I have recently begun using Vassal to implement a strategic WW2 game I
coordinate. Congratulations on a great program! However, Ive struck a
problem that has caused me to lose more hair than I can afford and thought
Id go to the source.
If you dont have time or there is a forum or some FAQ place I can go please
LMK and I wont waste your time. I have looked for one, however.
I have attached the work-in-progress module if you want to look at it. Im
using Vassal 2.9.9.
The situation:
The counters have their statistics modified from a Properties list and Text
Labels display the values on the pieces.
There are two prototypes (Allies and Axis) that I want to do 3 things:
1. Restrict the movement in hexes to the MV value from the pieces
properties Ive done this successfully using Move Fixed Distance.
2. Pieces can be placed under a Hide piece using a layer. The number of
Hides is limited by a Global Property by side. This works OK but I want a
piece that moves within 2 hexes of a Hide counter to reset the hidden
piece to unhidden. I have done this in a test module by using Global Command
but cant seem to replicate it in this one.
3. This is the one thats the main problem. I want a piece to cease
moving when it enters the (1 hex) Zone of Control (ZOC) of another piece of
the other faction (Allies or Axis). I get it to use a Global Command to
call another Global Command on the adjacent piece or pieces that calls a
Restrict Command on all the movement keys (Number pad). The piece should be
able to move out of the ZOC as normal, but only 1 hex if within a ZOC of the
other faction. If you move a UK unit into the ZOC of a Germany unit, for
example, you will see the Text Label above it (for testing purposes) stays
as 0 it should be set to 1 by a Dynamic Property, which triggers the
Restrict Command. When the piece is moved from ZOC to ZOC it sets to 1 as it
should but it does this when the piece moves out of the ZOC, too.
As I say, I have been able to make these functions work on a much simpler
module but not in this one. I am almost certain it is the ordering of traits
in the pieces properties but have tried to work it out logically (even
randomly!) to no avail.
If youve read this far I thank you! If you think you can help I would be
very grateful. If not, thanks for Vassal it is really a very cool tool!
Cheers,
Duane Vaughan
