Stores the navigation graphs for the A* Pathfinding System. More...

Detailed Description

Stores the navigation graphs for the A* Pathfinding System.

An instance of this class is assigned to AstarPath.astarData, from it you can access all graphs loaded through the graphs variable.
This class also handles a lot of the high level serialization.

NavGraph AddGraph ( System.Type type )

Adds a graph of type type to the graphs array.

void ClearGraphs ( )

private

Destroys all graphs and sets graphs to null.

NavGraph CreateGraph ( string type )

Creates a new instance of a graph of type type.

If no matching graph type was found, an error is logged and null is returned

Returns: The created graph

See Also: CreateGraph(System.Type)

NavGraph CreateGraph ( System.Type type )

Creates a new graph instance of type type.

See Also: CreateGraph(string)

void DeserializeGraphs ( )

Deserializes graphs from data.

void DeserializeGraphs ( byte[] bytes )

Deserializes graphs from the specified byte array.

If an error occured, it will try to deserialize using the old deserializer. A warning will be logged if all deserializers failed.

void DeserializeGraphsAdditive ( byte[] bytes )

Deserializes graphs from the specified byte array additively.

If an error ocurred, it will try to deserialize using the old deserializer. A warning will be logged if all deserializers failed. This function will add loaded graphs to the current ones

void DeserializeGraphsPart ( Pathfinding.Serialization.AstarSerializer sr )

Deserializes common info.

Common info is what is shared between the editor serialization and the runtime serializer. This is mostly everything except the graph inspectors which serialize some extra data in the editor

void DeserializeGraphsPartAdditive ( Pathfinding.Serialization.AstarSerializer sr )

Deserializes common info additively Common info is what is shared between the editor serialization and the runtime serializer.

This is mostly everything except the graph inspectors which serialize some extra data in the editor

NavGraph FindGraphOfType ( System.Type type )

Returns the first graph of type type found in the graphs array.

Returns null if none was found

IEnumerable FindGraphsOfType ( System.Type type )

Loop through this function to get all graphs of type 'type'.

 foreach (GridGraph graph in AstarPath.astarData.FindGraphsOfType (typeof(GridGraph))) {
    //Do something with the graph
} 

See Also: AstarPath.RegisterSafeNodeUpdate

void FindGraphTypes ( )

Find all graph types supported in this build.

Using reflection, the assembly is searched for types which inherit from NavGraph.

byte [] GetData ( )

static NavGraph GetGraph ( GraphNode node )

static

Returns the graph which contains the specified node.

The graph must be in the graphs array.

Returns: Returns the graph which contains the node. Null if the graph wasn't found

int GetGraphIndex ( NavGraph graph )

Gets the index of the NavGraph in the graphs array.

System.Type GetGraphType ( string type )

Returns: A System.Type which matches the specified type string. If no mathing graph type was found, null is returned

GraphNode GetNode	(	int	graphIndex,
		int	nodeIndex
	)

Returns the node at graphs[graphIndex].nodes[nodeIndex].

All kinds of error checking is done to make sure no exceptions are thrown.

Deprecated:: Use graph specific methods instead

GraphNode GetNode	(	int	graphIndex,
		int	nodeIndex,
		NavGraph[]	graphs
	)

Returns the node at graphs[graphIndex].nodes[nodeIndex].

The graphIndex refers to the specified graphs array.
All kinds of error checking is done to make sure no exceptions are thrown.

Deprecated:: Use graph specific methods instead

IEnumerable GetRaycastableGraphs ( )

All graphs which implements the UpdateableGraph interface.

 foreach (IRaycastableGraph graph in AstarPath.astarData.GetRaycastableGraphs ()) {
    //Do something with the graph
} 

See Also: Pathfinding.IRaycastableGraph

IEnumerable GetUpdateableGraphs ( )

All graphs which implements the UpdateableGraph interface.

 foreach (IUpdatableGraph graph in AstarPath.astarData.GetUpdateableGraphs ()) {
    //Do something with the graph
} 

See Also: AstarPath.RegisterSafeNodeUpdate; Pathfinding.IUpdatableGraph

void LoadFromCache ( )

Load from data from file_cachedStartup.

void OnDestroy ( )

bool RemoveGraph ( NavGraph graph )

Removes the specified graph from the graphs array and Destroys it in a safe manner.

To avoid changing graph indices for the other graphs, the graph is simply nulled in the array instead of actually removing it from the array. The empty position will be reused if a new graph is added.

Returns: True if the graph was sucessfully removed (i.e it did exist in the graphs array). False otherwise.

Version: Changed in 3.2.5 to call SafeOnDestroy before removing and nulling it in the array instead of removing the element completely in the graphs array.

byte [] SerializeGraphs ( )

Serializes all graphs settings to a byte array.

See Also: DeserializeGraphs(byte[])

byte [] SerializeGraphs ( Pathfinding.Serialization.SerializeSettings settings )

Serializes all graphs settings and optionally node data to a byte array.

See Also: DeserializeGraphs(byte[]); Pathfinding.Serialization.SerializeSettings

byte [] SerializeGraphs	(	Pathfinding.Serialization.SerializeSettings	settings,
		out uint	checksum
	)

Main serializer function.

Serializes all graphs to a byte array A similar function exists in the AstarPathEditor.cs script to save additional info

void SerializeGraphsPart ( Pathfinding.Serialization.AstarSerializer sr )

Serializes common info to the serializer.

Common info is what is shared between the editor serialization and the runtime serializer. This is mostly everything except the graph inspectors which serialize some extra data in the editor

void SetData ( byte[] data )

void UpdateShortcuts ( )

Updates shortcuts to the first graph of different types.

Hard coding references to some graph types is not really a good thing imo. I want to keep it dynamic and flexible. But these references ease the use of the system, so I decided to keep them.

Member Data Documentation

bool cacheStartup

Should graph-data be cached.

Caching the startup means saving the whole graphs, not only the settings to an internal array (data_cachedStartup) which can be loaded faster than scanning all graphs at startup. This is setup from the editor.

byte [] data_backup

Backup data if deserialization failed.

byte [] data_cachedStartup

Serialized data for cached startup.

Deprecated:: Deprecated since 3.6, AstarData.file_cachedStartup is now used instead

string dataString

private

Serialized data for all graphs and settings.

Stored as a base64 encoded string because otherwise Unity's Undo system would sometimes corrupt the byte data (because it only stores deltas).

This can be accessed as a byte array from the data property.

Since: 3.6.1

TextAsset file_cachedStartup

Serialized data for cached startup.

If set, on start the graphs will be deserialized from this file.

NavGraph [] graphs = new NavGraph[0]

All graphs this instance holds.

This will be filled only after deserialization has completed. May contain null entries if graph have been removed.

byte [] upgradeData

private

Data from versions from before 3.6.1.

Used for handling upgrades

Since: 3.6.1

UserConnection [] userConnections = new UserConnection[0]

Links placed by the user in the scene view.

Deprecated:
