Shortcut Bar - Grid Movement - Icon/Descriptions Tooltip

Krixus

My issue is that for phase-based combat, I have the grid move command assigned to the shortcut bar. On the shortcut bar, there is no icon and no description or tooltip to trigger when hovering over the grid move command on the shortcut bar.

I vaguely recall in ORK 2, if you defined the grid move command in the battle menu it would pull from there but other than that, I cannot find anywhere else in the editor where I can define an icon/description or add tooltip to the grid move command for it to show on the shortcut bar.

You can define the content for special commands (like grid move) in Battles > Battle Texts in the Special Commands Content settings.

Thanks, this is resolved now.

So, something else came up related to grid movement and the shortcut bar.

Due to my battle design/setup (phase) I have to set the "Grid Move Cost" to 0. Moving across the grid consumes 2 AP.

My turns do not auto end either so what happens is if you end up using all your AP the "Grid Move Command" on the shortcut bar is still active but since moving also costs AP you cannot move anywhere.

As such, I need an option to make the "Grid Move Command" inactive when AP reaches 0 as currently it will appear active when at 0 AP but that is misleading because even if you can activate the command you can't move.

Setting the "Grid Move Cost" from 0 to 1 would not fix the issue either as I have set it so that you can use grid move command multiple times and even if you use it once it would consume the 1 AP which would work as a check however I specifically need the cost to remain 0.

Is there a setting that makes "Grid Move Command" invalid if AP reaches 0, or can you add it? Currently it gets really confusing when the command is active but you can't move due to the combination of settings that my combat system requires.

Try setting the grid move action costs to 0.1.

Unfortunately, that won't work. Not only can the grid move command be used multiple times which would slowly reduce AP by 0.1 each time but I have abilities that cost 1AP to use, so in a case where I only have 1 AP left and want to move, using it once would set it to 0.9 and invalidate it. It would show 1 AP since I guess it is rounded up from 0.9 however the cost of it is still 1 AP so the ability is no longer valid when it should be valid.

I also really don't want to mess around with decimals and add a whole extra layer on top having to check decimals for use cost etc.

So, could you please add an option, like a check to make it so "Grid Move Command" will not be able to be used if the user's AP reaches 0 (specifically) despite the action itself being free? I can't see any other way to make this work.

I'll look into it.

Thanks a lot, this one is something I really need to get resolved. Please keep me updated. Where would this setting be located and do you think it will be coming in the next update?

Next update will bring a new feature to action/timebar costs - you can define if the cost should be consumed or not. When not consuming the cost, you still need to e.g. have 1 AP (as defined as cost) but the cost is not reducing the actions per turn (or timebar in active time battles). This is for all actions, not just grid move, so you can e.g. have items (or only selected abilities) work this way as well.
