[DONE] How to Skip Turns?

Game Support
1

Hello,

I am new to PYDT and having been testing functionality in my game " Bartlett King’s Test Game." What I can’t figure out is how skipping turns works. I have the turn timer set to 1 day and for the setting “Turn Timer Vacation Mode Behavior” I have it set to “Turn is skipped at end of timer.” I also have each player on vacation mode. However, when the timer runs out, the turn does not automatically skip to the next player, it just says “Timer expires soon…” and remains on the current player’s turn.

So I have 2 questions:

  1. Am I doing something wrong for the turn to automatically skip?
  2. Can I manually force the site to skip a player’s turn and if so how?

Thank you very much!

It looks like that game only has 2 players - PYDT doesn’t skip if there’s less than 3 humans because there’s no good way to break the pattern. It’s hard to explain, but the skipped player has to be set to AI to get civ to skip them, but when that happens only one human player is left in the game and the hotseat switch/save point will never trigger. Hope that makes sense.

Ah, I see! That does make sense, thank you!
