How do I prevent multiple enemies overlaping in this turn based hex-based pathfinding ?

Hi R0J0hound

Thank you so much for this.

Going through your code is the best way to learn a lot of Construct subtilities.

Everything looks as I wanted to. I'll have to adapt the attack part to my gameplay with attacking occuring as soon as Player and Enemy are in the same hex. Then two things can happen : 1) player is killed -> game over 2) Enemy is killed -> enemy destroyed and game goes on.

I thing I'll try a simple collision test between Player sprite and Enemy's to trigger Attack routine function and not trigger Attack when Occupied =2 (that I'll keep to allow player and enemy to be both in a same hex). And btw, it's more Battle function than Attack function, since it doesn't matter who attack who, Battle function acts the same when two adversaries are in contact.

I'll let you what I come up with.

Thank you again !

Hi R0J0hound

I think you'l be proud of me.

I managed to set up an Attack routine that looks pretty well.

Here's how it runs :

- When Player and an enemy are in the same hex (ie that hex occupied = 2), game state is set to "attack"

- a layer is displayed. So far, it is just a button but it is meant to have a battle routine with action choice for Player (use weapon, use spell). Here, when button is clicked, Enemy is destroyed, ie Player wins.

- Then two things can happen :

1. Player still has move points left, game resumes to map where reachable hexes are displayed ("show moves" state) --
2. Player has no move points left (meaning has attacker in the last hex it has been able to reach OR attack has occurred after an Enemy move) then game resumes to Enemies actions ("move enemy" state).

Since you can't read C3 files, here's a screencap of the commented code :

Still a lot to do but all this is on the right tracks.
