Hi Jason,
You are making too many assumptions :)
Comments below.
I think where you will run into trouble is with the Send To Location commands.
At the moment, the destination map is fixed, so each piece would need a
separate 'Send to Location' command for each doorway. Feasible if you have a
fixed number of doorways, and they would be setup in a prototype anyway.
I would add a multi-zoned grid to each map and draw a zone around each doorway,
giving each a unique name. Also add the auto-move key to each map (Say
Alt-Ctrl-A).
Then, each counter needs a matching Trigger Action and Send to Location for
each doorway. The Trigger for A will have a key command of Alt-Ctrl-A and a
property match of CurrentZone=A and issue the appropriate Key Command to Send
to Location to the destination for Door A (Say Alt-Shift-Ctrl-A).
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Brent.

Correct, however a Trigger Action can initiate a Global Key Command which does
affect other pieces.

True, however, you can set the Map auto-move key so that every piece that ends
its movement on a given map is issued the specified command. You can then use a
Trigger Action with properties to catch the auto-move key and do something
interesting.
