Counting VP What am I doing wrong?

Module Design
1

Hello,
I would like to add some automatic VP counter to my Ticket to Ride module. The idea is this:

  1. When I put train into a region on map, it will set calculated property Points (which will be determined from LocationName).
  2. There will be global property called PlayerSide Points
  3. Any time I want to know the score, I will click on GCK toobar button and it will add all the values of property Points and set global property PlayerSide Points to its value so I can show it somewhere.

I have done this:

  1. GKC

  2. Global property

  3. Train prototype Trait list

  4. Calculated property

  5. Set global property

What am I doing wrong since after clicking on button there is no change in Blue player VP?
Thank in advance.

You are using the expression {Layer==Train} in at least 2 places; that will compare the value of Property Layer with the value of Property Train. I believe you actually want to check if the Property Layer contains the value Train, which would be {Layer == "Train"}, instead.

Note that for the SumMap function, this requires double-quotes inside of double-quotes, so you need to “escape” the inner set: {SumMap(Points, "{Layer == \"Train\"}")}.

I see you have a reply - are you still working on this?

Have a friend that knows the game, but not Vassal - would like to use it to ‘teach’ him Vassal…

I have finished this project. But I don’t understand. Do you want me to share .vmod file with you or you want me to teach your friend vassal?

If you’ll share the .vmod file with me, I can share with him and use a game he knows to teach him Vassal… :slight_smile:

Not asking you to teach him. :slight_smile: And I assume there’s a reason this isn’t a public project?

Reason I have never made it public is I made it entirely in Slovak language. Do you still have interest in the file? If yes, give me email and i will send it to you.
