How do I count each movement / action as a turn?

I have a tile map that is the movement grid and I would like every tile to count as a turn. Also every action lets say a attack count as a turn. I have a global value of "game_turn" and the movement is done with a tween action. You can move multi tile map squares at once but I want each one to count as a "turn." on end of tween works a little but not for multi tile map tiles.... Any ideas? I haven't even addressed the attack or other actions as turns yet. Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this? Thanks.

You can move multi tile map squares at once but I want each one to count as a "turn."

Do you want to allow moving multiple tiles at once? Then calculate the distance, divide by tile size and you get the number of turns. Add it to the variable.

what id do. give each player instant variables. set to the tile they are on at the start of the turn (tilex*(tile width))

then, when move turn is over. and its battle turn:

so work out how many tiles they moved by their current positional tile to the saved original tile variables.

this will count as a direct route.. might not consider obstacles..

then count this movement score from their action points.

re reading it as turns. not a point based move attack system.

but still. that will give you "turns" 4 turns.

just a solution to a posted problem. if you want them all to pathfind, thats a bit more in depth

Thanks all for the interesting ideas. I'll keep eating away at it. Every time I think I have it right I'm able to break the turn count in some way. If I create a 2px transparent sprite on each tile-map it works great (on overlap) however that's lots of sprites. Only reason I tried that is its an isometric layout not a square checkerboard layout.

mate, gimmi a shout and ill try it when im sober/ the morning
