[SUPPORT] Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit

[Monokkel]

@Taken

Hey man, this system is incredible and I am super happy with my purchase. I have a quick question before I go in to develop my turn system. I am designing a pvp board game/RTS hybrid which will have multiple phases during each playing round. The phases of play will be as follows:

Collect: get resources from resource nodes each player controls on the board.
Recruit: Pay resources to summon/spawn units from buildings.
Move: Each player will first select where they want to move each unit, then each unit moves simultaneously after the “move” turn is over. This way the opponent doesn’t know where each player will move until everybody as already committed to their movement, making each move turn exciting and unpredictable.
Action: Now each player attacks/defends/uses abilities based on initiative. Just like you already have it set up.
Build: Final phase where workers can build structures and upgrade buildings.

After that it resets back to the Collect phase and the round begins. Any advice on how best to set this up would be majorly helpful and will save me a lot of time! Thank you so much

Hello Taken, glad you like the toolkit! In the Real Time Strategy mode you will obviously not have that much use for much of the toolkit and you should set this up in whatever way you see best. The one thing you’ll probably want to use is the GridLocations in the grid manager, to keep the end points of movement and placement of buildings on the grid.

For transitioning from real time to turn based I recommend taking a look at my hybrid third person/TBS map in Maps/Experimental/Hybrid. You could do something similar to what I’m doing for the player unit, only for all units.

Love it,
It is perfect thank you Monkkel, I will leave you alone for a while now and get to work.

Best of luck!

I’m trying to use the procedurally generated grid but it seems imprecise and there’s usually a bit of visible blue tile overlap on the edges of things, because my map is not square. What’s the best way to manually place invisible tiles so that I can set tiles up very precisely?

Hmm, hard to know what is going on here. As long as your grid manager is at 0,0,0 and you generate your map based on a grid the size of the tiles it should work. Can you post a screenshot?
