Assign piece to a side when drawn

[plloyd1010]

Is there a way to assign a piece to a side when that piece is drawn? I've tried the Restrict Access trait, leaving the sides list blank, and the "Also Belongs too.." and "Prevent non-owning..." boxes checked.

I have Side 1, Side 2 and Solitaire. Is there something in the algorithm that doesn't like spaces, or something like that? Some string handling thing? I am running out of ideas.

Is there perhaps a way to set a prototype in an equation? If so I may be able to solve the problem with a calculated property.

Did you try to use $PlayerSide$ as a variable in the Restrict Access List.
That would be weird, as each player would become the owner of the piece.
Instead, if you use a calculated expression or a random variable to define the owner from $PlayerSide$ once and for all, you fix it and make the piece belong to them only.

No, that never occurred to me. I'll give it a shot.

I've tried working with the $PlayerSide$ variable. Here is where am. The trait list for an exemplary infantry platoon looks like this:

The dynamic property to assign it to a side looks like this:

That OwningSide prototype is just to trigger actions:

The trigger action trait for assigning a unit drawn to side 1 looks like this:

I don't seem to be getting the action to trigger. If it is the Side isn't being assigned. Does anyone have ideas as to why?
