		int	totalThreadCount
	)

Member Function Documentation

void ClearPathIDs

(

)

Set all nodes' pathIDs to 0.

See Also

Pathfinding.PathNode.pathID

void DestroyNode

(

GraphNode

node

)

Internal method to clean up node data.

BinaryHeapM GetHeap

(

)

The internal heap.

Note

Most things can be accomplished with other methods on this class instead.

See Also

PushNode

PopNode

HeapEmpty

PathNode GetPathNode

(

int

nodeIndex

)

PathNode GetPathNode

(

GraphNode

node

)

Returns the PathNode corresponding to the specified node.

The PathNode is specific to this PathHandler since multiple PathHandlers are used at the same time if multithreading is enabled.

bool HeapEmpty

(

)

True if the heap is empty.

void InitializeForPath

(

Path

p

)

void InitializeNode

(

GraphNode

node

)

Internal method to initialize node data.

PathNode PopNode

(

)

Pop the node with the lowest F score from the heap.

void PushNode

(

PathNode

node

)

Push a node to the heap.

void RebuildHeap

(

)

Rebuild the heap to account for changed node values.

Some path types change the target for the H score in the middle of the path calculation, that requires rebuilding the heap to keep it correctly sorted.

Member Data Documentation

Stack<PathNode[]> bucketCache = new Stack<PathNode[]> ()

private

bool [] bucketCreated = new bool[0]

private

const int BucketIndexMask = (1 << BucketSizeLog2)-1

private

bool [] bucketNew = new bool[0]

private

const int BucketSize = 1 << BucketSizeLog2

private

Real bucket size.

const int BucketSizeLog2 = 10

private

Log2 size of buckets.

So 10 yields a real bucket size of 1024. Be careful with large values.

readonly System.Text.StringBuilder DebugStringBuilder = new System.Text.StringBuilder()

StringBuilder that paths can use to build debug strings.

Better for performance and memory usage to use a single StringBuilder instead of each path creating its own

int filledBuckets

private

BinaryHeapM heap = new BinaryHeapM(128)

private

Binary heap to keep track of nodes on the "Open list".

PathNode [][] nodes = new PathNode[0][]

Array of buckets containing PathNodes.

ushort pathID

private

Current PathID.

See Also

PathID

readonly int threadID

readonly int totalThreadCount

Property Documentation

ushort PathID

get

ID for the path currently being calculated or last path that was calculated.
