Multipath

Hello,

I'm working on a tower defense game in which i planed multi paths for enemies to reach the tower.But enemies selecting only shortest path.Can any one help how to select random path.

If you use the Pathfinding, the A* algorithm behind it will only give you the shortest path. You'll need to do the paths yourself if you want it in another way.

As I did the same as you, here is how I managed multipath : waitpoints. Just put some waitpoints on the paths, and associate a "waitpoint route" for every spawner or every mob (depending on what you want). Then, instead of looking for a path to the exit, look for a path to next waiting point, and again until you are at the objective.

You could also blockade one of the ways with an invisible object

What happens to the next minion on the same path.. if it needs to take a different route?

How about if we could have multi target.. and assign certain sequence..

say minion1 = targets (1,3)

minion 2 = targets (2,3)

so that way minion1 would take a different route collecting target1 and then target3 .. than minion2 that'd take 2 first and then 3.

Eventually both reach 3 in different ways. (ofcourse the way you place targets 1 and 2 matter)

Ashley ?

Here is one way to do something like that:
