Auto End Turn Event

[ancestral]

To me, it seems Wesnoth should be smart enough to know when my turn is done. Like, when my units don’t have any moves left.

So, I present to you, an auto end turn event. (Note… this is especially handy in many multiplayer scenarios.)

The event ends the turn if any units on the current side have no movement and cannot make any attacks. It’s designed to end a turn when it’s assumed there are no more moves to take. (If there are valid moves, then it’s still up to you to tell the game when you want to end your turn!) It also won’t allow undo on the last move.

I’d like to add recall and recruit support by checking the recall list, and if the current side’s leader is on a keep and can afford any units. I’d also like to add support for units who have a few moves but not enough to move to a new tile. (If you can think of any other cases where, in a standard game, you’d choose not end your turn right away, let me know.)

Code: Select all

[event]
  name=moveto,attack end
  first_time_only=no
  [filter_condition]
  [not]
    [have_unit]
      side=$side_number
      [and]
        [not]
          [filter_wml]
            moves=0
          [/filter_wml]
        [/not]
        [or]
          [filter_adjacent]
            is_enemy=yes
          [/filter_adjacent]
          [not]
            [filter_wml]
              attacks_left=0
            [/filter_wml]
          [/not]
        [/or]
      [/and]

Turn time limit is for that..

Turn time limit is for that..

In MP, yes, but In SP campaigns there is no timer.

What if I recruit last ?

i guess you'd have to check the undo stack as well which i'm pretty sure you'd need engine support for this...

The real problem (for me) is that a big part about wesnoth, or SP and hotseat any way, is that it's alot about thinking. What happens if the player wants to undo, or is chatting advice to the player after him? Methinks a lot more problems will arise from having the turns timed than it appears. Yeah, this cleans up the "Where the dickens has Boldek gone to? is he AFK?" chats, I think the timer does it best.
