Non-Combat Movement

[nitrofish383 d]

Hello,

Is there any way to make the amount of non-combat movement a unit has different than the combat movement?

Like for example, infantry has 1 combat movement. Non-combat, the infantry would be able to move 2.

Thanks!

This sort of movement can be done using triggers.
In Invasion USA I have the bombers and helicopters set at a movement of 4 and 3 for combat and then 6 and 8 for non-combat.

So before the Western players combat move:

<!-- Western Helicopter/Bomber Combat Move settings -->
<attachment name="triggerAttachmentWesternHumanHelicopter3CM" attachTo="Western" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player">
   <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentWesternHumanPlayer"/>
   <option name="unitType" value="helicopter"/>
   <option name="unitAttachmentName" value="UnitAttachment" count="unitAttachment"/>
   <option name="unitProperty" value="movement" count="3"/>
   <option name="when" value="before:westernCombatMove"/>
</attachment>

<attachment name="triggerAttachmentWesternHumanBomber4CM" attachTo="Western" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player">
   <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentWesternHumanPlayer"/>
   <option name="unitType" value="bomber"/>
   <option name="unitAttachmentName" value="UnitAttachment" count="unitAttachment"/>
   <option name="unitProperty" value="movement" count="4"/>
   <option name="when" value="before:westernCombatMove"/>
</attachment>

And before the Non-Combat Move:

<!-- Western Helicopter/Bomber NCM settings -->
<attachment name="triggerAttachmentWesternHelicopter6NCM" attachTo="Western" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player">
   <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentAlwaysTrue"/>
   <option name="unitType" value="helicopter"/>
   <option name="unitAttachmentName" value="UnitAttachment" count="unitAttachment"/>
   <option name="unitProperty" value="movement" count="6"/>
   <option name="when" value="before:westernNonCombatMove"/>
</attachment>

<attachment name="triggerAttachmentWesternBomber8NCM" attachTo="Western" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player">
   <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentAlwaysTrue"/>
   <option name="unitType" value="bomber"/>
   <option name="unitAttachmentName" value="UnitAttachment" count="unitAttachment"/>
   <option name="unitProperty" value="movement" count="8"/>
   <option name="when" value="before:westernNonCombatMove"/>
</attachment>

I hope this gives you some ideas on how to do this type of movement.

Cheers...
