Queueing methods and calling them at specific times

Questions & Answers
1

So I’m trying to build a turn based battle system in which a player can take a specific number of actions per turn. Additionally a player can manipulate the times when these actions will be taken and at the end the actions will play out at the player-determined times.

I’m kind of at loss at how to approach this and would appreciate a hint at how to accomplish this. Right now I’ve tried queueing my actions / functions by storing them in a list, I’ve tried using delegates and queues but a problem I encounter is the use of different parameters for my functions, i.e. a Move function for a unit will take a Vector3 targetPosition but a SwapWeapon function for a unit will take a Int index parameter. Additionally right now I’m implementing my action functions by using Coroutines, so I can call them at various times and overlap each other but since these aren’t working the way I want yet this is up for change as well.
I imagine I could implement the timer by letting the player choose the starting times of his actions, then when it’s time to execute just starting a timer and calling the function in my queue at the respective time but I haven’t tried implementing this bit yet.

Thanks for any answer I might get.

Check out c# delegates, you can add - register and remove - unregister any methods of same param type. When you call the event all registered methods will be called, you can even loop and do picky stuff. As param will be any possible type really, create a container which will hold a dictionary that way you will be able to pass any data you want without creating override type of events.
