[General] selectable training

[Death Adder]

I intend to have Automatic training like in castle fight but multiple different units to switch between.

For this I have auto cast abilities activated to show which unit is going to be trained.

The thing is that while training the other abilities get disabled, so switching which unit to create isn't possible without having to cancel the train order.

The buildings that train units are owned by CPUs to prevent players from using the cancel so these things work against each other. (players can switch auto casts because I've given the buildings a modified shop sharing ability)

Is there a way for me to use abilities while training units or do I have to come up with a work around?

Have a dummy building that trains the units, while your own buildings have "select unit to be trained abilities".

Or..

You could have your buildings use mana that they regenerate over time, and that the units cost mana to train, the building will remember (through triggers) the last ability used and will continue to use that one until the the player uses a different ability upon which it will use that ability to train units.

Well that's too bad, the thing was that it would show the unit being built and the training progress.

Guess I'll have dummies together with name and time as floating texts instead then.

If you need an alternative,

Nice idea, but it would let people stop unit production though which is the reason it's owned by a CPU in the first place.
