Turn-based systems, know any good ones?

[clockwork2]

I'm planning on doing a space crusade-esque map, and for that I need a good turn based system. Know any?

Nope, turn based systems are easy to code in GUI (too easy to be uploaded in the system section). You'll need a variable (Boolen) that decides who's turn it is: Set PlayerTurn[1] = Player 1, PlayerTurn[2] = Player 2.

Now create a timer and every 60 seconds randomize variable from PlayerTurn[0-2]. If it picks 1 then it's PlayerTurn[1] = Player 1 ect...
It will switch turn every 60 seconds.

If nobody wants to do this request, I might do it for you.

Hrrrm, that's the easy part. But I was asking more along the lines of a action point system.
Like Final fantasy tactics A2.

You should code something so specific yourself. It's imho a perfect beginners project and not as hard as it sounds initially. You can learn a lot in the process!

Heh, ok! Any tips?

Well, if you want me to, I can send you my half-finished turn-based RPG fight system which uses stats as parameters.
To make it work, you have to make each enemy a hero so wc3 can read it's atk/agi/int (that, or you rely on internal values to create an AP-based combat system).
It's based on dialogs and cinematic spells, things you see in Golden Sun, Grandia 2 and the likes.
It also includes a half-done camera rotation system which needs some limits in terms of the maximum angle on the x-axis but it's workable...

Here is a Final Fantasy 7 / Chrono Trigger style active battle system I was working on some years ago. It is not quite finished but it works pretty well.

Heh thanks guys. I was thinking something along the lines of a mana point system. I appreciate the help!
