Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GridNodeBase()

GridNodeBase ( AstarPath  astar)
protected

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddConnection()

override void AddConnection ( GraphNode  node,
uint  cost 
)
virtual

Add a connection from this node to the specified node.

If the connection already exists, the cost will simply be updated and no extra connection added.

Note
Only adds a one-way connection. Consider calling the same function on the other node to get a two-way connection.

Implements GraphNode.

◆ ClearConnections()

override void ClearConnections ( bool  alsoReverse)
virtual

Remove all connections from this node.

Parameters
alsoReverseif true, neighbours will be requested to remove connections to this node.

Implements GraphNode.

◆ ClearCustomConnections()

void ClearCustomConnections ( bool  alsoReverse)

Same as ClearConnections, but does not clear grid connections, only custom ones (e.g added by AddConnection or a NodeLink component)

◆ ContainsConnection()

override bool ContainsConnection ( GraphNode  node)
virtual

Checks if this node has a connection to the specified node.

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

◆ DeserializeReferences()

override void DeserializeReferences ( GraphSerializationContext  ctx)
virtual

Used to deserialize references to other nodes e.g connections.

Use the GraphSerializationContext.GetNodeIdentifier and GraphSerializationContext.GetNodeFromIdentifier methods for serialization and deserialization respectively.

Nodes must override this method and serialize their connections. Graph generators do not need to call this method, it will be called automatically on all nodes at the correct time by the serializer.

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

◆ FloodFill()

override void FloodFill ( System.Collections.Generic.Stack< GraphNode stack,
uint  region 
)

◆ GetConnections()

override void GetConnections ( System.Action< GraphNode action)
virtual

Calls the delegate with all connections from this node.

node.GetConnections(connectedTo => {
Debug.DrawLine((Vector3)node.position, (Vector3)connectedTo.position, Color.red);
});

You can add all connected nodes to a list like this

var connections = new List<GraphNode>();
node.GetConnections(connections.Add);

Implements GraphNode.

◆ GetGizmoHashCode()

override int GetGizmoHashCode ( )
virtual

Hash code used for checking if the gizmos need to be updated.

Will change when the gizmos for the node might change.

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

◆ GetNeighbourAlongDirection()

abstract GridNodeBase GetNeighbourAlongDirection ( int  direction)
pure virtual

Adjacent grid node in the specified direction.

This will return null if the node does not have a connection to a node in that direction.

The dir parameter corresponds to directions in the grid as:

Z
|
|
6 2 5
\ | /
-- 3 - X - 1 ----- X
/ | \
7 0 4
|
|

GetConnections

Implemented in LevelGridNode, and GridNode.

◆ Open()

override void Open ( Path  path,
PathNode  pathNode,
PathHandler  handler 
)
virtual

Open the node.

Implements GraphNode.

◆ RandomPointOnSurface()

override Vector3 RandomPointOnSurface ( )
virtual

A random point on the surface of the node.

For point nodes and other nodes which do not have a surface, this will always return the position of the node.

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

◆ RemoveConnection()

override void RemoveConnection ( GraphNode  node)
virtual

Removes any connection from this node to the specified node.

If no such connection exists, nothing will be done.

Note
This only removes the connection from this node to the other node. You may want to call the same function on the other node to remove its eventual connection to this node.

Implements GraphNode.

◆ SerializeReferences()

override void SerializeReferences ( GraphSerializationContext  ctx)
virtual

Used to serialize references to other nodes e.g connections.

Use the GraphSerializationContext.GetNodeIdentifier and GraphSerializationContext.GetNodeFromIdentifier methods for serialization and deserialization respectively.

Nodes must override this method and serialize their connections. Graph generators do not need to call this method, it will be called automatically on all nodes at the correct time by the serializer.

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

◆ SurfaceArea()

override float SurfaceArea ( )
virtual

The surface area of the node in square world units.

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

◆ UpdateRecursiveG()

override void UpdateRecursiveG ( Path  path,
PathNode  pathNode,
PathHandler  handler 
)
virtual

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

Property Documentation

◆ HasConnectionsToAllEightNeighbours

abstract bool HasConnectionsToAllEightNeighbours
get

True if the node has grid connections to all its 8 neighbours.

Note
This will always return false if GridGraph.neighbours is set to anything other than Eight.

GetNeighbourAlongDirection

◆ NodeInGridIndex

int NodeInGridIndex
getset

The index of the node in the grid.

This is x + z*graph.width So you can get the X and Z indices using

int index = node.NodeInGridIndex;
int x = index % graph.width;
int z = index / graph.width;
// where graph is GridNode.GetGridGraph (node.graphIndex), i.e the graph the nodes are contained in.

◆ TmpWalkable

bool TmpWalkable
getset

Temporary variable used internally when updating the graph.

◆ WalkableErosion

bool WalkableErosion
getset

Stores walkability before erosion is applied.

Used internally when updating the graph.

◆ XCoordinateInGrid

int XCoordinateInGrid
get

X coordinate of the node in the grid.

The node in the bottom left corner has (x,z) = (0,0) and the one in the opposite corner has (x,z) = (width-1, depth-1)

See also
ZCoordInGrid
NodeInGridIndex

◆ ZCoordinateInGrid

int ZCoordinateInGrid
get

Z coordinate of the node in the grid.

The node in the bottom left corner has (x,z) = (0,0) and the one in the opposite corner has (x,z) = (width-1, depth-1)
