[Behavior]PathFinder

Kyatric, now I know what I will be doing for the rest of the day. As usual, thanks for another instructive tutorial with great .capx.

jwjb: Thanks for the kind words and have a good day <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Note for people who read this topic: You might also want to check rez's pathfinder his works in real time, this one I'd rather recommend for turn-based type of games.

Anyhow, be aware there are two behaviors existing that proposes close features.

This behavior is perfect, it should be a part of the standard construct library. Thank you so much! <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Could one use this on a moving target, such as a ball? So that a sprite can always try to reach its target even if it is moving and its obstacles are dynamically spawning / destroying within the layout?

CrudeMik: I guess one could and manage so that the process is not too intensive or the layout too big to have it working without slowdowns.

As mentioned three posts above:

"You might also want to check rez's pathfinder his works in real time, this one I'd rather recommend for turn-based type of games."

Is there any way of implementing a "cost" for each node? That way it would try to choose the path with less movement cost?

Thank you!

—: in theory it is possible.

When I made the plugin, I based it out of some JS implementations I had found at the time.

Some of the implementation managed weight.

Here are the links :

(there are even more links in the comments of the first one)

Unfortunately I don't have the time/will to add to the current plugin.

Also, doesn't Rez's implementation contain some weight calculation already ?

Anyway, if you feel like modifying the plugin to add the weight calculation, by all means go ahead.

Kyatric,

happy b'day sir...

harrio: Thanks :)

Hi, may the pathfinder create path oriented like in flash?

Thank you,

Rhiegel: I'm afraid I don't understand this question.

Can you be more specific, explain a bit more ?

Can you upload a new capx because that one is very outdated and can't be used anymore :/

Yes Sir, I try to explain more specific.

I want to create a character movement using pathfinder and I want the character move like we use car movement behavior, is that posible to using pathfinder Sir?

thank you very much, and I'm sorry because I can't speak english too well

Best Regards,

Rhiegel

HPA97: What do you mean outdated ? The capx still works for me on r109 and the logic of use still stands.

Rhiegel: The pathfinder only returns a path. The way you make your object travel the path is totally up to you.

The movement is independent from the pathfinding.

Check the example for a moving object in the first post, and on left click, implement your own movement way.

Kyatric: Ahh, it tells me that i need addons... What addons did you use?
