Class AIPathAlignedToSurface Extends AIPath

void UpdateMovementPlanes (

AIPathAlignedToSurface[]	components
int	count

)

Calculates smoothly interpolated normals for all raycast hits and uses that to set the movement planes of the agents.

To support meshes that change at any time, we use Mesh.AcquireReadOnlyMeshData to get a read-only view of the mesh data. This is only efficient if we batch all updates and make a single call to Mesh.AcquireReadOnlyMeshData.

This method is quite convoluted due to having to read the raw vertex data streams from unity meshes to avoid allocations.

void DrawGizmos ()

void DrawGizmos ()

void FinalizeMovement (

Vector3	nextPosition	New position of the agent.
Quaternion	nextRotation	New rotation of the agent. If enableRotation is false then this parameter will be ignored.

)

Moves the agent to a position.

This is used if you want to override how the agent moves. For example if you are using root motion with Mecanim.

This will use a CharacterController, Rigidbody, Rigidbody2D or the Transform component depending on what options are available.

The agent will be clamped to the navmesh after the movement (if such information is available, generally this is only done by the RichAI component).

void FindComponents ()

Looks for any attached components like RVOController and CharacterController etc.

This is done during OnEnable. If you are adding/removing components during runtime you may want to call this function to make sure that this script finds them. It is unfortunately prohibitive from a performance standpoint to look for components every frame.

Vector3 GetFeetPosition ()

Position of the base of the character.

This is used for pathfinding as the character's pivot point is sometimes placed at the center of the character instead of near the feet. In a building with multiple floors the center of a character may in some scenarios be closer to the navmesh on the floor above than to the floor below which could cause an incorrect path to be calculated. To solve this the start point of the requested paths is always at the base of the character.

void GetRemainingPath (

List<Vector3>	buffer	The buffer will be cleared and replaced with the path. The first point is the current position of the agent.
out bool	stale	May be true if the path is invalid in some way. For example if the agent has no path or (for the RichAI/FollowerEntity components only) if the agent has detected that some nodes in the path have been destroyed.

)

Fills buffer with the remaining path.

var buffer = new List<Vector3>();

ai.GetRemainingPath(buffer, out bool stale);
for (int i = 0; i < buffer.Count - 1; i++) {
Debug.DrawLine(buffer[i], buffer[i+1], Color.red);
}


void GetRemainingPath (

List<Vector3>	buffer	The buffer will be cleared and replaced with the path. The first point is the current position of the agent.
List<PathPartWithLinkInfo>	partsBuffer	If not null, this list will be cleared and filled with information about the different parts of the path. A part is a sequence of nodes or an off-mesh link.
out bool	stale	May be true if the path is invalid in some way. For example if the agent has no path or (for the RichAI/FollowerEntity components only) if the agent has detected that some nodes in the path have been destroyed.

)

Fills buffer with the remaining path.

var buffer = new List<Vector3>();
var parts = new List<PathPartWithLinkInfo>();

ai.GetRemainingPath(buffer, parts, out bool stale);
foreach (var part in parts) {
for (int i = part.startIndex; i < part.endIndex; i++) {
Debug.DrawLine(buffer[i], buffer[i+1], part.type == Funnel.PartType.NodeSequence ? Color.red : Color.green);
}
}


void Move (

Vector3

deltaPosition

Direction and distance to move the agent in world space.

)

Move the agent.

This is intended for external movement forces such as those applied by wind, conveyor belts, knockbacks etc.

Some movement scripts may ignore this completely (notably the AILerp script) if it does not have any concept of being moved externally.

The agent will not be moved immediately when calling this method. Instead this offset will be stored and then applied the next time the agent runs its movement calculations (which is usually later this frame or the next frame). If you want to move the agent immediately then call: ai.Move(someVector);
ai.FinalizeMovement(ai.position, ai.rotation);


void MovementUpdate (

float	deltaTime	time to simulate movement for. Usually set to Time.deltaTime.
out Vector3	nextPosition	the position that the agent wants to move to during this frame.
out Quaternion	nextRotation	the rotation that the agent wants to rotate to during this frame.

)

Calculate how the character wants to move during this frame.

Note that this does not actually move the character. You need to call FinalizeMovement for that. This is called automatically unless canMove is false.

