Thanks, I shall give it a try

Thanks, I have gone through this tutorial scirra(.)com/tutorials/864/board-movements on rexrainbows gridmovement and understand it although I am have trouble moving the piece with the mouse. I have tried a few things but havent had any luck as this tutorial only covers gridmovement with arrow keys. I'm just not sure how to tell the sprite to go to a certain clicked position after selecting it. (I have set a boolean instance variable that is toggled by clicking the piece for the selection). Thanks again

Hi there, I've been looking into making some games for fun and have made some very basic games. I was wondering if anyone could put me on the right track with my latest goal.

I need help with setting up a chess like grid or board that my sprites can move on. I want a few sprites that can move in different ways like with different pieces in chess.

More specifically I want to be able to select a sprite, click a move and have the squares that the sprite can move to light up. then only once a valid square is clicked have the sprite move there.

I also want to make it so that if a sprite clicks on another that is within its valid range it will do damage based on the variables for hp and damage I have setup.

I can do this normally but with grid movement and restrictions on movement and attacking I have got myself stuck.

Any help would be much appreciated, whether it is a link to a tutorial that my searches havent found or whether you write up an example for me.

Thanks in advance
