GridGraph Class Reference

Generates a grid of nodes. More...

Detailed Description

Generates a grid of nodes.

The GridGraph does exactly what the name implies, generates nodes in a grid pattern.
Grid graphs suit well to when you already have a grid based world. Features:

  • You can update the graph during runtime (good for e.g Tower Defence or RTS games)
  • Throw any scene at it, with minimal configurations you can get a good graph from it.
  • Supports raycast and the funnel algorithm
  • Predictable pattern
  • Can apply penalty and walkability values from a supplied image
  • Perfect for terrain worlds since it can make areas unwalkable depending on the slope

The The Snap Size button snaps the internal size of the graph to exactly contain the current number of nodes, i.e not contain 100.3 nodes but exactly 100 nodes.
This will make the "center" coordinate more accurate.
Updating the graph during runtime
Any graph which implements the IUpdatableGraph interface can be updated during runtime.
For grid graphs this is a great feature since you can update only a small part of the grid without causing any lag like a complete rescan would.
If you for example just have instantiated a sphere obstacle in the scene and you want to update the grid where that sphere was instantiated, you can do this:

AstarPath.active.UpdateGraphs (ob.collider.bounds);

Where ob is the obstacle you just instantiated (a GameObject).
As you can see, the UpdateGraphs function takes a Bounds parameter and it will send an update call to all updateable graphs.
A grid graph will update that area and a small margin around it equal to collision testing diameter/2

Graph Updates during Runtime for more info about updating Graph Types during runtime

Hexagon graphs
The graph can be configured to work like a hexagon graph with some simple settings. Since 4.1.x the grid graph has a 'Shape' dropdown. If you set it to 'Hexagonal' the graph will behave as a hexagon graph. Often you may want to rotate the graph +45 or -45 degrees.

Note however that the snapping to the closest node is not exactly as you would expect in a real hexagon graph, but it is close enough that you will likely not notice.

Configure using code

// This holds all graph data
AstarData data = AstarPath.active.data;
// This creates a Grid Graph
GridGraph gg = data.AddGraph(typeof(GridGraph)) as GridGraph;
// Setup a grid graph with some values
int width = 50;
int depth = 50;
float nodeSize = 1;
gg.center = new Vector3(10, 0, 0);
// Updates internal size from the above values
gg.SetDimensions(width, depth, nodeSize);
// Scans all graphs

Tree colliders
It seems that Unity will only generate tree colliders at runtime when the game is started. For this reason, the grid graph will not pick up tree colliders when outside of play mode but it will pick them up once the game starts. If it still does not pick them up make sure that the trees actually have colliders attached to them and that the tree prefabs are in the correct layer (the layer should be included in the 'Collision Testing' mask).

out IntRect  originalRect,
out IntRect  affectRect,
out IntRect  physicsRect,
out bool  willChangeWalkability,
out int  erosion 
)
protected

◆ CalculateConnections() [1/4]

static void CalculateConnections ( GridNode  node)
static

Calculates the grid connections for a single node.

Deprecated:
Use the instance function instead

◆ CalculateConnections() [2/4]

virtual void CalculateConnections ( GridNodeBase  node)
virtual

Calculates the grid connections for a single node.

Convenience function, it's slightly faster to use CalculateConnections(int,int) but that will only show when calculating for a large number of nodes. This function will also work for both grid graphs and layered grid graphs.

Reimplemented in LayerGridGraph.

◆ CalculateConnections() [3/4]

virtual void CalculateConnections ( int  x,
int  z,
GridNode  node 
)
virtual

Calculates the grid connections for a single node.

Deprecated:
Use CalculateConnections(x,z) or CalculateConnections(node) instead

◆ CalculateConnections() [4/4]

virtual void CalculateConnections ( int  x,
int  z 
)
virtual

Calculates the grid connections for a single node.

Note that to ensure that connections are completely up to date after updating a node you have to calculate the connections for both the changed node and its neighbours.

In a layered grid graph, this will recalculate the connections for all nodes in the (x,z) cell (it may have multiple layers of nodes).

See also
CalculateConnections(GridNodeBase)

Reimplemented in LayerGridGraph.

◆ CalculateConnectionsForCellAndNeighbours()

void CalculateConnectionsForCellAndNeighbours ( int  x,
int  z 
)

Calculates the grid connections for a cell as well as its neighbours.

