How to make it so the whole pathway can't be blocked

hman360

How can I make my game stop the user from blocking the whole width of the pathway with weapons (block the enemy)? When you block the whole pathway, it is impossible to lose. I am using a grid. If you need me to be more specific, just let me know.

As you can see in the image above, in this game, it will not let you place a weapon between the two separated weapons because then it is impossible to the enemies to get where they need to go making the game pointless.

Does anyone even know if it is possible?

What you need is to tell your turret actors if the distance between them is x amount, then you can't put a turret there. It's called magnitude, and Tshirtbooth has a great video on how to determine magnitude, at: "http://www.youtube.com/user/GameSaladCookbook?blend=21&ob=5#p/u/61/_p2s61XVZ0o" . From there, though, I really do not know.

Thanks this will help, but I want some actors to be close together but if there is a chain of them and the completely block the path, I want it to not let the player put the turret there.

Thanks for you halp

Sorry, I don't know beyond that. I don't have time to test it out on my own, cause Im building a new game.
