Solution: Select Next Unit (On Current Selected Unit Death)

[Lazzarus]

Hello everybody, after reading some posts about this lesson, I used one comment of Code Monkey to create the proposed solution. Original post below:

Tipp: switching selected friendly unit when killed during enemy turn

On the UnitActionSystem listen to the turn changes, when that happens check if the current selectedUnit is dead, if so, get the friendlyUnitList from the UnitManager and find the next available Unit. If none is available, if all are dead, then it’s game over.

The solution.

1. In UnitActionSystem.cs scritp, in Start, listen to the turn change event.
   

2. On the page end, implement the new function as in the followinf image
   

   

With this cose the next unit will be selected if the current one is dead. If all are dead there is a debug line sayng the game is over.

Thanks to Hugo for the tip!

Nice!
You should probably use IsDead() instead of GetHealthNormalized() == 0, it makes the code a bit more intuitive

You area right, best practices first!
Here the new solution, just to help others if they need it.

1. Created the public IsDead function on Healthsystem
   

2. Exposed it by the unit script like we did with GetHealthNormalized
   

3. And update the condition of the TurnSystem_OnTurnChanged function in UnitActionSystem

I think it’s not correct to check Unit.isDead since the Object could be deleted at this point from the scene.
Checking for null seems to work.
