Area of Effect

Module Design

Does Area of Effect has a property that one can test to see if a piece’s area is visable?
I have a Global Key that turns on an Area of Effect based on a marker value. At the end of a phase, the marker is reset; if i forget to turn off the area of effect, I must go in and do so for each effected piece.

Thanks

Mark

No there isn’t. You must create a property you can check - in this case I
would add a Dynamic Property to the pieces with settings of true/false. When
the AOE is on the DP will be set to true. And when it is off the DP will be
set to false.

When you execute your Global key you can check the value of the DP on all
the pieces - those that are true have them execute the command to turn off
the AOE (and set the DP to false)
