Hello Starmn, Thank you for your advice.

A > global command will then send them all to the new map. Although my module/extensions are full of prototypes, I had not added universal prototype to game pieces. So I should edit 500-1000 "At-Start Stack"s and their pieces for each module/extensions. Sigh. > 2. If you are careful and take copies first you can extract the buildfile > and edit it.

"Place Marker" or some other traits are canseled if they have same key with "Replace with" or "Delete" trait. In VASSAL 2.3.2 or earlier, "Replace with" or "Delete" trait seems to take priority over other traits. "Move fixed distance" trait also seems to cansel other traits. So I guess traits that apply to specific game piece are canseled if that piece is gone. > You can use a global to both delete an existing piece and then execute a > place Marker. Sorry, I can not understand why do you use "Global Key Commnad" to apply some traits to a game piece. Any advantage? > In addition, game pieces with blank-out traits often cause the error of > ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException". > > Yes this happens if you use it with a Global Key Command. This error occurs even if "Global Key Command" trait is no used. With VASSAL 2.3.2, blank-out "Clone" trait always triggers this error. Some other trigger DOES exist, but I am not aware of it.
