$gridLocation$, $previousLocation$ and $location$ are used in the map window to determine the previous and current location in a report when a piece is moved but …
It seems that it’s impossible to use these variables in a trigger trait condition … for a piece
… by the matching condition and the values are never seen
Why i want to use it ?? simply because i want to consider that a moving piece in the same Hex Grid location is not a real move then a trigger could “unmove” the piece …
It could be useful to wargamer if i move to the A5 (Hex Grid location) then my objectives are fully reached … and a trigger can add victory points
Can someone know how to compare the previous and the current location for a piece ???
It works only in a Trigger Action is the matching properties are like :
LocationName = A4 (Hex Grid Location)
OldLocationName = B6 (Hex Grid Location)
But not when i try in the properties of the Trigger :
LocationName = OldLocationName
I even used a Dynamic property for each to store
$LocationName$ and $OldLocationName$ to bypass this !!!
But same results when i compare AZone = BZone in a Trigger Action(dynamic properties filled by previous and current location)…
I can see All PERFECTLY in a text label using $LocationName$ and $OldLocationName$… but still impossible to compare in a Trigger properties matching line ???
otherwise you would be comparing the LocationName with the string “OldLocationName” in the same way that LocationName = A4 compares the location to “A4”.
However, there is a bug in 3.0.x Vassal that prevents this from working - It is fixed in version 3.1.
