junior bough Nov 23, 2023, 6:53 AM

#

so what is placement for

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 6:53 AM

#

it is for placing the gameobject on nodes

#

https://gdl.space/horacimeso.cs

#

https://gdl.space/liyunequro.cs

#

these two are for movement after being placed on the nodes

junior bough Nov 23, 2023, 6:56 AM

#

alright

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 7:29 AM

#

you have any idea about it @junior bough how to implement ?

junior bough Nov 23, 2023, 7:32 AM

#

dusk summit you have any idea about it <@968604165150507078> how to implement ?

you have raycast onto a piece right?

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 7:37 AM

#

junior bough you have raycast onto a piece right?

Yes

junior bough Nov 23, 2023, 7:39 AM

#

so check if the piece you trying to pick up is only the one that matches the TurnManager

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:15 AM

#

@lethal burrow Did I not tell you NOT to just copy/paste mine. This way you learn nothing
btw. All done

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 8:17 AM

#

tawdry sigil <@289019556389978113> Did I not tell you NOT to just copy/paste mine. This way y...

I am not copy/pasting bro. I am not able to implement turnmanager since both goat and lion use the same node script for movement. It is kinda confusing for me what to do

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:17 AM

#

what? The video you posted is my work. Not yours

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 8:17 AM

#

tawdry sigil what? The video you posted is my work. Not yours

yup. i didnt say it was mine

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:18 AM

#

but you need to implement what I did into your own game so you can understand what/how/why it is working. This way you learn absolutely nothing

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 8:19 AM

#

tawdry sigil but you need to implement what I did into your own game so you can understand wh...

ik. Thats why i am trying to get a hint on how to implement turn manager. 😦

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:21 AM

#

As @junior bough said. set up an enum you can switch between Tigers and Goats and locate everywhere in the code where it needs to be checked and check it

#

this is why you need to take the time to understand the code first so you know where to add the checks

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 8:23 AM

#

I used a bool instead. And checking if the placed object is goat or tiger using tags. but unfortunately it is working only the first time.

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:26 AM

#

So that is the mouse up. what do you check in mouse down?

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 8:27 AM

#

why would i check in mousedown. It is just instantiation.

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:29 AM

#

dont you think it's a good idea to check if it is someone's turn at the moment of selection? That is in mouse down

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 8:35 AM

#

tawdry sigil dont you think it's a good idea to check if it is someone's turn at the moment o...

i didnt get you @tawdry sigil

#

you are saying that first we should actually check whether the selection is tiger or goat and then the script should compare it with whatever tag we have written and then it should execute what we have written ?

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:38 AM

#

Think about it.
If you are playing a turn based board game, at which point in a players move do you decide 2 things. 1 Is it his move and 2. what pieces can he move?

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 8:39 AM

#

we will check it by if he is clicking and compare it by other ones

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:39 AM

#

I asked at which point

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 8:41 AM

#

after player 1 will play

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:42 AM

#

let me make it simple for you.
At which point in a player move do you decide if it is his move
The start of a move
During the move
The End of the move
?

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 8:43 AM

#

Start of the move

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:43 AM

#

exactly. And in this case what signifys the start of a move?

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 8:44 AM

#

whether we are selecting it or not

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:44 AM

#

no

#

what action is taken by the player at the start of every move?

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 8:46 AM

#

tawdry sigil what action is taken by the player at the start of every move?

instantiation if it is the goat.

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:46 AM

#

no, physical action

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 8:46 AM

#

mouseclick?

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:46 AM

#

no

#

mouse down

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 8:47 AM

#

yeah

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:47 AM

#

so, where ever you have a mouse down event you need to check, is it this players turn

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 8:51 AM

#

But how can we check it. We are using the same script for both goat and tiger.

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:52 AM

#

yes, but in the placement script, for example, you have the prefab variable and the tag/name of that prefab tells you what is trying to be selected

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 8:54 AM

#

tawdry sigil yes, but in the placement script, for example, you have the prefab variable and ...

ok

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 8:56 AM

#

the same thing can be applied to the Movement script by using the node.occupant

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 8:56 AM

#

tawdry sigil the same thing can be applied to the Movement script by using the node.occupant

yeah

#

trying it

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 9:04 AM

#

@tawdry sigil we are enabling and disabling placement script based upon the turn. is this wrong?

