im guessing u mean a turn based system ? player 1 takes turn player 2 takes turn so on then back to player 1 again ?

if so it could get complicated depending on how u want the turns based on. They can be based on time or on unit movement or many other things.

the basics is u would have to store all units owned by each player in a unit group keyed to the players number. Then at 0.00 time elapsed u pause all units in every unit group.
when player 1s turn comes around u need to unpause his unit by using the unit group so he can do his turn. after his turn is over pause his units by using the unit group. Then u unpause the next player whose turn it is and so on.

units ?
it is possible although very hard to make a good one.

how are u looking to determine what a turn would be ?

a distance check can check for distance to see if it gets past that distance then u end the units turn. there can also be moves that determine a turn end like picking up an item. clearing down a tree. and so on.

Tell me exactly how u want it to work so i have a better idea on how to tell u how to do it.

like this:
If unit is ordered to attack he will move to his target and attack once when he finish attacking his target, he will back to his first spot then end his turn
If unit is ordered to use item, he will use it when he finish end his turn
If unit is ordered to use spell he will use it when he finish end his turn

yeah, something like that.. and just like i thought this will be very hard :\

Of course you can. You can even do it in a Final Fantasy Fashion with an energy bar and stuff.

It's all triggered. You play unit walk animation, or cast animation, or attack. You do triggered damage. Display the floating text. Move the unit back. Then jump to the next one.

You can even play with camera angles to make it look like a real battle. You can make dynamic fight (like units move and obey orders as they charge, and not one by one)

I know it's possible and kinda easy, but there are tons of details. However, once you find the right functions it's reaaally easy to achieve with some simple function callings, timers, groups, hashtable, etc.

Oh... this is easy in JASS, in GUI it's like finding a peace of shit with good flavour and taste.

It's 1:45am here. I'll may get into this later. I've wanted to make a system like this for years now; everytime I play Dragon Quest games i dream about transfering one of those to Wc3.

Do you want this turn thing to be like the random encounters on common rpg's? Where you're in the world map and suddenly get transfered to some battle field with the monsters?

I tried to do something like this in my Gsu'h Will map once, but I just did the battle field and random encounters part taking advantage of Wc3 battle system. Never went deep with the turns stuff.

BTW, I've also dreamed with making an Eye of the Beholder game like

yh, that's it..
so it's like we have 4 companions, but not suddenly.. we have to attack the monster :\
so 1st unit -> 2nd unit -> 3rd unit -> 4th unit -> 1st monster -> 2nd monster -> 1st unit
something like that

Actually you have to save the data of each monster type in a Hashtable, then loop through the allies and enemies, and set the attack order based on their agility/speed.

The hardes part is the monster AI.

Okay, the map is the duel system I made long time ago, Im tryin the Turn system not only for every player but for all units...Just for fun but it's far from over coz Im too sleepy now...

JASS: 
library TS initializer init uses DamageEvent, TimerUtils, Table

globals
    private Table chk
    private TableArray tb
    private TableArray atk
    private integer DATA
    private integer Counter = 0
endglobals

private function UnitAlive takes unit u returns boolean
    return not IsUnitType(u, UNIT_TYPE_DEAD)
endfunction

private function Grp takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u = GetEnumUnit()
    if chk.has(GetHandleId(u)) then
        set Counter = Counter + 1
    endif
    set u = null
endfunction

private function GrpRemove takes nothing returns nothing
    call chk.remove(GetHandleId(GetEnumUnit()))

private function Dam takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer id = GetHandleId(source)
