Thank you very much for the new functionality, however I don't think the
functionality I am asking for is supported. This new functionality means that
every possible location that I want a card to go to from the deck has to be
pre programmed in to the card, and I will need a separate button for each
location.
Imagine my example of Settlers of Catan, it is played on a board made up of 5
rows of hexes (5+6+7+6+5) totaling 29 different hexes. I belive using the new
functionality in 2.9beta I would have to define all 29 locations in the "Tile
prototype" each with their own trigger and then set up a global key that
fires all 29 triggers each acting on 1 tile found in the deck.
If I want to support alternate shapped boards I need to go back and alter
the "Tile prototype" and create a whole new slew of "Send to Location"
traits.
My proposal allows players to simply place the "Draw from Deck" trait imbued
pieces into the new positions and press the single Global button which then
would draw the cards.
I think there is great power in not having to "hard code" all of the possible
locations in to "send to location" traits.