#

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:05 AM

#

not necessary. A simple if in MouseDown is sufficient.
this is mine

    private void OnMouseDown()
    {
        if (max > 0)
        {
            if (GameManager.instance.turn.ToString() == prefab.name)
            {
                _isSelected = true;
                toPlace = Instantiate(prefab);
                toPlace.name = prefab.name;
                toPlace.transform.position = transform.position;
            }
        }
    }

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 9:05 AM

#

we made three tigerHomes as the position of them should be fixed when the game starts.

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:06 AM

#

that should not be tigerhome just tiger

#

you only need the Home prefabs for manual placement. That is what they are for

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:08 AM

#

https://gdl.space/temegovomo.cs
i am writing this enums are they correct ?

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:08 AM

#

yes

#

mine

public enum Turn
{
    Tiger, Goat
}

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:09 AM

#

so i will use them in onmousedown and create a condition

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:09 AM

#

yes

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:09 AM

#

tawdry sigil mine ```cs public enum Turn { Tiger, Goat } ```

yeah exactly

#

okok

#

but why are they not accessible ?

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:11 AM

#

show code

#

you have the enum defined inside TurnManager

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:12 AM

#

yeah

#

inside

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:12 AM

#

so you access it as
TurnManager.PlayerType

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:12 AM

#

yes

#

exactly

#

i am not able to do that

#

-_-

#

ooo ok got it

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:14 AM

#

this
private PlayerType currentPlayer = PlayerType.Tiger;
needs to be public so you can do
TurnManager.instance,currentPlayer
from another script

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:18 AM

#

if (_node.occupant != null && TurnManager.instance.currentPlayer.ToString()==_node.occupant.name)
is this the way in movement to write ?

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:18 AM

#

yes

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:25 AM

#

my enums are working and switching to but how to freeze the moves of respective turns objects

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:26 AM

#

I dont understand, explain

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:27 AM

#

so when we move them the enum is switching between goat and tiger respectively but the movement of them is not freezing meaning that i can move tiger by any amount of turn

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:28 AM

#

I still do not understand what you mean

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:28 AM

#

like tiger will play once then goat right ?

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:28 AM

#

yes

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:29 AM

#

so after playing for tiger the current situation is we can move the tiger once again

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:29 AM

#

then you are not swityching the enum correctly

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:30 AM

#

should i share the code

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:30 AM

#

sure

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:30 AM

#

https://gdl.space/kokoganaji.cs

#

placement one

#

https://gdl.space/febesuhure.cs

#

movement one

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:33 AM

#

In placement you have the switchturn in the wrong place. it should only happen if the move was successful

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 9:34 AM

#

tawdry sigil In placement you have the switchturn in the wrong place. it should only happen i...

but isnt it succesful? since the position is being changed to node position

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:34 AM

#

and you have no switchturn in your movement code

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:34 AM

#

tawdry sigil and you have no switchturn in your movement code

yeah i noticed it now

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:34 AM

#

lethal burrow but isnt it succesful? since the position is being changed to node position

not as you have it, no

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:36 AM

#

lethal burrow but isnt it succesful? since the position is being changed to node position

look in the mouseup method and ask yourself how do I know if the turn was successful?

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 9:44 AM

#

tawdry sigil look in the mouseup method and ask yourself how do I know if the turn was succes...