This is a useful utility function if you want to modify the walkability of a single node in the graph.

var grid = AstarPath.active.data.gridGraph;
int x = 5;
int z = 7;
// Mark a single node as unwalkable
grid.GetNode(x, z).Walkable = false;
// Recalculate the connections for that node as well as its neighbours
grid.CalculateConnectionsForCellAndNeighbours(x, z);
});

◆ CalculateDimensions()

void CalculateDimensions ( out int  width,
out int  depth,
out float  nodeSize 
)
private

Calculates the width/depth of the graph from unclampedSize and nodeSize.

The node size may be changed due to constraints that the width/depth is not allowed to be larger than 1024 (artificial limit).

◆ CalculateTransform()

GraphTransform CalculateTransform ( )

Returns a new transform which transforms graph space to world space.

Does not update the transform field.

See also
UpdateTransform

◆ CanUpdateAsync()

GraphUpdateThreading IUpdatableGraph. CanUpdateAsync ( GraphUpdateObject  o)
private

Implements IUpdatableGraph.

◆ CheckConnection()

bool CheckConnection ( GridNode  node,
int  dir 
)

Returns if node is connected to it's neighbour in the specified direction.

This will also return true if neighbours = NumNeighbours.Four, the direction is diagonal and one can move through one of the adjacent nodes to the targeted node.

See also
neighbourOffsets

◆ ClipLineSegmentToBounds()

bool ClipLineSegmentToBounds ( Vector3  a,
Vector3  b,
out Vector3  outA,
out Vector3  outB 
)
protected

Clips a line segment in graph space to the graph bounds.

That is (0,0,0) is the bottom left corner of the graph and (width,0,depth) is the top right corner. The first node is placed at (0.5,y,0.5). One unit distance is the same as nodeSize.

Returns false if the line segment does not intersect the graph at all.

◆ ConvertHexagonSizeToNodeSize()

float  value 
)
static

◆ ConvertNodeSizeToHexagonSize()

static float ConvertNodeSizeToHexagonSize ( InspectorGridHexagonNodeSize  mode,
float  value 
)
static

◆ CountNodes()

override int CountNodes ( )
virtual

Number of nodes in the graph.

Note that this is, unless the graph type has overriden it, an O(n) operation.

This is an O(1) operation for grid graphs and point graphs. For layered grid graphs it is an O(n) operation.

Reimplemented from NavGraph.

Reimplemented in LayerGridGraph.

◆ CreateNavmeshSurfaceVisualization()

void CreateNavmeshSurfaceVisualization ( GridNodeBase []  nodes,
int  nodeCount,
GraphGizmoHelper  helper

int x = 5;
int z = 8;
GridNodeBase node = gg.GetNode(x, z);

If you know the coordinate is inside the grid and you are looking to maximize performance then you can look up the node in the internal array directly which is slightly faster.

◆ GetNodeConnection() [1/2]

GridNode GetNodeConnection ( GridNode  node,
int  dir 
)

◆ GetNodeConnection() [2/2]

gg.GetNodes(node => {
// Here is a node
Debug.Log("I found a node at position " + (Vector3)node.position);
});

If you want to store all nodes in a list you can do this

Parameters
rectRegion in which to return nodes. It will be clamped to the grid.

Reimplemented in LayerGridGraph.

◆ GetNodesInRegion() [5/5]

virtual int GetNodesInRegion ( IntRect  rect,
GridNodeBase []  buffer 
)
virtual

Get all nodes in a rectangle.

Parameters
rectRegion in which to return nodes. It will be clamped to the grid.
bufferBuffer in which the nodes will be stored. Should be at least as large as the number of nodes that can exist in that region.
Returns
The number of nodes written to the buffer.
Note
This method is much faster than GetNodesInRegion(IntRect) which returns a list because this method can make use of the highly optimized System.Array.Copy method.

Reimplemented in LayerGridGraph.

◆ GetRectFromBounds()

IntRect GetRectFromBounds ( Bounds  bounds)
protected

A rect with all nodes that the bounds could touch.

This correctly handles rotated graphs and other transformations. The returned rect is guaranteed to not extend outside the graph bounds.

◆ GraphPointToWorld()

Int3 GraphPointToWorld ( int  x,
int  z,
float  height 
)

Transform a point in graph space to world space.

This will give you the node position for the node at the given x and z coordinate if it is at the specified height above the base of the graph.

◆ HasNodeConnection() [1/2]

bool HasNodeConnection ( GridNode  node,
int  dir 
)

◆ HasNodeConnection() [2/2]

bool HasNodeConnection ( int  index,
int  x,
int  z,
int  dir 
)

◆ IsValidConnection()

virtual bool IsValidConnection ( GridNodeBase  node1,
GridNodeBase  node2 
)
virtual

Returns true if a connection between the adjacent nodes n1 and n2 is valid.

