Making a queue based movement system

[Statharas]

Have you guys seen the way Queues work? It might be possible to bring in queues for movement systems, am i right? Is it worth trying?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Yes, the problem however is that the que is of a limited depth. Good for simple actions but for complex moving (eg for a tower defense) where they may have a lot of bends, it may not suffice.

 

[Statharas]

I ment a system that removes the queued unit, and moves the camera/unit selected.

 

[Dr Super Good]

No idea what you are after, you much explain more clearly.

 

[Statharas]

Player uses hotkey D, that queues unit D on the selected unit. Immediately after the queue, the queued unit D is removed, and the selected unit is set to move right.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Ummm.... Why not just make a trigger run whenever a unit presses D which makes it move right... Thats how most maps do it in SC2.

Lag. 10char

 

[Dr Super Good]

It has the same lag as button presses, or atleast will next patch.

 

[AionCannonzSC2]

think he means instead of doing a trigger on key-press, you do a trigger on ability usage

probably same thing, but the ability usage one might be worse because it will probably execute a bunch of non-relevant effects for an empty ability

 

[Statharas]

Not really, the queued unit is removed immediately after it's queued. Plus, you can keep a button pressed and the queue will repeat itself for ever.