I am not getting it. sorry, isnt it when the position is equal to node position

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:45 AM

#

no. it is when node != null.
you are doing switchturn always

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:46 AM

#

in movement i can write the switch tunrs anywhere

#

because on mouse up and down we cant write

#

check move is checking the movement and then we are calling it in update

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:48 AM

#

dusk summit in movement i can write the switch tunrs anywhere

in movement the obvious place to call switchturn is after a succesful move in CheckMove

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:48 AM

#

so if i am writing in update it is working but sometimes it is returning the enum double time

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:48 AM

#

tawdry sigil in movement the obvious place to call switchturn is after a succesful move in Ch...

exactly i did it

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:50 AM

#

dusk summit so if i am writing in update it is working but sometimes it is returning the en...

after that too it is happening that when we move the tiger it is not switching

#

it is behaving like a bug

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:51 AM

#

show code

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:52 AM

#

its working

#

sorry my mistake

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:54 AM

#

so now you know how to implement turn based movement

At the start of a move determine if the player can move the selected piece
At the end of a successful move, switch turns.
It's that simple

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:54 AM

#

i have one more doubt that the goat should move after the all the 15 goat placed on a node

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:54 AM

#

indeed

#

so you need an extra check in the mousedown of movement

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 9:58 AM

#

so should i add the count for it

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 9:59 AM

#

a bool in TurnManager will do
initially set to false
set to true by placement script when all goats are placed
checked by movement script when it is goats turn

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 10:04 AM

#

i didnt understand the last line

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:11 AM

#

ok, you you have in movement

    private void OnMouseDown()
    {
        if (_node.occupant != null && TurnManager.instance.currentPlayer.ToString()==_node.occupant.name)
        {
            //this.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = Color.yellow;
            _isSelected = true;
            
        }
        
    }

which checks the selection against the turn
here you need to add an additional check that if it is Goats turn has he placed all of his goats yet?

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:13 AM

#

trying

#

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:18 AM

#

should than not be if NOT all Goats placed?

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:18 AM

#

oo it should be true

#

but the condition is correct ?

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:19 AM

#

it's round the wrong way

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:19 AM

#

i didnt get it

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:20 AM

#

you are setting to false if all goats have been placed

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:21 AM

#

tawdry sigil you are setting to false if all goats have been placed

ya it should be true

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:21 AM

#

no

#

read your code

#

the false is correct. The condition is wrong

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:28 AM

#

when all goat will be placed then the movement should be there
thats what i am writing right ?
like the bool will get true when max ==0 in placement and the toplace.name=="Goat" and in movement if the bool will be true and the player will be the goat then it should be false

#

is this wrong

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:29 AM

#

no it is not what you are writing

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:29 AM

#

i wrote this in placement added an else if

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:30 AM

#

just look at the code for both if statements and tell me the value of _isSelected
if it is goats turn and all goats have not been placed

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:30 AM

#

dusk summit i wrote this in placement added an else if

NO

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:31 AM

#

then how should i compare in the placement

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:31 AM

#

There is already a very clear place in placement when you know if all goats have been placed

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:33 AM

#

in the on mouseup where toplace is null ?

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:34 AM

#

no.
Mouse up is correct but what do you think this
if (max == 0)
is telling you?

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

oooo i am sorry i didnt saw that

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:36 AM

#

if you want to even think about being a programmer you need to learn to read and understand every line of code

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:36 AM

#

yeah actually there were no brackets there so .......

#

but in movement how should i compare then whether it is goat or not if my condition is wrong

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

simply switch allgoatsplaced to not allgoatsplaced

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

means we dont need this condition TurnManager.instance.currentPlayer==TurnManager.PlayerType.Goat

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

as well

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

then its fine

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

no

#

copy/paste the if

#

actually better, copy paste the whole method

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

tawdry sigil actually better, copy paste the whole method

which one

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

mousedown

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

from where ?

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

movement, that is the one we are working on

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:44 AM

#

i should copy/paste the mousedown of movement to where ?

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:44 AM

#

here

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

private void OnMouseDown()
{

if (_node.occupant != null && TurnManager.instance.currentPlayer.ToString()==_node.occupant.name)
{
    //this.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = Color.yellow;
    _isSelected = true;
    
}
if(!TurnManager.instance.allgoatplaced && TurnManager.instance.currentPlayer==TurnManager.PlayerType.Goat)
{
    _isSelected = false;
}

}

#

but now also the goat is moving it is not working actually

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:47 AM

#

private void OnMouseDown()
{
    // Start of Players Turn
    // Is the node occupied ?
    // If so, is it occupied by the players piece ?
    if (_node.occupant != null && TurnManager.instance.currentPlayer.ToString()==_node.occupant.name)
    {
        // Yes, so can be selected
        //this.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = Color.yellow;
        _isSelected = true;

