Tim,
I have tried both $location$ and $LocationName$. Neither has done what
I want.
Here's the hierarchy:
[Map Window] = GameBoard
[Board] = Main Board
[Multi-zoned Grid]
[Zone] = Europe
[Irregular Grid]
[Region] = London
I want it to report:
"Marker placed in London by Player X"
What I'm getting (using $location$ or $LocationName$) is:
"Marker placed in Europe by Player X"
The syntax I'm using is:
*$newPieceName$ placed in $location$ by $playerSide$*
Does this make any sense?
Oh, and thanks for looking at that other problem. I do have a region
defined in there, but I'll take a look at that.
Dave

Oops wrong syntax - it should be $location$

Hi Dave,
Have you tried $LocationName$ ?
Also your Event Board in that mod you sent - You have only one region
defined and snap to region on. This is why your card does not seem to
appear on the board - it keeps snapping back into the deck pile. Add 2
more regions for the discard pile and bottom box or turn the snap off.

Hi all,
I am looking for the way to send a grid location to the chat window.
For example, I have a board called 'Map' with a zone called 'Europe'
with an irregular grid and one location named 'London' I want it to
say "So-and-so is in London", but all I can figure out is to say
"So-and-so is in Map"
I'm looking through the reference manual, and it looks like
$gridLocation$ should do it, but when I use that in my 'Report Action'
property, it prints out 'gridLocation' instead of the actual location
on the board.
Thanks in advance!
Dave Neumann
