Set Global Property

Technical Support & Bugs
1

When I use this command I get the following error:
Bad Data in Module: Aide de Camp [Set Global Property - Turn] - Unable to locate Global Property in Named Map. Property Expression=[{gp_Turn}], Property Name=0].

I have tried with the default “Current Zone/Current Map/Module” and I have not decoded how to use the expression builder to enter the correct property when select the non default value.

Global Property is in the Global Properties folder

I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

How are you specifying the Global Property in the Set Global Property trait ?

Here are the setting:
[Global Properties]
gp_Phase
initial value: 0
It is numeric
Min value 0
Max value 8
It is wrap around

Set Global Property (which is part of a piece in an At-Start Stack)

Global Property Name {gp_Phase}
Located Property … Current Zone/Current Map/Module
It is numeric
Min value 0
Max value 8
It is wrap
Key Command CTRL+P
Type Increment numeric value
Increment by 1

I have not change any other setting for this action; I an not sure if I now need to set a switch in map or somewhere.

Thanks

Ok… try putting quotes around the property name, thus {“gp _Phase”}

Curly braces invokes the beanshell expression parser and that works differently from legacy mode as to how property names are handled. Without the quotes, vassal is trying to find a property with the name of whatever the content of gp_Phase is. In hindsight, I can see this from the original error message where you intended the property name to be gp_Turn, which had a value of zero (0). Vassal was looking for a property with a name “0”.

Hope this helps,

Sorry for the delay. I went on the trip and got Covid. Was in quarantine, etc. Finally back to normal. Your suggestion of {“name”} worked. Thank you sir.
