[SUPPORT] Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit

[Mivke1]

No worries BP_Unit_Anim_Adv is just BP_Unit_Anim with the stealth and ability components added. Add these to your own unit blueprint and it should work just as well.

As for animation blueprints, unless you are doing something extremely similar to what I am doing I would recommend duplicating ABP_Unit instead of making a child blueprint. Same reasoning as for making a duplicate of BP_Unit_Anim. I think the only place I reference the animation blueprint is within BP_Unit_Anim anyway, so if you’re making a duplicate of this you might as well do the same with the animation blueprint so you do not have to code around the constraints places by my animation blueprints. I’m not saying that you should make a duplicate of any blueprint you want to modfiy, but BP_Unit_Anim and ABP_Unit are to a larger degree than the rest of the toolkit intended as examples of possible ways to set things up, but which I assume would require extensive modification to fit with any specific game.

Most bugs are caused by some annoying little thing I missed, in my experience. Glad I could help you find it in this case. In the setup of the grid manager is one function for looping through all units and adding them to the GridUnits map. I believe it is called AddViewportUnitsToGrid or something like that (cannot check as my UE4 laptop is in my luggage) and it is run near the end of the grid setup. Just like what I suggested for you, it loops through all actors of a class and adds them to a map based on their GridIndex value. You would do the same thing, but probably use a set instead of a map, since I don’t see why you would need to store a reference to the tile actor, only its grid index.

Alright, I think I will redo the characters and animation blueprints then. I think now that I know more how to do it, it won’t take too long. Always worth to take the longest but best route specially in the beginning I think

Yeah, I actually found that exact function but couldn’t really get it working until I read your message here. I did it like this now

Since I have my bDeployable inside the BP_GA_Tile_Hex I still do need the reference, correct? To be able to make the check if bDeployable is true or not. As I’m writing this I see that I’m doing that check (of course) before even creating the map so you are correct, the set would do fine and then just check contain versus the hit tile index… It’s so useful “talking” about this stuff, then you realize where you are making your thought error

Thanks man, got it working now!
Will be back on the next day I get a few hours or mins to keep working with alot more questions, I’m sure of it
