30) Potential Attacker Grid Highlight

I've been experimenting with this new feature, great addition thanks GiL! I'm always amazed by the number of updates you put out for real.

Highlighting cells around the potential attacker in the schematic using Select Grid Cells -> Battle range template -> Highlight Grid Cell node (then I remove the highlights in the Potential Attacker Stop schematic)

They turn off and on fine when cursor moves out of range and back in to range.

The issue is that the Move Selection highlight vanishes after a second of pointing at a cell with the Highlight Grid Cell Node highlight on it. I can still move to that cell, just the highlight is replaced(?) by the Highlight Grid Cell node called in Potential Attacker, but Replace Cell Prefab is not checked for the highlight.

Move Selection highlight -> Replace cell prefab - Checked
Custom Highlight 1 -> Replace Cell Prefab - Not checked
Potential attacker Highlight Schematic -> Highlight Grid Cell node -> Custom Highlight 1

I've been looking through the settings and can't find another check box that would seem to affect this, what am I missing?

Thanks!

31) Class Slot Levels and Statuses not correctly applying to Party Members
3.18.1

Hi. I'm using Class Slots for all of my player combatants. Each combtant has an Initial Class slot 0 and a secondary slot (slot 1), where slot 0 contains an assigned class with both ability and status developments and Slot 1 is empty (for now).

My project uses the turnbased combat system with a party of four.

I'm finding that for some reason, my Class Slot 0 assignment: Only applies to the first character added to my battle groups, and not correctly on other characters.

One Scenario: If I have 3 combatants in my battle group, and set I their initial Slot 0 class slots to "Soldier", "Mage", and "Archer" respectively, and their class levels each to 10. Only the first combatant in the battle group will be set to Level 10, and the rest will be set to level 1.

Another Scenario: If I have two combatants in my battle group, and I set their initial 0 Class slots both to "Solider". If I set the first combatant's level to the max level of 10. And the second character's class level to 5. They both end up with a class level of 10 when the game starts.

I am perplexed, haha

Hi, @GeneralIK I'm thinking it could be? At least they seem somewhat related.

The issue is less that combatants are the same level in that unique, repeatable instance, and more that it appears that the class level only applies to the first member in the battle group regardless of which combatant it is, which initial class they have in slot 0, or what initial level their slot 0 class is set to. The rest of the combatant's, no matter how many I add initialize at level 1.

A work around I can try is manually setting their slot level after I spawn them. I'm not sure if it'll properly retain their levels or not when I make members active/non active.

In my test, I'm merely using four join group or join battle group nodes. No level zone nodes. And the schematic (if using join group) is merely using the default class level. I've tried explicitly defining the class level, but it seems to be overridden by whatever the class slot level is set to in the combatant's settings.

Anyway, just wanted to mention since it was timely with the other issue you mentioned. I assume their somewhat related!

Hey Gil! Thank you so much for your response.

I should had mentioned, that I've had the Single-class slot set to None for all of my combatants. But perhaps I'm missing something?

For instance I have the following setup:

First combatant:

-------

Given my current setup, I run into the following issues:

1. If Xin is the first character added to my battle party. He initializes as a Primary Class Slot Level 10 Agent. Maya Initializes as a Primary Class Slot Level 1 Cleric (even though she's level 5 in the settings).

2. If Maya is the first character added to my battle party. She initializes as a Primary Class Slot Level 5 Cleric. Xin initializes as a Primary Class Level 1 Agent (even though he's set to level 10 like above).

3. If I assign Xin an Agent Primary Class at level 10 and Maya an Agent Class at Level 5. And I add Xin to the party first. When I start the game, both Xin AND Maya's Agent class will be level 10 (effectively overriding Maya's class level assignment).

4. If I do step three above, but swap Maya (Primary Slot: Agent level 5), and Xin (Primary Slot: Agent Level 10) where Maya is first added to the party, both Xin and Maya will initialize as Level 5 agents.

-----------

Somehow:

1. The class slot level is only applying to the first combatant that joins the party.
2. Second and beyond members added to the party are not having their initially set Class slot levels saved.
3. The class slot level of the first combatant in a party will override the initial level of all subsequently added combatants in the party should they share the same class in a slot.

I should also note that this class and every class is setup as "Is group class"

ahh okay okay. I see now that I was confused by the description!

"Is Group Class: This class is available to all members of a group when added to a combatant.
Each combatant still use their own unique instances of the class, increasing the class level on their own."

The second sentence had me assume this meant when it was Checked on for some reason.

Thanks GiL!

32) Edit nevermind I think I figured it out lol.

Currently not.
The comparison part is used by menu parts that involve slots, i.e. equipment, multi/single slot, AI behaviour/ruleset, class slots, etc.
Both the current content coming from the slot and the selected content are sent to the comparison part from the same menu part source, so e.g. combining an equipment part with only showing slots and an inventory part wouldn't work either.

Might be expanded in the future to e.g. auto select an equipment slot of the menu user for comparison when only getting information for the new content.

Sorting doesn't work with inventory containers, because they don't use sorting. Stuff is in the slots you put it into :)

Dragging can also be used to give an item to another combatant or use it on them, e.g. dragging it on a combatant's HUD or their game object in the scene. It can also be used to drag+drop it on a shortcut slot (e.g. in a HUD).
