Jerry, Generally, for the FormatedStringConfigurer's in the Map component etc., you have only those variables available in the 'Insert' pull-down list.
The Property Filter in Global Key commands is handled differently and no, you cannot use $xxx$ constructs to access any of the FormattedString variables as these are interpreted within the FormattedString class. I can see a case for adding some more properties to the BasicPiece class so that they can be used in property filters: PieceName: Current piece name PlayerSide: Side name for the current player (not the owner of the piece). Regards, Brent. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 23/11/2005 at 10:02 AM Jerry Martin wrote: Brent, Thanks I phrased my question wrong, I was aware of those, I had hoped there would be one for the piecename, I am also unsure how to represent them for the currently active piece can the $piecename$ as used for reporting/messaging be used and if so what variables are avaialable, that was the list I was after. 1. When a global is run can you use $xx$ within the matching criteria Brent Easton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The properties are detailed in the user manual and summarised in the FAQ at http://wiki.vassalengine.org/doku.php?id=faq_modules#what_system_properties_are_returned_by_counters Cheers, Brent. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 23/11/2005 at 1:31 AM Starman wrote: In a global can you refer to a $piecename$=Test or will this just return the piecename the Global is called from. It would be great if there was a list of all the property/trait names that can be uses and the $ variables and what they reference.
