How do i make my Player follow a specific Path.

Hi there, i'm trying to do a cooking game, similar to "Cooking Diary", and in the kitchen i would like to move to the different object with the mouse. So i tried with pathfinding and obstacles, but it didn't work very well, issues with collision.

As you see it's not working very good. All my object are scalled on a 100 pixels square grid, my pathfinding cell are 100 pixels too, and my cell border are -1. With 0 or >0, it's just won't move.

If somebody have a solution for this.

If not, i have another idea but i don't know how to do it. I can just make the player follow the path, the pathfinder just has to choose the best path between those.

Thanks.

Make the cell border larger, and verify that the collision box of the obstacles is the size of the object and not smaller.

With a cell border bigger that -1, the player won't move.

The collision of the obstacle are all at the size of the object, except for the player, the collision box is between the feet and the hips

I don't understand why the pathfinder behavior don't consider this part as a solid:

My obstacle is just a box with the "solid" behavior

So i thought maybe it's because i stretched the object, so i tried to make my collision with two "vanilla" box instead of one box that i stretched.

But it didn't work either.

I would do the pathfinding/collisions with a separate, smaller object like a 25x25 square. Then just pin the sprite of the lady to that helper object.

I tried it.

So, i did a "balise", at each place i want my player to go, then when i click on the furniture, it goes to the "balise" assigned to it, but i don't uderstand why it doesn't go on it, see by yourself.

It's pretty anoying...

What are your conditions to move the helper object? Especially what does stop it? Is it on collision/overlap with the black boxes? Is it a distance check? I would recommend stopping pathfinding/moving on a distance check* from image point to image point, which ideally should be in the center of each the green and black squares.

*as condition: system - compare two values

and then:

value 1 = distance(object1.y, object1.x, object2.y, object2.x)

value 2 = 1 pixel

I thought you were just doing find path to mouse.x,mouse.y and because you're clicking obstacles it doesn't quite get there. I'm not sure what relevance the black boxes have, you didn't mention those earlier? Let's see your event sheet.

Set cell size to something lower than 25

It does exactly the same, nothing change, except that it sometimes go where i don't want it to go.

I made a simple file and it's working well so better to share your file.

Looks like the issue is caused by a combination of the high movement speed with the ridiculous acceleration/deceleration settings. I don't know enough about them to give an exact reason as to why it stops abruptly during pathfinding but if you set it to something more normal then it's fine.

Oh, thanks you very much.

With thoses values i tried to simply disable the acceleration/deceleration because i don't need them in my game, so i thought it would work to set very high value
