Can't get changeOwnership to work.

As the trigger name suggests, I want to create the possiblity for Germany to "anschluss" Austria, where all Austrian territories and units become controlled by Germany, however I can't get the units to change ownership as well.

I have added "captureUnitOnEnteringBy" to the relevant territory attachments as well as "canBeCapturedOnEnteringBy" for the land units, and the property "Capture Units On Entering Territory". Not sure if that is necessary?

Lol it happened yet again, I found the solution just after I posted. I had to include a player attachment for Austria...

<attachment name="playerAttachment" attachTo="Austrians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.PlayerAttachment" type="player">
	<option name="captureUnitOnEnteringBy" value="Germans"/>
</attachment>

I was spending hours on this and couldn't figure it out, but I realize it 5 minutes later after I asked it here xD

Anyway, I have a follow-up question so this thread might be not completely useless

	<option name="changeOwnership" value="Bregenz:Austrians:Germans:true"/> <!-- Changes the units -->
	<option name="changeOwnership" value="Central Austria:Austrians:Germans:true"/> <!-- Changes the units -->
	<option name="changeOwnership" value="Graz:Austrians:Germans:true"/> <!-- Changes the units -->
        ...

I am currently having a line for changeOwnership for every single Austrian territory. Is there a way to make this a little bit cleaned up using foreach? I tried using foreach with a variable list containing all Austrian territories but then the trigger only works for the very last territory, not for the other ones.

<attachment foreach="$Austria$" name="triggerAttachmentAnschluss" attachTo="Germans" javaClass="TriggerAttachment" type="player">
	<option name="changeOwnership" value="@Austria@:Austrians:Germans:true"/> <!-- Changes the units -->
	<option name="changeOwnership" value="@Austria@:Austrians:Germans:false"/> <!-- Changes the territory -->
	<option name="when" value="after:germansCombatMove"/>
	<option name="uses" value="1"/>

@victoryfirst

If I am reading your coding correctly, then each trigger is being named the same; "triggerAttachmentAnschluss". Because of this only one trigger will fire, all the others are over written. Include the variable name in the trigger name so that each trigger will have a unique name.

@wc_sumpton

Ah OK, so you have to make it "triggerAttachmentAnschluss@Austria@"?

@victoryfirst

Yes. Triggers, like conditions, need to have unique names.