To handle movement yourself you can disable canMove and call this method manually. This code will replicate the normal behavior of the component: void Update () {
// Disable the AIs own movement code
ai.canMove = false;
Vector3 nextPosition;
Quaternion nextRotation;
// Calculate how the AI wants to move
ai.MovementUpdate(Time.deltaTime, out nextPosition, out nextRotation);
// Modify nextPosition and nextRotation in any way you wish
// Actually move the AI
ai.FinalizeMovement(nextPosition, nextRotation);
}


void SearchPath ()

Recalculate the current path.

You can for example use this if you want very quick reaction times when you have changed the destination so that the agent does not have to wait until the next automatic path recalculation (see canSearch).

If there is an ongoing path calculation, it will be canceled, so make sure you leave time for the paths to get calculated before calling this function again. A canceled path will show up in the log with the message "Canceled by script" (see Seeker.CancelCurrentPathRequest).

If no destination has been set yet then nothing will be done.

void SetPath (

Path	path	The path to follow.
bool	updateDestinationFromPath=true	If true, the destination property will be set to the end point of the path. If false, the previous destination value will be kept.

)

Make the AI follow the specified path.

In case the path has not been calculated, the script will call seeker.StartPath to calculate it. This means the AI may not actually start to follow the path until in a few frames when the path has been calculated. The pathPending field will as usual return true while the path is being calculated.

In case the path has already been calculated it will immediately replace the current path the AI is following. This is useful if you want to replace how the AI calculates its paths.

If you pass null as a parameter then the current path will be cleared and the agent will stop moving. Note than unless you have also disabled canSearch then the agent will soon recalculate its path and start moving again.

You can disable the automatic path recalculation by setting the canSearch field to false.

// Disable the automatic path recalculation
ai.canSearch = false;
var pointToAvoid = enemy.position;
// Make the AI flee from the enemy.
// The path will be about 20 world units long (the default cost of moving 1 world unit is 1000).
var path = FleePath.Construct(ai.position, pointToAvoid, 1000 * 20);
ai.SetPath(path);


Color ShapeGizmoColor = new Color(240/255f, 213/255f, 30/255f)

Quaternion SimulateRotationTowards (

Vector3	direction	Direction in world space to rotate towards.
float	maxDegrees	Maximum number of degrees to rotate this frame.

)

Simulates rotating the agent towards the specified direction and returns the new rotation.

Note that this only calculates a new rotation, it does not change the actual rotation of the agent. Useful when you are handling movement externally using FinalizeMovement but you want to use the built-in rotation code.

void Teleport (

Vector3	newPosition
bool	clearPath=true

)

Instantly move the agent to a new position.

This will trigger a path recalculation (if clearPath is true, which is the default) so if you want to teleport the agent and change its destination it is recommended that you set the destination before calling this method.

The current path will be cleared by default.

This method is preferred for long distance teleports. If you only move the agent a very small distance (so that it is reasonable that it can keep its current path), then setting the position property is preferred. When using the FollowerEntity movement script, setting the position property when using a long distance teleport could cause the agent to fail to move the full distance, as it can get blocked by the navmesh.

bool alwaysDrawGizmos

Draws detailed gizmos constantly in the scene view instead of only when the agent is selected and settings are being modified.

AutoRepathPolicy autoRepath = new AutoRepathPolicy()

Determines how the agent recalculates its path automatically.

This corresponds to the settings under the "Recalculate Paths Automatically" field in the inspector.

bool canMove = true

Enables or disables movement completely.

If you want the agent to stand still, but still react to local avoidance and use gravity: use isStopped instead.

This is also useful if you want to have full control over when the movement calculations run. Take a look at MovementUpdate

bool constrainInsideGraph = false

Ensure that the character is always on the traversable surface of the navmesh.

When this option is enabled a GetNearest query will be done every frame to find the closest node that the agent can walk on and if the agent is not inside that node, then the agent will be moved to it.

This is especially useful together with local avoidance in order to avoid agents pushing each other into walls.

This option also integrates with local avoidance so that if the agent is say forced into a wall by other agents the local avoidance system will be informed about that wall and can take that into account.

