[Solved] [Trigger] Dice Movement

[almawt]

Hello!

For the last few hours I've been working on making a sorta fun little drinking game, that you play in single player mode.

So, I'm trying to work something out where when a player hits the dices (activated by an ability), a random number (2-12) is rolled,
the unit moves that amount of fields forward on the "board".

Here's a preview of the map so far:

Each color represents a different type of event (white is random).

What would be the way to approach this?
Thanks!

first thing that comes to mind is to give each circle an integer variable number and then order your unit to move to the next one

you can store the dice number in a variable and reduce it by 1 each time a circle is reached, so your unit moves along the path one by one until the counter reaches zero

you also need to track where the unit currently is at

Hi! Thanks for the quick response!
Could you perhaps give an example on how to store the units in an integer?
I have 142 circles.
Do i make a unit varible for each circle and bind them to an integer or how?

here you go, i know the setup will be a little tedious with 142 circles, but i don't have a better approach for now, i hope most things are self explanatory, obviously you have to adjust some numbers to fit your game
the reset cooldown is to prevent people from rolling the dice while the unit is still walking

hope this helps.

PS: i kinda like the idea, i may even go for a boardgame type game like this myself at some point

That's so awesome! And just what i needed, thanks a bunch!

I do have a problem which I'm unable to figure out how to solve.
For some reason my peon stops at the first circle every time.

hm, this part looks fine, does the roll trigger work properly? maybe you can post those, or just the map and i will take a look

Here's a more advanced example map going off of what UreDe4D was kind enough to get started. It'll definitely be a bit more confusing than his map, especially if you're still learning, but I figured I would provide a more advanced option that could serve useful down the line. (Also, it was a lot of fun to make)

I recommend some of the techniques here, particularly using an Ability to control movement. It gives you far greater control, for example you now have an Event for detecting when a unit reaches a new position.

Thank you, it is working now thanks to @UreDe4D, but I'm always up for learning some more, I'll take a look

If you ever intend to have an intersection with multiple directions to go, this method you've chosen will require a little adapting.

Drinking game for single player sounds fun. Waiting for moderator review sessions.

Here's a small drinking game I've been working on for me and a couple of friends of mine for future lan events that involves drinking. It works sort of like a board game where you take turns hitting the dices, and the color you land on will then determine what will happen. It currently only...