Also takes into account if the nodes are walkable.

This method may be overriden if you want to customize what connections are valid. It must however hold that IsValidConnection(a,b) == IsValidConnection(b,a).

This is used for calculating the connections when the graph is scanned or updated.

◆ Linecast() [1/5]

bool Linecast ( Vector3  from,
Vector3  to 
)

Returns if there is an obstacle between from and to on the graph.

This is not the same as Physics.Linecast, this function traverses the graph and looks for collisions.

var gg = AstarPath.active.data.gridGraph;
bool anyObstaclesInTheWay = gg.Linecast(transform.position, enemy.position);

This is not the same as Physics.Linecast, this function traverses the graph and looks for collisions.

var gg = AstarPath.active.data.gridGraph;
bool anyObstaclesInTheWay = gg.Linecast(transform.position, enemy.position);
Version
In 3.6.8 this method was rewritten to improve accuracy and performance. Previously it used a sampling approach which could cut corners of obstacles slightly and was pretty inefficient.

◆ Linecast() [5/5]

bool Linecast ( GridNodeBase  fromNode,
GridNodeBase  toNode 
)

Returns if there is an obstacle between the two nodes on the graph.

This method is very similar to the other Linecast methods however it is much faster due to being able to use only integer math and not having to look up which node is closest to a particular input point.

var gg = AstarPath.active.data.gridGraph;
var node1 = gg.GetNode(2, 3);
var node2 = gg.GetNode(5, 7);
bool anyObstaclesInTheWay = gg.Linecast(node1, node2);

◆ OnDestroy()

override void OnDestroy ( )
protectedvirtual

This function will be called when this graph is destroyed.

Reimplemented from NavGraph.

Reimplemented in LayerGridGraph.

◆ OnDrawGizmos()

override void OnDrawGizmos ( RetainedGizmos  gizmos,
bool  drawNodes 
)
virtual

Draw gizmos for the graph.

Reimplemented from NavGraph.

◆ PostDeserialization()

override void PostDeserialization ( GraphSerializationContext  ctx)
protectedvirtual

Called after all deserialization has been done for all graphs.

Can be used to set up more graph data which is not serialized

Reimplemented from NavGraph.

Reimplemented in LayerGridGraph.

◆ RecalculateCell()

virtual void RecalculateCell ( int  x,
int  z,
bool  resetPenalties = true,
bool  resetTags = true 
)
virtual

Recalculates single node in the graph.

For a layered grid graph this will recalculate all nodes at a specific (x,z) cell in the grid. For grid graphs this will simply recalculate the single node at those coordinates.

Parameters
xX coordinate of the cell
zZ coordinate of the cell
resetPenaltiesIf true, the penalty of the nodes will be reset to the initial value as if the graph had just been scanned (this excludes texture data however which is only done when scanning the graph).
resetTagsIf true, the tag will be reset to zero (the default tag).
Note
This must only be called when it is safe to update nodes. For example when scanning the graph or during a graph update.
This will not recalculate any connections as this method is often run for several adjacent nodes at a time. After you have recalculated all the nodes you will have to recalculate the connections for the changed nodes as well as their neighbours.
See also
CalculateConnections

Reimplemented in LayerGridGraph.

◆ RelocateNodes() [1/2]

override void RelocateNodes ( Matrix4x4  deltaMatrix)
virtual

Moves the nodes in this graph.

Multiplies all node positions by deltaMatrix.

For example if you want to move all your nodes in e.g a point graph 10 units along the X axis from the initial position

var graph = AstarPath.data.pointGraph;
var m = Matrix4x4.TRS (new Vector3(10,0,0), Quaternion.identity, Vector3.one);
graph.RelocateNodes (m);
Note
For grid graphs, navmesh graphs and recast graphs it is recommended to use their custom overloads of the RelocateNodes method which take parameters for e.g center and nodeSize (and additional parameters) instead since they are both easier to use and are less likely to mess up pathfinding.
Warning
This method is lossy for PointGraphs, so calling it many times may cause node positions to lose precision. For example if you set the scale to 0 in one call then all nodes will be scaled/moved to the same point and you will not be able to recover their original positions. The same thing happens for other - less extreme - values as well, but to a lesser degree.

Reimplemented from NavGraph.

◆ RelocateNodes() [2/2]

void RelocateNodes ( Vector3  center,
Quaternion  rotation,
float  nodeSize,
float  aspectRatio = 1,
float  isometricAngle = 0 
)

Relocate the grid graph using new settings.

