◆ Calculate() [1/2]

static List<Vector3> Calculate	(	FunnelPortals	funnel,
		bool	unwrap,
		bool	splitAtEveryPortal
	)

static

Calculate the shortest path through the funnel.

Parameters

funnel	The portals of the funnel. The first and last vertices portals must be single points (so for example left[0] == right[0]).
unwrap	Determines if twists and bends should be straightened out before running the funnel algorithm.
splitAtEveryPortal	If true, then a vertex will be inserted every time the path crosses a portal instead of only at the corners of the path. The result will have exactly one vertex per portal if this is enabled. This may introduce vertices with the same position in the output (esp. in corners where many portals meet).

If the unwrap option is disabled the funnel will simply be projected onto the XZ plane. If the unwrap option is enabled then the funnel may be oriented arbitrarily and may have twists and bends. This makes it possible to support the funnel algorithm in XY space as well as in more complicated cases, such as on curved worlds.

◆ Calculate() [2/2]

static void Calculate	(	Vector2 []	left,
		Vector2 []	right,
		int	numPortals,
		int	startIndex,
		List< int >	funnelPath,
		int	maxCorners,
		out bool	lastCorner
	)

staticprivate

Funnel algorithm.

funnelPath will be filled with the result. The result is the indices of the vertices that were picked, a non-negative value refers to the corresponding index in the left array, a negative value refers to the corresponding index in the right array. So e.g 5 corresponds to left[5] and -2 corresponds to right[2]

◆ ConstructFunnelPortals()

static FunnelPortals ConstructFunnelPortals	(	List< GraphNode >	nodes,
		PathPart	part
	)

static

◆ FixFunnel()

static int FixFunnel	(	Vector2 []	left,
		Vector2 []	right,
		int	numPortals
	)

staticprivate

Try to fix degenerate or invalid funnels.

Returns: The number of vertices at the start of both arrays that should be ignored or -1 if the algorithm failed.

◆ FromXZ()

static Vector3 FromXZ ( Vector2 p )

staticprotected

◆ LeftOrColinear()

static bool LeftOrColinear	(	Vector2	a,
		Vector2	b
	)

staticprotected

True if b is to the left of or on the line from (0,0) to a.

◆ RightOrColinear()

static bool RightOrColinear	(	Vector2	a,
		Vector2	b
	)

staticprotected

True if b is to the right of or on the line from (0,0) to a.

static Vector2 ToXZ ( Vector3 p )

staticprotected

◆ Unwrap()

static void Unwrap	(	FunnelPortals	funnel,
		Vector2 []	left,
		Vector2 []	right
	)

static

Unwraps the funnel portals from 3D space to 2D space.

The result is stored in the left and right arrays which must be at least as large as the funnel.left and funnel.right lists.

The input is a funnel like in the image below. It may be rotated and twisted.

The output will be a funnel in 2D space like in the image below. All twists and bends will have been straightened out.