    }
    // But wait...
    // Goats can only move when all goats are placed
    // Is this true ?
    if(!TurnManager.instance.allgoatplaced && TurnManager.instance.currentPlayer==TurnManager.PlayerType.Goat)
    {
        // No it is not so it can not be selected
        _isSelected = false;
    }

It helps if you add comments to the code

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:49 AM

#

tawdry sigil ```cs private void OnMouseDown() { // Start of Players Turn // Is the no...

sure

#

but then also it is not working

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:49 AM

#

but it is still not right because the second if needs to be inside of the first one doesn't it?

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:50 AM

#

tawdry sigil but it is still not right because the second if needs to be inside of the first ...

wait what

#

why

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:50 AM

#

because the second if only needs to be evaluated if the first one is true

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:51 AM

#

but after placing it inside it is still moving

#

i am placing it inside after the first amd setting the isselect=true

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:52 AM

#

so where do you set allgoatplaced to true

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:52 AM

#

dusk summit i am placing it inside after the first amd setting the isselect=true

what?

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:52 AM

#

tawdry sigil so where do you set allgoatplaced to true

i didnt get that

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:53 AM

#

private void OnMouseDown()
{
    // Start of Players Turn
    // Is the node occupied ?
    // If so, is it occupied by the players piece ?
    if (_node.occupant != null && TurnManager.instance.currentPlayer.ToString()==_node.occupant.name)
    {
        // Yes, so can be selected
        //this.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = Color.yellow;
        _isSelected = true;
        // But wait...
       // Goats can only move when all goats are placed
       // Is this true ?
       if(!TurnManager.instance.allgoatplaced && TurnManager.instance.currentPlayer==TurnManager.PlayerType.Goat)

       }
    }
 }

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 10:53 AM

#

tawdry sigil what?

i placed like this

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 10:54 AM

#

dusk summit i placed like this

correct

#

so back to mouseup of placement

#

which should be

if (max == 0) {
   TurnManager.instance.allgoatplaced = true;
   gameObject.SetActive(false);
}

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:03 AM

#

ya i did this earlier

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:03 AM

#

ok. are you still using TigerHome for your preplaced Tigers?

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:03 AM

#

tawdry sigil ok. are you still using TigerHome for your preplaced Tigers?

yeah

#

should i place it in a node

#

occupied node

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:04 AM

#

don't
remove them you do not need TigerHome at all

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:04 AM

#

tawdry sigil don't remove them you do not need TigerHome at all

ok sure

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:04 AM

#

add 3 Tigers. place them in the correct positions and add them to the correct node.occupant

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:05 AM

#

tawdry sigil add 3 Tigers. place them in the correct positions and add them to the correct no...

in inspector right in a node of each 3 of them ?

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:05 AM

#

yes

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:06 AM

#

#

here right ?

#

in the occupant

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:06 AM

#

if you are placing a tiger on node 0, yes

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:07 AM

#

so i have to change something else with it ?

#

i am just drag and dropping the tiger prefab

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:08 AM

#

first you drag and drop a tiger prefab into the hierarchy
you move it to the node you want in the scene view
and then you can drag and drop the tiger gameobject onto the node in the inspector

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:10 AM

#

i did this

#

but the tiger movement does not work

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:11 AM

#

then you have not done it correctly

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:12 AM

#

firstly i draged and droped the tiger prefab into hierarchy then i duplicated it into 3 tigers then i drag and droped it into the specified node occupant object

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:13 AM

#

screenshot your unity window with one of the correct nodes selected

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:13 AM

#

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:15 AM

#

that is correct

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:16 AM

#

yeah

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 11:16 AM

#

tawdry sigil that is correct

Only tiger on node 0 is working for some reason

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:17 AM

#

wait.
change this to
if(TurnManager.instance.currentPlayer==TurnManager.PlayerType.Goat && !TurnManager.instance.allgoatplaced)
check for Goatmove first

