[SUPPORT] Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit

[Monokkel]

Hey great kit, the VR map in particular is excellent and I hope this functionality continually gets upgraded. One idea is the ability to spawn pickup drops /units.

Anyway I noticed you mentioned turn based pathfinding is mostly for performance. What about if all units could move around freely except with a cool down timer? This would naturally limit the pathfinding and the cooldown could be tuned per unit so that theres not to much pathfinding going at at any one time overall.

This would also be really cool strategy wise as you have to track all your units at once.

Thanks! VR features is something I really want to work on in the future. When I finally get around to making my own game I want it to have VR-support, so this is something I’ll steadily be improving.

You can already spawn units. Use the Spawn Unit function in BP_GridManager.

Though one of the reasons I don’t have real time pathfinding is performance, a just as big reason is that having to accound for the possibility of real time movement in every feature I add would slow me down tremendously and probably make the blueprints bloated and hard to work with. Keeping everything turn based means I can keep some assumtions constant. I’m not saying it would be impossible to alter the toolkit to allow for this, but for me to include it as a supported mode along with everything else is much more difficult.
