[SUPPORT] Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit

@Latimed

Hello,

I have two main things that I want to achieve with the grid manager but I need some insight:

1/ I want the units to be able to walk through friendly units (which is already implemented) BUT when a unit is targeting an enemy and moving towards it and there is a friendly unit right next to the enemy unit it shouldn’t stop on the same tile as that unit, so basically we can’t have 2 units idle on the same tile.

That sounds like a bug. I’m not able to replicate it, though. Could you give me the steps to reproduce the bug?

@Latimed

2/ I want to change how the path finding spline works, right now each time you enter a new tile it clears the previous path and recreate a new one with the shortest path possible, I want it to continue moving from last hovered tile, for example I hovered a tile1 it creates the path then I moved to tile10 it continues from the existing path to tile1 and create a path from that path already created to the tile10. Is there an option to activate that result or do I need to implement it, if it’s the 2nd choice then can you give me an insight on how and where to achieve this.

Thanks.

You should be able to do all of this by modifying an ability. If you take BP_Ability_Move as a base, you could store the current displayed path when you press a key (storing the current PathIndexes array). You would also store the grid index of the marked tile and the movement cost of moving to this tile. From then on, in the hover event, you would run pathfinding from the stored grid index, with a move range equaling the move range of the unit minus the stored cost. You would then append the stored path indexes of the indexes generated in the hover event when displaying the movement spline. When choosing to move you would get the entire current path and feed this into a the MoveCustomPath event of BP_Unit. This is the general approach I would use. I know it is a bit to follow, but try it out, and if you run into difficulties let me know and I will try my hand at making it.