This will move all nodes in the graph to new positions which matches the new settings.

◆ RemoveGridGraphFromStatic()

void RemoveGridGraphFromStatic ( )
private

◆ ScanInternal()

override IEnumerable<Progress> ScanInternal ( )
protectedvirtual

Internal method to scan the graph.

Called from AstarPath.ScanAsync. Override this function to implement custom scanning logic. Progress objects can be yielded to show progress info in the editor and to split up processing over several frames when using async scanning.

Implements NavGraph.

Reimplemented in LayerGridGraph.

◆ SerializeExtraInfo()

override void SerializeExtraInfo ( GraphSerializationContext  ctx)
protectedvirtual

Serializes graph type specific node data.

This function can be overriden to serialize extra node information (or graph information for that matter) which cannot be serialized using the standard serialization. Serialize the data in any way you want and return a byte array. When loading, the exact same byte array will be passed to the DeserializeExtraInfo function.
These functions will only be called if node serialization is enabled.

Reimplemented from NavGraph.

Reimplemented in LayerGridGraph.

◆ SetDimensions()

void SetDimensions ( int  width,
int  depth,
float  nodeSize 
)

Updates unclampedSize from width, depth and nodeSize values.

Also generates a new matrix .

Note
This does not rescan the graph, that must be done with Scan

You should use this method instead of setting the width and depth fields as the grid dimensions are not defined by the width and depth variables but by the unclampedSize and center variables.

var gg = AstarPath.active.data.gridGraph;
var width = 80;
var depth = 60;
var nodeSize = 1.0f;
gg.SetDimensions(width, depth, nodeSize);
// Recalculate the graph

◆ SetNodeConnection() [1/2]

void SetNodeConnection ( GridNode  node,
int  dir,
bool  value 
)

◆ SetNodeConnection() [2/2]

void SetNodeConnection ( int  index,
int  x,
int  z,
int  dir,
bool  value 
)

Set if connection in the specified direction should be enabled.

Note that bounds checking will still be done when getting the connection value again, so it is not necessarily true that HasNodeConnection will return true just because you used SetNodeConnection on a node to set a connection to true.

Parameters
indexIndex of the node
xX coordinate of the node
zZ coordinate of the node
dirDirection from 0 up to but excluding 8.
valueEnable or disable the connection
Note
This is identical to Pathfinding.Node.SetConnectionInternal
Deprecated:

◆ SetUpOffsetsAndCosts()

virtual void SetUpOffsetsAndCosts ( )
virtual

Sets up neighbourOffsets with the current settings.

neighbourOffsets, neighbourCosts, neighbourXOffsets and neighbourZOffsets are set up.
The cost for a non-diagonal movement between two adjacent nodes is RoundToInt (nodeSize * Int3.Precision)
The cost for a diagonal movement between two adjacent nodes is RoundToInt (nodeSize * Sqrt (2) * Int3.Precision)

◆ SnappedLinecast()

bool SnappedLinecast ( Vector3  from,
Vector3  to,
GraphNode  hint,
out GraphHitInfo  hit 
)

Returns if there is an obstacle between from and to on the graph.

Parameters
[in]fromPoint to linecast from.
[in]toPoint to linecast to.
[out]hitContains info on what was hit, see GraphHitInfo.
[in]hintThis parameter is deprecated. It will be ignored.

This function is different from the other Linecast functions since it snaps the start and end positions to the centers of the closest nodes on the graph. This is not the same as Physics.Linecast, this function traverses the graph and looks for collisions.

Version
Since 3.6.8 this method uses the same implementation as the other linecast methods so there is no performance boost to using it.
In 3.6.8 this method was rewritten and that fixed a large number of bugs. Previously it had not always followed the line exactly as it should have and the hit output was not very accurate (for example the hit point was just the node position instead of a point on the edge which was hit).

◆ UpdateNodePositionCollision()

virtual void UpdateNodePositionCollision ( GridNode  node,
int  x,
int  z,
bool  resetPenalty = true 
)
virtual

Updates position, walkability and penalty for the node.

Assumes that collision.Initialize (...) has been called before this function

Deprecated:
Use RecalculateCell instead which works both for grid graphs and layered grid graphs.

◆ UpdateSizeFromWidthDepth()

void UpdateSizeFromWidthDepth ( )

Updates unclampedSize from width, depth and nodeSize values.

Deprecated:
Use SetDimensions instead

◆ UpdateTransform()

void UpdateTransform ( )

Updates the transform field which transforms graph space to world space.

