Deck location Global Variable

Module Design

Oook

supposedly as of like 2.9 you should be able to use the Send to Location with variables. The problem is I can’t seem to get it to work.

Bad Data in Module: Attack [Send to Location] - Numeric field contains a non-number Xlocation[$Player1DiscardX$]=Player1DiscardX

I have a deck Player1Discard and I cannot for the life of me get it to the the X location of that deck so I can send the card to it. The overall plan is to do $$playerSide$DiscardX$ so that each player can discard their own cards to their own decks. However I cannot for the life of me get it to read any variable I have sent at it.

On a related note
Is there somewhere that lists all of the global properties that exist and how to access them? If not, why not?

There was a bug in STL with variables, see
https://forum.vassalengine.org/t/pme-in-stl/4398/1

This has been fixed and will be in next release (3.1.18)

Thanks for the list, though that doesn’t contain any information about a Decks X and Y location. Does that variable not actually exist? Or is it supposed to be CurrentX and CurrentY
