combined condition attachment for triggers

Zaroph

Hi all,

<attachment name="conditionAttachmentXYZ" attachTo="Germans:Italians:Japanese" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">

does not work

<attachment name="conditionAttachmentXYZ" attachTo="Germans"
plus one for Italians plus one for Japanese might work but looks ugly and doesn't seem sophisticated

and <attachment name="conditionAttachmentXYZ" attachTo="Axis" may not fit to type="player", as the Axis are an Alliance not a single player.

What is the correct solution to this problem?

Add in:

<option name="players" value="Germans:Italians:Japanese"/>

This option makes the condition effect all the players in an OR relationship.

@numetalfan

second question:

is it possible to make a count condition?

Let's say a national objective, where e.g. US gets as many IPC as the Chinese have countries with each country is worth 1 IPC.

Is this possible?

Im not sure on how/if you could do this elegantly in a single objectiveAttachment.

If you want some future help, I found that browsing the XML browser can be really useful.

Thanks, tested - it works, had to remove the ..attach to.. of course

I check the http://www.starlords3k.com/XOB.html
out frequently, however sometimes the examples are not clear enough or too unspecific. despite that a very fine site.

@zaroph

strange, it worked but now there is an error.

is it correct that way?
Is it correct to remove the
attachTo="..."

<option name="directOwnershipTerritories" value="Vishy France"/>

Your problem may stem from how you spelt "Vichy" at the end of that trigger

Numetalfan

@hepps

good point,

but it is
<territory name="Vishy France"/>

that fits to
<option name="directOwnershipTerritories" value="Vishy France"/>

so this is not the reason

@Numetalfan

You still need 'attachTo'.

When you use 'players', 'attachTo' will be added:

<attachment name="conditionAttachmentVichyFrancecaptured" attachTo="Germans" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">
<option name="players" value="Germans:Italians:Japanese"/>
<option name="directOwnershipTerritories" value="Vishy France"/>
</attachment>

will work the same as:

<attachment name="conditionAttachmentVichyFrancecaptured" attachTo="Germans" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">
<option name="players" value="Italians:Japanese"/>
<option name="directOwnershipTerritories" value="Vishy France"/>
</attachment>

Cheers...

here we go again

general question to trigger conditions

is it possible to combine several "when" conditions?

something like...

wc_sumpton

@Numetalfan

Yes, just not the way you show it:

   <option name="when" value="after:britishCombatMove"/>
   <option name="when" value="after:americanCombatMove"/>

Will allow the same trigger to fire after both British and American combat moves.

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton

perfect! that's what I am looking for

Numetalfan

Next one:

*conditionType Attachment option
Parents:
userActionAttachment Options for actions
politicalActionAttachment Options for politics
conditionAttachment Options for conditions
objectiveAttachment Options for objectives
triggerAttachment Options for triggers
Parameters:
value: AND, OR, XOR, y, y-z. Defaults to AND if missing.

Defines the relationship the conditions must have if there are more than one condition or rules attachment in the trigger.
AND means all conditions must be true.
OR means just one condition must be true.
XOR means that only one condition must be true while all others must be false.
'y' is an exact number of conditions
'y-z' is a range of numbers.
This option will overwrite prior occurences of itself.*

Is it possible to combine OR and AND

somenthing like ("A" or "B") AND "C"
in one single statement ?

If not possible in 1),

is it possible to have several
<option name='conditions'
in one statement ?

something like

<attachment name='userActionAttachment_Americans_Aid_UK' attachTo='Americans' javaClass='UserActionAttachment' type='player'>
<option name='conditions' value='conditionA'/>
<option name='conditions' value='conditionB'/>
<option name='activateTrigger' value='triggerAttachment_Americans_Aid_UK:1:false:false:false:false'/>
<option name='text' value='AMERICANS_AID_UK'/>
...

this would mean one of them can be OR/XOR while the other one is "normal"

wc_sumpton

@numetalfan

Simple answer is no you can not have multiple 'conditionType' in a condition statement, as you stated. The best way to handle something like ("A" or "B") and "C" would be to put "A" and "B" in its own condition statement, then add that statement as a condition when checking "C".

Cheers...

Numetalfan

@wc_sumpton

understood, thx

Numetalfan

next one:

..
<relationship type="Neutrality" player1="Germans" player2="Russians" roundValue="1"/>
<relationship type="Neutrality" player1="Italians" player2="Russians" roundValue="1"/>
..

</attachment>

...

and

..

should change War to both, Germany and Italy at the same time
possible ?

wc_sumpton

@numetalfan

Should, but what is the relationship between Germany and Italy? If the relationship is "Allied" and 'alliancesCanChainTogether' is true then it would be unnecessary to set both players if it is Germany or Italy declaring war. Of course if "War" has 'isDefaultWarPosition' set 'True' and Russia declares war on either Germany or Italy then they will be at war with both players.

But yes you should be able to change any number of relationships with a single trigger.

Cheers...

Numetalfan

so this trigger works, yet it removes excatly 1 unit and replaces it by excatly 1 unit of the other type

I want this one to work any time, so 5 bigdestroyers will be replaced by 5 destroyer,
3 by 3 and so on

count="1-+"

does not work

Any help?

beelee

@numetalfan to remove them you can use "all".

Unfortunately that doesn't really help, as it doesn't know how many to place. The only way I know of, is to make a different condition/trigger for the number of units.

You don't wanna go too huge or it'll slow the game down. At least it seemed like it to me. But you could try 3 or 5 and then use edit for anything more.

Numetalfan

@beelee

thx. So did I, but now the programm is doing stupid things:

If Germany buy one submarine and places that in SZ5,

there is a condition
<attachment name="conditionAttachmentSubGSZ5" attachTo="Germans" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">
<option name="directPresenceTerritories" value="5 Sea Zone"/>
<option name="players" value="Germans:Italians:Japanese"/>
<option name="unitPresence" value="submarine" count= "1"/>
</attachment>

and a trigger

this one works well, the exchange works

Numetalfan

oops wrong trigger

Numetalfan

but if Germany buys 2 subs

there are 2 conditions - one for 1 sub and one for 2 subs

and 2 triggers

but instead of using the second trigger, the programming is using both

G2subSZ75ET: has removed 2 submarines owned by Germans in 75 Sea Zone
G2subSZ75ET: Germans has 2 submarine_in_sub_bunkers placed in 75 Sea Zone
GsubSZ75ET: Germans has 1 submarine_in_sub_bunker placed in 75 Sea Zone

So: buying 2 subs, means 1+2 = 3 converted units
buying 3 subs, means 1+2+3 = 6 converted untis

how to avoid that ?
