[SUPPORT] Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit

Thank you for the fast response . It is my pleasure to put more of my free time in this when you’ve worked so hard in building this intricate system of logic. I will edit my previous post with the corrected info after you answer this one and I get some sleep. Feel free to link to it too.

For instance, if you want to have the unit trigger an explosive half way through its movement you cannot have the whole move action play out and then play the explosion at the end, or the other way around. With this variable you have a way of knowing that new actions have been added to the queue.

This makes so much sense! That is very thoughtful of you.
1-Continuing with this example, if the unit stepped over an explosive, the explosion animation of this new action should probably be Queued with the Immediate Action boolean turned On, right? be queued normally and then have the Move Action be Queued with the Custom Index so that it animates before it. If the explosion’s Immediate Action boolean was true, it would play way before the unit moved. Maybe it should have the With Previous boolean set to True though? Now I’m wondering how to sync those two actions correctly haha, I think I know what the next challenge will be…

If you specify a custom index you can put it earlier in the ordering of actions. For movement, where queuing the movement action is called after SimulateMove (where other actions might be called), but you want movement to start before these actions trigger, this is handy.

If I understand this correctly, continuing with the explosion example, normally the chain of events would be this: Simulate Move>Unit Reference steps over Explosive>Explosion Animation is Queued>Simulate Move ends>Move Animation is Queued. And because we do not want our explosion to set off before our unit animates its move, we Queue the Move Action with the Custom Index so that it activates first.
2-I have to ask though, what exactly prevents the Explosion Action from just activating? I can only think of using the Delay parameter, but that would be its own can of worms when considering dynamic distances I’d think…Even if the Move is set at a Custom Index before the explosion occurs, this is Queued way after the explosion Queue Action macro was called!

This was lazy of me and I regret doing so, as it is teaches bad practice.

If possible I’d love to see a new vid on doing the same teleporter but “the correct way” (:
3-Speaking of bad practices, could the way Teleport Event was implemented be considered as such? AFAIK it is being executed every time a unit ends a movement. Even if it doesn’t get past the first check, is this not inconvenient, or does Blueprint’s speed make this matter irrelevant?
