[SUPPORT] Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit

Well I’ve dived in as deep as I can in regards to the first feature I want implemented which was having both pawns face each other when combat initiates. I’ve watched your blueprint video too and it’s slowly edging me closer to understanding the “attack_victim” event. I know one of the nodes that control rotation is definitely “Find Look At Rotation”, I played around a little bit and got some varied results but not what I was looking for. Essentially at this point I’m learning by trial and error as I kind of just want to get a rough prototype level working as soon as possible. However, I’m still stuck haha. I’m having trouble with replicating all the nodes that are associated with rotation and I’m not sure how to link them, I watched the blueprint run while I was testing the game, so I know the general area of nodes that I’m looking for but still struggling to duplicate the nodes.

As to the second feature I’d like to have implemented, that’s completed beyond me. Also if your curious the type of game I’m trying to make is a game similar to The Age of Decadence and Expeditions: Conquistador with maybe a little XCOM thrown in.

I’ll try to help you along as best I can. Getting one’s head around how blueprints work can take some time. To get an actor to face another you generally just need to get their look at rotation and then modify the rotations of the actors based on the output from the get look at rotation node. From there you just need to make sure you fire the nodes at the correct time. In the toolkit this is done during the attack victim event. If you do the same thing connected up to event tick it will happen every single tick (note that the units of ATBTT have their tick disabled by default). I cannot be sure what you are doing wrong, but if you send me a screenshot I should be able to figure it out.

Honestly that sounds exactly right, then when going into combat mode I simply spawn the rest of the units in my party so to speak and the fighting begins. When leaving combat mode I erase those units and update their stats.

That is definitely doable. I’ll help you implement the feature if you find it tricky.
Ok,

So I finally got my hands on it and have to say this is exactly what I was looking for!
Only issue I have found is that the game seems to get stuck if the AI cant find a clear path to my character in the 2D game demo.

This is a bug I thought I had fixed in an earlier update, but it seems it is back (though caused by something different). It only happens in the 2D game example, which is quite baffling. It is likely caused by the way the AI controller reacts to the specific layout of the 2D game example map, but I was not been able to figure out the exact cause when I looked at it this morning. I’ll try to find a solution soon.
