What godot-turn-system does

The skill equips the agent with strict GDScript rules for turn-based mechanics in Godot. It separates combat architecture into discrete phased rounds, continuous ATB gauges, or timeline managers. Board state lives in a Dictionary rather than the node tree. Grid navigation relies on AStarGrid2D instead of AStar2D.

Action points require validation through can_perform_action() before spending. In multiplayer games, the server owns the turn clock and triggers automatic passes on timeout. Queue recalculation on every action is disallowed to prevent performance dips. Modifying tile solidity without invoking update() on AStarGrid2D immediately breaks path queries.

What it helps with

  • build a phased turn queue with action point validation
  • implement an active time battle gauge or timeline interrupt system
  • handle authoritative server-side turn timeouts for multiplayer matches
  • configure grid pathfinding using AStarGrid2D and obstacle updates

Example prompts for the agent

  • Implement a round-based combat manager in Godot using action points and deterministic tie-breaking.
  • Create an ATB gauge loop in GDScript that pauses execution when an actor is ready.
  • Set up a server-authoritative turn timeout handler using the TurnManager singleton contract.

What does godot-turn-system do?

It provides Godot coding patterns for turn queues, action point economics, and battle timelines while enforcing clean architecture rules.

How does the skill handle multiplayer turn timeouts?

The server controls a dedicated timer and automatically issues a pass action when time expires, while clients only display the countdown.