Enabling this has some performance impact depending on the graph type (pretty fast for grid graphs, slightly slower for navmesh/recast graphs). If you are using a navmesh/recast graph you may want to switch to the RichAI movement script which is specifically written for navmesh/recast graphs and does this kind of clamping out of the box. In many cases it can also follow the path more smoothly around sharp bends in the path.

It is not recommended that you use this option together with the funnel modifier on grid graphs because the funnel modifier will make the path go very close to the border of the graph and this script has a tendency to try to cut corners a bit. This may cause it to try to go slightly outside the traversable surface near corners and that will look bad if this option is enabled.

Below you can see an image where several agents using local avoidance were ordered to go to the same point in a corner. When not constraining the agents to the graph they are easily pushed inside obstacles.

Vector3? desiredVelocity

Velocity that this agent wants to move with.

Includes gravity and local avoidance if applicable. In world units per second.

Vector3 desiredVelocityWithoutLocalAvoidance

Velocity that this agent wants to move with before taking local avoidance into account.

Includes gravity. In world units per second.

Setting this property will set the current velocity that the agent is trying to move with, including gravity. This can be useful if you want to make the agent come to a complete stop in a single frame or if you want to modify the velocity in some way.

// Set the velocity to zero, but keep the current gravity
var newVelocity = new Vector3(0, ai.desiredVelocityWithoutLocalAvoidance.y, 0);

ai.desiredVelocityWithoutLocalAvoidance = newVelocity;


If you are not using local avoidance then this property will in almost all cases be identical to desiredVelocity plus some noise due to floating point math.

Vector3 destination

Position in the world that this agent should move to.

If no destination has been set yet, then (+infinity, +infinity, +infinity) will be returned.

Note that setting this property does not immediately cause the agent to recalculate its path. So it may take some time before the agent starts to move towards this point. Most movement scripts have a repathRate field which indicates how often the agent looks for a new path. You can also call the SearchPath method to immediately start to search for a new path. Paths are calculated asynchronously so when an agent starts to search for path it may take a few frames (usually 1 or 2) until the result is available. During this time the pathPending property will return true.

If you are setting a destination and then want to know when the agent has reached that destination then you could either use reachedDestination (recommended) or check both pathPending and reachedEndOfPath. Check the documentation for the respective fields to learn about their differences.

IEnumerator Start () {
ai.destination = somePoint;
// Start to search for a path to the destination immediately
ai.SearchPath();
// Wait until the agent has reached the destination
while (!ai.reachedDestination) {
yield return null;
}
// The agent has reached the destination now
}
IEnumerator Start () {
ai.destination = somePoint;
// Start to search for a path to the destination immediately
// Note that the result may not become available until after a few frames
// ai.pathPending will be true while the path is being calculated
ai.SearchPath();
// Wait until we know for sure that the agent has calculated a path to the destination we set above
while (ai.pathPending || !ai.reachedEndOfPath) {
yield return null;
}
// The agent has reached the destination now
}


bool enableRotation = true

If true, the AI will rotate to face the movement direction.

Vector3 endOfPath

End point of path the agent is currently following.

If the agent has no path (or it might not be calculated yet), this will return the destination instead. If the agent has no destination it will return the agent's current position.

The end of the path is usually identical or very close to the destination, but it may differ if the path for example was blocked by a wall so that the agent couldn't get any closer.

This is only updated when the path is recalculated.

float endReachedDistance = 0.2f

Distance to the end point to consider the end of path to be reached.

When the end of the path is within this distance then IAstarAI.reachedEndOfPath will return true. When the destination is within this distance then IAstarAI.reachedDestination will return true.

Note that the destination may not be reached just because the end of the path was reached. The destination may not be reachable at all.

Vector3 gravity = new Vector3(float.NaN, float.NaN, float.NaN)

Gravity to use.

If set to (NaN,NaN,NaN) then Physics.Gravity (configured in the Unity project settings) will be used. If set to (0,0,0) then no gravity will be used and no raycast to check for ground penetration will be performed.

LayerMask groundMask = -1

Layer mask to use for ground placement.

Make sure this does not include the layer of any colliders attached to this gameobject.

bool hasPath

True if this agent currently has a path that it follows.

float height = 2

Height of the agent in world units.

