I want to change the idea behind the trigger for protos in some of my campaigns. What I intend is for it to be used as a trigger for getting captured enemy equipment (similar to something you can get in PG3 3D). As an example, a german unit triggers a hex and the player is granted a unit from a random list of capturable equipments from that specific time (in 1941, on Eastern Front, it could be either a T34 or a T26 or a KV1A or a KV2 or a 12.2 arty among others).
For this I already created units in my file which are in effect captured equipments (complete with a faction tag for them). Now, I would like them to add to a custom list of quasi-protos which can only be acessed when hitting the specific trigger. It can be either a proto trigger or a trigger that has a custom list of units to be awarded (later option sounds more feasible as it does not break the idea behind the trigger for protos).
Can this be added to Open General (and obviously in Suite)?

The proto-trigger can already use the .xproto file (if present) since version 0.93.0.0 (24-Jun-2019)
So you can even set some proto-triggers raising "captured enemy equipment" and some others raising standard prototypes.Change-log wrote:* Trigger can raise protos using .xproto if parameter is 100+time (months to scan ahead scenario date).

Because I want it to be "not specific", but random from a given list.
