I'm implementing a game where players pull a piece out, wait for the board to settle, then place the piece somewhere else.

I was hoping that this could be done as a partial move:
(1) Pull the piece out using a capture,
(2) Use add-partial to specify that the piece should be added back on the board using a drop.

But this doesn't seem to work. Is there a trick to getting drops to work as the second part of a partial move?

Thanks,
Cameron

Add-partial only works for moves.

Why don't you just give the player two moves in a row (i.e. a capture, then a drop) ?
e.g.
(turnorder
(Player1 Capture-it)
(Player1 Drop-it)
(Player2 Capture-it)
(Player2 Drop-it)
)