In graph space all nodes are laid out in the XZ plane with the first node having a corner in the origin. One unit in graph space is one node so the first node in the graph is at (0.5,0) the second one at (1.5,0) etc.

This takes the current values of the parameters such as position and rotation into account. The transform that was used the last time the graph was scanned is stored in the transform field.

The transform field is calculated using this method when the graph is scanned. The width, depth variables are also updated based on the unclampedSize field.

Member Data Documentation

◆ aspectRatio

float aspectRatio = 1F

Scaling of the graph along the X axis.

This should be used if you want different scales on the X and Y axis of the grid

◆ center

Vector3 center

Center point of the grid.

◆ collision

GraphCollision collision

Settings on how to check for walkability and height.

◆ cutCorners

bool cutCorners = true

If disabled, will not cut corners on obstacles.

◆ depth

int depth

Depth (height) of the grid in nodes.

See also
SetDimensions

◆ erodeIterations

int erodeIterations

Erosion of the graph.

The graph can be eroded after calculation. This means a margin is put around unwalkable nodes or other unwalkable connections. It is really good if your graph contains ledges where the nodes without erosion are walkable too close to the edge.

Below is an image showing a graph with erode iterations 0, 1 and 2

Note
A high number of erode iterations can seriously slow down graph updates during runtime (GraphUpdateObject) and should be kept as low as possible.
See also
erosionUseTags

◆ erosionFirstTag

int erosionFirstTag = 1

Tag to start from when using tags for erosion.

See also
erosionUseTags
erodeIterations

◆ erosionUseTags

bool erosionUseTags

Use tags instead of walkability for erosion.

Tags will be used for erosion instead of marking nodes as unwalkable. The nodes will be marked with tags in an increasing order starting with the tag erosionFirstTag. Debug with the Tags mode to see the effect. With this enabled you can in effect set how close different AIs are allowed to get to walls using the Valid Tags field on the Seeker component.

In GetNearestForce, determines how far to search after a valid node has been found.

◆ hexagonNeighbourIndices

readonly int [] hexagonNeighbourIndices = { 0, 1, 5, 2, 3, 7 }
staticpackage

Which neighbours are going to be used when neighbours=6.

◆ inspectorGridMode

Determines the layout of the grid graph inspector in the Unity Editor.

This field is only used in the editor, it has no effect on the rest of the game whatsoever.

◆ inspectorHexagonSizeMode

Determines how the size of each hexagon is set in the inspector.

For hexagons the normal nodeSize field doesn't really correspond to anything specific on the hexagon's geometry, so this enum is used to give the user the opportunity to adjust more concrete dimensions of the hexagons without having to pull out a calculator to calculate all the square roots and complicated conversion factors.

This field is only used in the graph inspector, the nodeSize field will always use the same internal units. If you want to set the node size through code then you can use ConvertHexagonSizeToNodeSize.

See also
InspectorGridHexagonNodeSize
ConvertHexagonSizeToNodeSize
ConvertNodeSizeToHexagonSize

◆ isometricAngle

float isometricAngle

Angle to use for the isometric projection.

If you are making a 2D isometric game, you may want to use this parameter to adjust the layout of the graph to match your game. This will essentially scale the graph along one of its diagonals to produce something like this:

A perspective view of an isometric graph.

A top down view of an isometric graph. Note that the graph is entirely 2D, there is no perspective in this image.

Usually the angle that you want to use is either 30 degrees (alternatively 90-30 = 60 degrees) or atan(1/sqrt(2)) which is approximately 35.264 degrees (alternatively 90 - 35.264 = 54.736 degrees). You might also want to rotate the graph plus or minus 45 degrees around the Y axis to get the oritientation required for your game.

You can read more about it on the wikipedia page linked below.

◆ penaltyAngle

bool penaltyAngle

◆ penaltyAngleFactor

float penaltyAngleFactor = 100F

How much penalty is applied depending on the slope of the terrain.

At a 90 degree slope (not that exactly 90 degree slopes can occur, but almost 90 degree), this penalty is applied. At a 45 degree slope, half of this is applied and so on. Note that you may require very large values, a value of 1000 is equivalent to the cost of moving 1 world unit.

◆ penaltyAnglePower

◆ unclampedSize

Vector2 unclampedSize

Size of the grid.

Might be negative or smaller than nodeSize

◆ uniformEdgeCosts

bool uniformEdgeCosts

If true, all edge costs will be set to the same value.

If false, diagonals will cost more. This is useful for a hexagon graph where the diagonals are actually the same length as the normal edges (since the graph has been skewed)

◆ useJumpPointSearch
