Turn System

Jenguinie

Do any of you out there know how to make a working turn system on GameSalad? See, each player has to connect one dot per turn in a field of dots to get to the other player's dot on the other side(starting point). I thought it might work by telling the actor(or somehow system) to only move one player at a time(a turn). Do any of you have solutions?

It should be fairly easy.

make an attribute called playerTurn (integer) set it to 1.

create rule
when game.playerTurn = 1
connect dot
then
change attribute game.playerTurn = 2

Create rule
when game.playerTurn =2
connect dot
then change attribute game.playerTurn = 1

Is that what you are looking for?

You may also be requesting AI so the "computer player" actually tries to win.

Sounds good, giacomopoppi, but I don't get how I would connect the dot in your description. How would I do so?

I think that sounds pretty good, but would this work in a situation where to move from dot to dot you have to touch the dot you want to go to?
