Hi Torsten,
A Stack is a GamePiece, so the documenation is not incorrect. Pretty much all
pieces on a board are in Stacks, even when on their own, so you will always see
this.
To get to all individual pieces, you need to iterate through the array of
GamePieces and if the GamePiece is a Stack, then iterate through the units in
the Stack.
See GlobalCommand.java for a way to do this with a PieceVisitor (preferred
method).
Alternatively, you can do something quick and nasty like:
GamePiece pieces[] = map.getPieces();
for (int i = 0; i < pieces.length; i++) {
doSomething(pieces[i]);
}
protected void doSomething(GamePiece piece) {
if (piece instanceof Stack) {
Stack s = (Stack) piece;
for (int i = 0; i < s.getPieceCount(); i++) {
doSomething(s.getPieceAt(i));
}
}
else {
/* Do Something here
}
}
Have added this to the programming FAQ.
Cheers,
Brent.

Hello,
the doc for that method states that an array of all GamePieces on the
map is returned. Seems this is not the case when stacks are in use, as a
hierarchical structure is returned (array of stacks, containing
gamepieces). I'm not sure if the use of Game Piece Layers is causing
this.
Bye,
Torsten