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:17 AM

#

trying

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:18 AM

#

show me all 3 Tigers in the hierarchy

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:19 AM

#

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:20 AM

#

Right Now think on this

TurnManager.instance.currentPlayer.ToString()==_node.occupant.name

and this

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:20 AM

#

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:21 AM

#

which is why the placement code contains this

toPlace.name = prefab.name;

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:25 AM

#

tawdry sigil Right Now think on this ```cs TurnManager.instance.currentPlayer.ToString()==_no...

it should have the same name

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:25 AM

#

yes

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:25 AM

#

i gave them the same name

#

but the thing is for me the second one is just moving slighly and then it does not move the other 2 are working fine

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:27 AM

#

then you need to see what is different. it's what we call debugging

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:27 AM

#

ok

#

i will see

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 11:30 AM

#

There is a bug i came across @tawdry sigil

#

even tho the tiger on node 0 is jumping to neigbhouring node, the sheep got deleted

#

is it happening for u too?

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:36 AM

#

that is not a bug, it is correct. The tiger is going from node 0 to node 4 via node 5. it is a legal move

it is not a legal move

#

technically it is a legal move but as for game it should not be a legal move actually

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:39 AM

#

the rules state it is legal to jump a goat if the adjacent node is empty

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 11:39 AM

#

can i see where u got this rule?

#

cos in above game it wasnt working

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:41 AM

#

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagh-Chal

Bagh-Chal

Bagh-Chal (Nepali: bāgh cāl, Newar: धुँ कासा dhun kasa meaning "tiger game", Hindi: बाघ बकरी bagh bakri) is a strategic, two-player board game that originated in Nepal. The game is asymmetric in that one player controls four tigers and the other player controls up to twenty goats. The tigers 'hunt' the goats while the goats attempt to block the...

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:42 AM

#

i think so it is because the board is square 😅

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:45 AM

#

But anyway, it is easy enough to add any rules you want into the MovementManager script.
For instance atm jumping will always take precedence over moving. The rules state that when both are possible jumping should be optional so that would need to be added

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:47 AM

#

dusk summit i think so it is because the board is square 😅

the rule is the same for the Indian boards as well

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 11:47 AM

#

tawdry sigil the rule is the same for the Indian boards as well

okok

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:51 AM

#

if you want to make moving take precedence over jumping in the MovementManger script just move the //Check direct connect loop above the //Check jump code in the script

#

this is why it is important to read and understand the code

#

I cannot stress this enough

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

dusk summit okok

btw, with the code and prefabs you have you do realize that it is very trivial to setup any board shape and configuration you want

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 12:01 PM

#

yeah i know

#

i am figuring out how can i play on many resolutions

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 12:03 PM

#

I thought a full 3d pyramid board might be fun

gonna need lots of goats

can u share where u got those tiger and goat models in your game?

no, that would be iilegal

we are sticking to sprites

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 12:16 PM

tbh, the game works with any characters, last night I played with Knights and Demons. works just as well

I also had a play with Cars and Motorcycles. It works

you have any idea how to put this reso in mobile devices

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 12:20 PM

dusk summit you have any idea how to put this reso in mobile devices

Yeah. we were getting a blue screen in mobile build

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 12:20 PM

#

Shouldn't be a problem. Building to Android?

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 12:21 PM

yup

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 12:21 PM

yeah

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 12:22 PM

which Unity version you guys using?

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 12:23 PM

#

2022.3.10

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 12:24 PM

#

not a good choice 2022 is still very buggy

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 12:25 PM

#

but its LTS

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 12:26 PM

#

So what? Unity quality control even for LTS versions is totally crap

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 12:26 PM

is it working for you ? @tawdry sigil

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 12:26 PM

tawdry sigil So what? Unity quality control even for LTS versions is totally crap

oooooooooo

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 12:26 PM

switch the aspect ratio from Native to 16:9

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 12:32 PM

#

it is in 16:9 only

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 12:33 PM

#

the setup I made was based on a 16:9 ratio

lethal burrow Nov 23, 2023, 12:33 PM

#

tawdry sigil Nov 23, 2023, 12:34 PM

#

The other thing you can do, this is using a perspective camera, change it to orthographic and adjust the node placement slightly

