Hi Jason, That bit, I don't think is possible currently.

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. >*********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** > >On 10/10/2006 at 8:41 PM Vassal Jason wrote: >I'm positive this is impossible, but again, doesn't hurt to ask.

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. >But, impossible though it is, was wondering if any of you had any ideas on >this to at least get a similar effect > >Thanks all, > >Jason > >[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > __________________________________________________________ Brent Easton Analyst/Programmer University of Western Sydney Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ____________________________________________________________ Brent Easton Analyst/Programmer University of Western Sydney Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
