Create a game with multiple heroes that can ne moved independantly using the Same input.
What is the expected result
I would like to switch between the multiple heroes and make them move turn by turn by using the directions on the keyboard, in the style of Homm.
What is the actual result
When I assign many heroes to the Same input, they all move at the Same Time. Is there a way to only move one at the Time ? I have succeeded by assigning different keys and I can switch from one creature to another with variables. But I want to have at least six heroes per player so I want it to be the Same input to move for each of them. I hope my question can find and answer !

Yes, turn off the behaviour (via the event action) for the playing characters that shouldn’t move, and turn on the behaviour for the playing character that should move.
I associated a variable to each hero. When A num key is pressed it centers on the hero, puts all heroes variables (group) to zéro then add 1 to the value associated hero corresponding with num key pressed.
I tried to make it so that when the hero’s value is 0 it cannot move. But when I set a general rule that the behavior is deactivated when the hero’s variable is equal to zero all heroes can’t move. They can only switch sides when I press arrows. And it is still affecting all creatures linked to the numpad. I’m stick on this still 2 weeks.
Do you see what i’m missing ? Am I overcomplicating things ? Ideally, my aim is that game be multiplayer, each player could have 1 to 10 heroes…so there must be a more simple way to toggle between them on the map !
and so you only need one set of events that can control all the characters.
To set it up, give each object in the object group “Creatures” the same animation names for the same types of animations. For example, instead of “GOBLIN G-MOUV” (and I suspect there will be “GNOLL G-MOUV”, “LICORNE G-MOUV” etc), just name those animations “G-MOUV”.
If you do this instead of using the Switch variable, then you don’t need to select the creatures with Switch = 1.
However, if there are interactions you only want to happen to the selected creature (for example, damage not to be inflicted on non-controlled creatures), then you will need to select the creatures with Switch = 1.
Amazing ! All problem solved ! Thanks so much ! I ignored the default controls when the value is 0 and programmes the opposite when value is 1. It woooorks.
Now yes for the movement it’s a great idea. I’ll implement this.
