[SUPPORT] Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit

[Envieous]

I’ve made some progress with the coming feature update, though, and I just managed to add something really cool. The AI now takes cover into consideration when choosing which tile to attack from. They calculate their own hit chance from each possible tile in move range and checks the combined hit chances of all enemy units for that tile. It still requires tweaking, but it is so cool to see the AI make tactical decisions.

I’m hyped. Will upgrading to it be as simple as swapping the ai controller blueprint to get these features, or will it require the others to be redone?

Selentic: Hopefully that should do the trick. If you still encounter a lot of issues you can of course consider adding a dummy unit. This also involves quite a few changes to get working correctly, though. The central thing would be to have the unit in the initiative order, but not in the Pawn array and to always put the dummy unit at the end of the Initiative Order array when switching to another unit while the dummy unit is the current unit.

I’m adapting how pawns initiate their actions into a fire emblem type menu system right now and so far it’s working around the issue, but it’s good to know in case issues stemming from that appear when I’m done.

I’m also trying to implement units turning gray after they’ve acted to indicate that they’ve used their turn, but I haven’t been able to figure out a convenient way of doing this yet. Using set material is tricky because the parent doesn’t have a mesh to assign it to, and I haven’t come up with a convenient way to fire it off in each player pawn blueprint. Do you know of a good way to pull this off?

also also, I’ve been trying to find the point in the toolkit where it displays the attackable tiles of a unit it’d be great if you could point me to it.
