SOLVED - How do I track movement with TileMovement?

I have an idea for a turn based game using TileMovement.

But, to do the idea I have I need to be able to limit the movement of player each turn and I also want to do an action after each movement.

What's surprising me is when I look at the actions under TileMovement I see: "can move" and "is moving", but nothing for "has moved".

What is the best/easiest way to:

- Limit movement per turn?

- Trigger an action after each movement?

I just did a search and can't find anything on "GridTarget".

It seems like there should be some action I can trigger, when a tile movement has taken place, but I can't find it.

If I had that, then I could easily setup a variable to track how many times I've moved and, subsequently limit movement.

GridTargetX

GridTargetY

Return the grid cell the object is currently moving towards, by its column and row.

Thanks for the link. I'm still stuck though. I'm not sure why this is so confusing to me.

I can't seem to figure out how to write the event and action that will trigger after a tile movement has occurred.

Does anyone have any examples of this in action I can take a look at?

do you mean you want to move the tile background?

and have a way of triggering next movements?

Just explain game a bit and then i should be able to help.

No, I don't want to move the tile background.

I have a Sprite Object named "Player" with a TileMovement Behavior. I can then use the arrow keys to make him move. This works great.

However, this will be a turn-based game, so I want to be able to limit the number of squares the player can move each turn.

In addition, after each tile movement, I would like to be able to do some other tests.

So, I just need someone to show more or link me to an example, where I can trigger an action after a TileMovment is complete.

Thanks everyone for your help so far, I think I finally figured out a pretty easy solution.

The above solution mostly worked, except the default tile movement controls let you hold down an arrow key and keep moving - which prevented the end of move action from triggering.

So, I had to turn off the default controls and then add this:

And, now, I think everything is working as I hoped.

yea or you could have done:

kb-keyboard

global variable default ==0

2 conditions and actions for every event

1)kb on right arrow pressed

2)and global variable==less than >=4

--------------------------stim right movement

--------------------------add 1 to global variable

1)kb on left arrow pressed

2)and global variable==less than >=4

--------------------------stim left movement

--------------------------add 1 to global variable

1)kb on up arrow pressed

2)and global variable==less than >=4

--------------------------stim up movement

--------------------------add 1 to global variable

1)kb on down arrow pressed

2)and global variable==less than >=4

--------------------------stim down movement

--------------------------add 1 to global variable

(4 is the max moves)

Uses 4 events

Thanks for the other suggested solution.

That's one of my favorite things about coding - there are almost always multiple ways to solve a problem.

At the moment, I'm coding a puzzle game and actually coding it sometimes feels like I'm solving puzzles. :)
