Hey there,
I'm attempting to make a 'dota auto chess' / 'teamfight tactics' clone.
(this is a terrible idea for a noob like me, if you have a suggestion for an easy idea which I might find satisfying to help me learn some of the basics I'll need to know to do a good job at something like this, I'd much appreciate it!)
I have 8 player arenas, each with 8 columns and 7 rows of chess tiles. The players' units are intended to be triggered to move only from tile to tile, and only be able to attack if they are within range from the tile they are standing on.
I'd like to know if the correct method to handle all this location-sorting jazz is to use a bajillion regions, and if that would be the recommended method, how can I rename a bajillion regions in a more user friendly way than 1-by-1 selecting them and editing properties? (I figured out double-clicking the region, which helps, but is still a pretty big pain)
Hopefully it's a simple answer such as, "don't put those regions in manually! you should generate them with triggers!" or "just open up this file in eclipse and you'll find all the region labels in this section"
For visual aide, here's a screenshot.
Thanks!