#

you will see I have a canvas in the hierarchy with your original game board image. So you can use that to help the placement of the nodes

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 12:39 PM

ok

dusk summit Nov 23, 2023, 12:58 PM

in the screenshot your friend sent

could be a 2022 thing, it's different in 2021

Don't you think you've had enough help already? This is your implementation of the game, don't expect me to do all the work for you

dusk summit Nov 27, 2023, 10:29 AM

#

I just wanted a explanation

tawdry sigil Nov 27, 2023, 10:29 AM

#

OK, what do you want explaining?

dusk summit Nov 27, 2023, 10:30 AM

#

#

what exactly we are doing here?

tawdry sigil Nov 27, 2023, 10:31 AM

#

wait one whilst I bring up the code

dusk summit Nov 27, 2023, 10:31 AM

#

yeah sure

tawdry sigil Nov 27, 2023, 10:33 AM

#

To start with we have this

        // Fill lines with node numbers
        lines[0] = new List<int>() { 0, 2, 8, 14, 19 };
        lines[1] = new List<int>() { 0, 3, 9, 15, 20 };
        lines[2] = new List<int>() { 0, 4, 10, 16, 21 };
        lines[3] = new List<int>() { 0, 5, 11, 17, 22 };
        lines[4] = new List<int>() { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };
        lines[5] = new List<int>() { 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 };
        lines[6] = new List<int>() { 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 };
        lines[7] = new List<int>() { 19, 20, 21, 22 };
        lines[8] = new List<int>() { 1, 7, 13 };
        lines[9] = new List<int>() { 6, 12, 18 };

which fills our lines array with all the node numbers on each line of the board
do you understand this?

dusk summit Nov 27, 2023, 10:33 AM

#

yeah

tawdry sigil Nov 27, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

ok next we have this

        // Calculate node connections
        foreach (Node node in nodes)
        {
            foreach (List<int> line in lines)
            {
                for (i=0;i<line.Count;i++)
                {
                    if (line[i] == node.ix)
                    {
                        if (i > 0) node.connects2.Add(line[i - 1]);
                        if (i < line.Count - 1) node.connects2.Add(line[i + 1]);
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

which takes those lines and for each node it tells it which nodes it is connected to
do you understand this?

dusk summit Nov 27, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

yes

tawdry sigil Nov 27, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

Ok, so then it is simple in this code

        // Check direct connect
        foreach (int ix in startNode.connects2)
        {
            if (ix == end)
            {
                return endNode;
            }
        }

we have a start and an end node
so because connects2 of a node tells us exactly which nodes this node is directly connected to
if the connnects2 List of the start node contains the end node we know they are directly connected and we already checked if the end node is empty so that start end combination is a valid move so we pass back a node to the caller as proof of this

dusk summit Nov 27, 2023, 10:40 AM

#

Ok ok got it

tawdry sigil Nov 27, 2023, 10:41 AM

#

this could also have been written as

if (startNode.connects2.Contains(end)) return endNode

dusk summit Nov 27, 2023, 10:41 AM

#

i was just trying to write the win condition for goat so i just got confused that what was that code for 😅

tawdry sigil Nov 27, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

win condition for goat is quite tricky however the stalemate condition is very tricky indeed

dusk summit Nov 27, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

yeah

#

my approach was i should check whether the neighbour nodes and jump nodes are occupied or not

tawdry sigil Nov 27, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

firstly, you only need to check the nodes which are occupied by a tiger

dusk summit Nov 27, 2023, 10:44 AM

#

ok

tawdry sigil Nov 27, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

so

is the node occupied by a tiger
if this node has an empty connecting node - can move
if this node has a connecting node occupied by a goat and that node has an empty connecting node - can move

dusk summit Nov 27, 2023, 10:46 AM

#

yeah

#

ok i will try this

#

thankyou

#

sorry to bother you

tawdry sigil Nov 27, 2023, 10:48 AM

#

wait til you try to figure out the stalemate logic and implement that. I will be interested to see what you come up with, as I said, it's very tricky

dusk summit Nov 27, 2023, 10:49 AM

yeah
