" value="53 Sea Zone" count="1"/>

<option name="unitPresence" value="battleship" count="1"/>