This is visualized in the scene view as a yellow cylinder around the character.

This value is currently only used if an RVOController is attached to the same GameObject, otherwise it is only used for drawing nice gizmos in the scene view. However since the height value is used for some things, the radius field is always visible for consistency and easier visualization of the character. That said, it may be used for something in a future release.

bool isStopped

Gets or sets if the agent should stop moving.

If this is set to true the agent will immediately start to slow down as quickly as it can to come to a full stop. The agent will still react to local avoidance and gravity (if applicable), but it will not try to move in any particular direction.

The current path of the agent will not be cleared, so when this is set to false again the agent will continue moving along the previous path.

This is a purely user-controlled parameter, so for example it is not set automatically when the agent stops moving because it has reached the target. Use reachedEndOfPath for that.

If this property is set to true while the agent is traversing an off-mesh link (RichAI script only), then the agent will continue traversing the link and stop once it has completed it.

The steeringTarget property will continue to indicate the point which the agent would move towards if it would not be stopped.

float maxAcceleration = -2.5f

How quickly the agent accelerates.

Positive values represent an acceleration in world units per second squared. Negative values are interpreted as an inverse time of how long it should take for the agent to reach its max speed. For example if it should take roughly 0.4 seconds for the agent to reach its max speed then this field should be set to -1/0.4 = -2.5. For a negative value the final acceleration will be: -acceleration*maxSpeed. This behaviour exists mostly for compatibility reasons.

In the Unity inspector there are two modes: Default and Custom. In the Default mode this field is set to -2.5 which means that it takes about 0.4 seconds for the agent to reach its top speed. In the Custom mode you can set the acceleration to any positive value.

float maxSpeed = 1

Max speed in world units per second.

SimpleMovementPlane movementPlane = new SimpleMovementPlane(Quaternion.identity)

Plane which this agent is moving in.

This is used to convert between world space and a movement plane to make it possible to use this script in both 2D games and 3D games.

System.Action onSearchPath

Called when the agent recalculates its path.

This is called both for automatic path recalculations (see canSearch) and manual ones (see SearchPath).

OrientationMode orientation = OrientationMode.ZAxisForward

Determines which direction the agent moves in.

For 3D games you most likely want the ZAxisIsForward option as that is the convention for 3D games. For 2D games you most likely want the YAxisIsForward option as that is the convention for 2D games.

Using the YAxisForward option will also allow the agent to assume that the movement will happen in the 2D (XY) plane instead of the XZ plane if it does not know. This is important only for the point graph which does not have a well defined up direction. The other built-in graphs (e.g the grid graph) will all tell the agent which movement plane it is supposed to use.

bool pathPending

True if a path is currently being calculated.

float pickNextWaypointDist = 2

How far the AI looks ahead along the path to determine the point it moves to.

In world units. If you enable the alwaysDrawGizmos toggle this value will be visualized in the scene view as a blue circle around the agent.

Here are a few example videos showing some typical outcomes with good values as well as how it looks when this value is too low and too high.

Vector3? position

Position of the agent.

In world space. If updatePosition is true then this value is idential to transform.position.

bool preventMovingBackwards = false

Prevent the velocity from being too far away from the forward direction of the character.

If the character is ordered to move in the opposite direction from where it is facing then enabling this will cause it to make a small loop instead of turning on the spot.

This setting only has an effect if slowWhenNotFacingTarget is enabled.

float radius = 0.5f

Radius of the agent in world units.

This is visualized in the scene view as a yellow cylinder around the character.

Note that this does not affect pathfinding in any way. The graph used completely determines where the agent can move.

bool reachedDestination

True if the ai has reached the destination.

This is a best effort calculation to see if the destination has been reached. For the AIPath/RichAI scripts, this is when the character is within AIPath.endReachedDistance world units from the destination. For the AILerp script it is when the character is at the destination (±a very small margin).

This value will be updated immediately when the destination is changed (in contrast to reachedEndOfPath), however since path requests are asynchronous it will use an approximation until it sees the real path result. What this property does is to check the distance to the end of the current path, and add to that the distance from the end of the path to the destination (i.e. is assumes it is possible to move in a straight line between the end of the current path to the destination) and then checks if that total distance is less than AIPath.endReachedDistance. This property is therefore only a best effort, but it will work well for almost all use cases.

