@A-J-K

4.22 is coming soon, i guess this would be a very good opportunity for a fresh documentation… Just saying

Already on it Just finished recording a new tutorial changing meshes and animations for units and more are planned.

Hi,found this via a google search for turn-based strategy + unreal, and it looks super-great. Only question I have is, how much can I configure the enemy AI? I’m new to game development, and scripting + AI are the things I’m most interested in.

Happy to hear my toolkit is the top recommendation AI is handled within ability blueprints. What this means is that all abilities have customizable code for evaluating the “value” of using a specific ability from a specific tile on a specific target. The AI loops through all these options and decides the best one based on the parameters set. Customizing the AI involves modifying this code. Note that AI is one of the more complex topics of TBS development and the system is pretty involved. It is designed to be highly modular and customizable, though, so once you understand it you can create all sorts of behaviors.

@ Sorry for the late, thank you it work now like I want.

One more thing please.

I would like to have a simultaneous combat mode. I explain when a unit attack another unit a melee range (1 square around the target) both unit attack each other at the same time.

I want it only for melee attack. So if an archer attack from a distance he dont take damage. But if the same archer attack in the mele range of the other unit he take dammage.

Can you help me to setup this.

Thank You.

I see, that should not be too hard to implement. Basically in the abilities you use, when it normally calls for just the current unit to attack you would also call on the enemy unit to attack back (provided it lives). There might be some complications I’m not seeing, though. I’m busy tonight, but I’ll try to look into it tomorrow.

Edit: Managed a quick test. Made a copy of BP_Ability_MoveAttack and added this to the end of the ExecuteAbility of that ability. Should be a good starting point:
