How do I make isometric grid movement.

Hey all! first of i'd like to thank you for your time reading this, i appreciate it.

I am trying to create a tactical battle system on isometric maps, but i cant figure out how to handle the characters movement on an isometric grid. Something similar to final fantasy tactics.

I dont need the map to rotate or anything, while that would be nice its in no way necessary.

There is a game on the forums here, made with construct two that has the exact system I am trying to achieve. (grid based movement on an isometric map)

I can handle all the battle mechanics, its just the movement that i am stumped on.

Heres the game with the type of system i am trying to achieve.

(sorry wont let me post a link, even to its own forum untill i get more rep )

If you search the forums the game is called Super Nuclear Riders

Thanks again

Bump. I'd like to know as well. What I'm thinking is using arrays for the grid, and identify the movement range for each unit. Seems tedious...there might be a better way.

For a limited range, yeah that's pretty much it, but its not terribly complicated. Just have to look at the current tile and what surrounds it, so tile x+ 1 gets the tile to the right of it, and tile x +1, y+1 gets the one just below that.

All then converted to the iso coordinates.

I believe Rex has a few plugs to help with this specifically.
