select the units you want in the stack preview pane, and press Insert to select just them for movement.
alternatively, select the units you don't want and press Delete to de-select these units from the stack. You can then move the residual pieces normally. ________________________________ From: the_chink_between <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 30 June, 2009 11:16:00 PM Subject: [CBML] Moving multiple pieces from / between trays Hi all. Can anybody help with this question? I'm trying CB for the first time and using it to develop a framework to support a miniatures based wargames campaign. The game incorporates the following functionality, vis: Participants will occasionally need to select a piece or pieces at random from one of their stacks on the board. To enable that, I create an owned tray with the properties that only the back (blank) sides of pieces are visible, even to the owner, and with the randomised drag function switched on. The player then drops the whole stack into the tray and then discards the required number of randomly selected pieces to a discards tray. The remaining pieces are then restored to their original position on the gameboard. Clearly, where the number discarded or returned to the board is large, that leads to a large number of "draws" if single counters are drawn each time. The ideal solution would be to be able to select many counters simultaneously and draw them all from the tray in one drag. Is it possible to do that and if so how? (I can't seem to make it work. The multiple selection works but as soon as I try to "grab" the group, the selection comes off.) Any help or steer greatly appreciated.
