[SUPPORT] Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit

[Monokkel]

Hey Curiosichi, sorry for the late reply. I was very busy yesterday.

So I changed the code as follows and the error is resolved.

I didn’t want to change the base code and only make my changes to children BP as base class changes I plan to leave to you in future updates, but making this change did resolve the logger errors. I’d consider this a bug report but I can’t create a repeatable test easily. All I did was migrate the Sci_Fi project over to root and renamed everything and then this popped up. Sorry I can’t be more help with recreating the error; it did take a long time migrating the files and resetting up references so it may be hard for you to recreate.

Not to worry, I’ve identified the problem and it is already fixed in the WIP update. It is caused by me using the regular Set Visibility node instead of my custom one in one instance in the player controller. It is in a part of the graph which is very rarely triggered in the unmodified toolkit, so I did not notice the error message during testing. Since the error is rare and has no effect on the game, I won’t send an update to Epic just to correct this one thing, but it will be fixed in the next update.

Ok, I found another task I want to implement.

I want to move movement to be like an ability. Movement is tied more into Grid manager then it is to the unit/skill however, yet with the introduction of sprint and abilities, I feel like it would be better suited to use movement as an ability and I am finding its a bit more in depth then just adding a new ability.

I think I have an idea how to accomplish this: with Spawn Movement Tiles in Grid Manager Sci_Fi, as I see there is an array (Index Can Move to Array) and select statement that decides whether to spawn yellow or blue tiles, but what I want is to make sprinting and movement two separate skills.

Do you have any pointers for me to accomplish this? Is automatic movement tied too deeply for me to just change in the _Sci_Fi child BP?

Goals:

Make movement not automatic - it’s a skill to use
Disable sprinting after movement - don’t automatically show yellow tiles, leave this to logic of clicking sprint as a second ability instead of choosing to attack or use another spell

Its been a few months since I purchased this toolkit but I am finally digging into making changes, so I appreciate the guidance as I learn both unreal and the nuances of the toolkit.

You can do a couple of small changes that will hopefully give you your desired result. Firstly in the Skill_move blueprint in the Activate Skill comment box set the Move Range and Max Move inputs to Pathfinding to be equal to Current Move instead of [Current Move * Current Action Points]. This will prevent the yellow “sprint” tiles from showing and just find the tiles within regular move range.

As for making movement not automatic, you want to change this in the Event Graph of ATBTT_PlayerController_SciFi in the Begin Unit Turn comment box. Here, on activation, the first skill in the unit’s skill array is activated at the beginning of a unit’s turn (which is the move skill for all the units in the example scene. Remove the CastToSkill and ActivateSkill nodes from here and skills will have to be manually activated by clicking the skill bar.

Hope that gives you your desired result!
