Replace With Other

A Game Piece with this trait will have a menu command that replace this piece with a different piece.  You can select any existing piece for the replacement or define a new one from scratch.

Horizontal offset:  The replacement will be placed this many pixels to the right of the original piece.

Vertical offset:  The replacement will be placed this many pixels above the original piece.

Match Rotation:  If selected, and both the original piece and the replacement have the Can Rotate trait, then the rotation angle of the replacement will be adjusted to match that of the original piece.



EXAMPLE:
  A unit that can be destroyed but still leaves a wreck behind can be given this trait to turn it into a wreck. This is more convenient than dragging a new piece from the Game Piece Palette and can't be accidentally undone, as a Layer triat could.
