Pathfinding grid based with discrete movement
« on: September 08, 2017, 11:01:47 AM »
Can someone point me the best way to do a "simple" path finding method in order to achieve my enemies movement?

  • Its FP Dungeon Crawler style, moving every 4m and 90ยบ turns (eye of the beholder style)
  • Could I use navmesh and then, somehow clamp the result to use the grid movement?
  • Should I go with the A* one here? http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=2540.0 In my case i dont need to generate the grid as it will be every floor piece, I will be only using the actions to move
  • Any other package in the store that you might think would work?

Thanks!

Did you ever get any info on this?  I'm curious too.

Hi,
Maybe this topic can get you in the right direction.

look at the video on reply #10 to setup navmesh

and on reply 14 i have a video for player movement.

For an enemy it works similar. instead of click to move you can set something different for it (depending on your game)
