A* is still usable with Playmaker with a little trickery. Get Property and Set Property are your friends. You can set the destination of an agent, read if it has arrived, send commands, etc.

I can (kind of) help you out if you need me to.

Cool, thanks.

I'll have a play around with it, see if I can get what I need from Get/Set properties.

Shame such a cool 3rd party pack hasn't gone for full/official PM support :/

Hi guys. What's the latest on A* pathfinding support in Playmaker? This seems to be the latest info, but I note it's from back in August. Has there been any progress since then?

I'm currently experimenting with A* (Unity's navmesh, it turns out, is "limited" in certain areas) and it'd make things MUCH easier if I can use Playmaker's visual interface.  :)

I am going to Necro this thread. Is there still interest in custom playmakeractions for A* Pathfinding? I am just trying to gauge the desire for this, as I am considering doing it.

I might make some for my next project. Havent decide yet if I want to use A* or not yet.

Are you using it right now? Any specific actions you need?

I'm not currently, no, as I went back to Unity's navmesh agent, but definitely open to revisiting A* as it would enable proper random level generation.

Where would you propose to start?

Honestly, I am still trying to figure out why I would use A* over unitys built in pathfinding actually.  :o

The reason I'm interested is that you can't build the standard Unity navmesh at runtime, which A* can. Realistically, that's the only reason I'm interested in it, as vanilla navmesh does everything else I need at present. Others will doubtless have other needs, of course.  :)

Unity is close to pushing out Navmesh runtime baking! There is some experimental stuff out already:

Thanks. I just want to make sure that I am using my time wisely when making custom actions. I may not move forward on this project, as it seems unity is more and more able to handle things itself.  :o