Furthermore it will not report that the destination is reached if the destination is above the head of the character or more than half the height of the character below its feet (so if you have a multilevel building, it is important that you configure the height of the character correctly).

The cases which could be problematic are if an agent is standing next to a very thin wall and the destination suddenly changes to the other side of that thin wall. During the time that it takes for the path to be calculated the agent may see itself as alredy having reached the destination because the destination only moved a very small distance (the wall was thin), even though it may actually be quite a long way around the wall to the other side.

In contrast to reachedEndOfPath, this property is immediately updated when the destination is changed.

IEnumerator Start () {
ai.destination = somePoint;
// Start to search for a path to the destination immediately
ai.SearchPath();
// Wait until the agent has reached the destination
while (!ai.reachedDestination) {
yield return null;
}
// The agent has reached the destination now
}


bool reachedEndOfPath

True if the agent has reached the end of the current path.

Note that setting the destination does not immediately update the path, nor is there any guarantee that the AI will actually be able to reach the destination that you set. The AI will try to get as close as possible. Often you want to use reachedDestination instead which is easier to work with.

It is very hard to provide a method for detecting if the AI has reached the destination that works across all different games because the destination may not even lie on the navmesh and how that is handled differs from game to game (see also the code snippet in the docs for destination).

float remainingDistance

Approximate remaining distance along the current path to the end of the path.

The RichAI movement script approximates this distance since it is quite expensive to calculate the real distance. However it will be accurate when the agent is within 1 corner of the destination. You can use GetRemainingPath to calculate the actual remaining path more precisely.

The AIPath and AILerp scripts use a more accurate distance calculation at all times.

If the agent does not currently have a path, then positive infinity will be returned.

Quaternion? rotation

Rotation of the agent.

If updateRotation is true then this value is identical to transform.rotation.

float rotationSpeed = 360

Rotation speed in degrees per second.

Rotation is calculated using Quaternion.RotateTowards. This variable represents the rotation speed in degrees per second. The higher it is, the faster the character will be able to rotate.

RVODestinationCrowdedBehavior rvoDensityBehavior = new RVODestinationCrowdedBehavior(true, 0.5f, false)

Controls if the agent slows down to a stop if the area around the destination is crowded.

Using this module requires that local avoidance is used: i.e. that an RVOController is attached to the GameObject.

bool slowWhenNotFacingTarget = true

Slow down when not facing the target direction.

Incurs at a small performance overhead.

This setting only has an effect if enableRotation is enabled.

float slowdownDistance = 0.6F

Distance from the end of the path where the AI will start to slow down.

Vector3 steeringTarget

Point on the path which the agent is currently moving towards.

This is usually a point a small distance ahead of the agent or the end of the path.

If the agent does not have a path at the moment, then the agent's current position will be returned.

bool updatePosition = true

Determines if the character's position should be coupled to the Transform's position.

If false then all movement calculations will happen as usual, but the object that this component is attached to will not move instead only the position property will change.

This is useful if you want to control the movement of the character using some other means such as for example root motion but still want the AI to move freely.

bool updateRotation = true

Determines if the character's rotation should be coupled to the Transform's rotation.

If false then all movement calculations will happen as usual, but the object that this component is attached to will not rotate instead only the rotation property will change.

Vector3? velocity

Actual velocity that the agent is moving with.

In world units per second.

CloseToDestinationMode whenCloseToDestination = CloseToDestinationMode.Stop

What to do when within endReachedDistance units from the destination.

The character can either stop immediately when it comes within that distance, which is useful for e.g archers or other ranged units that want to fire on a target. Or the character can continue to try to reach the exact destination point and come to a full stop there. This is useful if you want the character to reach the exact point that you specified.

It is only used for non-planar worlds where the up direction changes depending on the position of the character. More precisely a faster code path which ignores this parameter is used whenever the current movementPlane is exactly the XZ or XY plane. This must be at least as large as maxDegreesMainAxis.

)

Simulates rotating the agent towards the specified direction and returns the new rotation.

Note that this only calculates a new rotation, it does not change the actual rotation of the agent.
