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:
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
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).

Member Function Documentation
◆ CalculateAffectedRegions()
|
protected |
◆ CalculateConnections() [1/4]
|
static |
Calculates the grid connections for a single node.
- Deprecated:
- Use the instance function instead
◆ CalculateConnections() [2/4]
|
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 |
Calculates the grid connections for a single node.
- Deprecated:
- Use CalculateConnections(x,z) or CalculateConnections(node) instead
◆ CalculateConnections() [4/4]
|
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).
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.
◆ CalculateDimensions()
|
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.

◆ CanUpdateAsync()
|
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()
|
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()
|
static |
◆ ConvertNodeSizeToHexagonSize()
|
static |
◆ CountNodes()
|
virtual |

◆ GetNodesInRegion() [4/5]
Get all nodes in a rectangle.
- Parameters
-
rect Region in which to return nodes. It will be clamped to the grid.

◆ OnDestroy()
|
protectedvirtual |
This function will be called when this graph is destroyed.
Reimplemented from NavGraph.
Reimplemented in LayerGridGraph.
◆ OnDrawGizmos()
|
virtual |
Draw gizmos for the graph.
Reimplemented from NavGraph.
◆ PostDeserialization()
|
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 |
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
-
x X coordinate of the cell z Z coordinate of the cell resetPenalties If 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). resetTags If 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]
|
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
- 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()
|
private |
◆ 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()
|
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.
◆ 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
-
index Index of the node x X coordinate of the node z Z coordinate of the node dir Direction from 0 up to but excluding 8. value Enable or disable the connection
- Note
- This is identical to Pathfinding.Node.SetConnectionInternal
◆ 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] from Point to linecast from. [in] to Point to linecast to. [out] hit Contains info on what was hit, see GraphHitInfo. [in] hint This 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).

◆ UpdateArea()
|
private |

Implements IUpdatableGraph.
◆ UpdateAreaInit()
|
private |
May be called on the Unity thread before starting the update.
- See also

◆ UpdateNodePositionCollision()
|
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.
If connections is Eight, obstacle corners might be cut by a connection, setting this to false disables that.
◆ 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.

- erosionFirstTag
◆ getNearestForceOverlap
| const int getNearestForceOverlap = 2 |
In GetNearestForce, determines how far to search after a valid node has been found.
◆ hexagonNeighbourIndices
|
staticpackage |
Which neighbours are going to be used when neighbours=6.
◆ inspectorGridMode
| InspectorGridMode inspectorGridMode = InspectorGridMode.Grid |
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
| InspectorGridHexagonNodeSize inspectorHexagonSizeMode = InspectorGridHexagonNodeSize.Width |
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.
◆ 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.
◆ maxClimb

Added to a node's index to get a neighbour node index.
◆ neighbours
| NumNeighbours neighbours = NumNeighbours.Eight |
Number of neighbours for each node.
Either four, six, eight connections per node.
Six connections is primarily for emulating hexagon graphs.
◆ neighbourXOffsets

◆ nodes
| GridNode [] nodes |
All nodes in this graph.
Nodes are laid out row by row.

◆ 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
| float penaltyAnglePower = 1 |
How much extra to penalize very steep angles.
◆ penaltyPosition
| bool penaltyPosition |
Use position (y-coordinate) to calculate penalty.

Show the surface of the graph.
Each node will be drawn as a square (unless e.g hexagon graph mode has been enabled).
◆ showNodeConnections
| bool showNodeConnections |
Show the connections between the grid nodes in the Unity Editor.
◆ textureData
| TextureData textureData = new TextureData() |
Holds settings for using a texture as source for a grid graph.
Texure data can be used for fine grained control over how the graph will look. It can be used for positioning, penalty and walkability control.
Below is a screenshot of a grid graph with a penalty map applied. It has the effect of the AI taking the longer path along the green (low penalty) areas.
- A* Pro Feature:
- This is an A* Pathfinding Project Pro feature only. This function/class/variable might not exist in the Free version of the A* Pathfinding Project or the functionality might be limited

- Warning
- Can only be used with Unity 3.4 and up
◆ 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
| bool useJumpPointSearch |
Use jump point search to speed up pathfinding.
Jump point search can improve pathfinding performance significantly by making use of some assumptions of the graph. More specifically it assumes a grid graph with no penalties.
◆ width

- SetDimensions
Property Documentation
◆ Depth
|
