Member Function Documentation

virtual 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 in GridGraph, PointGraph, and LayerGridGraph.

virtual void DeserializeExtraInfo ( GraphSerializationContext ctx )

virtual

Deserializes graph type specific node data.

See Also: SerializeExtraInfo

Reimplemented in GridGraph, NavmeshBase, LayerGridGraph, and PointGraph.

virtual void DeserializeSettingsCompatibility ( GraphSerializationContext ctx )

virtual

An old format for serializing settings.

Deprecated:: This is deprecated now, but the deserialization code is kept to avoid loosing data when upgrading from older versions.

Reimplemented in GridGraph, RecastGraph, PointGraph, and NavMeshGraph.

virtual void DestroyAllNodesInternal ( )

packagevirtual

Destroys all nodes in the graph.

Warning: This is an internal method. Unless you have a very good reason, you should probably not call it.

Reimplemented in GridGraph.

void DrawUnwalkableNodes ( float size )

protected

NNInfoInternal GetNearest ( Vector3 position )

Returns the nearest node to a position using the default NNConstraint.

Parameters

position The position to try to find a close node to

See Also: Pathfinding.NNConstraint.None

NNInfoInternal GetNearest	(	Vector3	position,
		NNConstraint	constraint
	)

Returns the nearest node to a position using the specified NNConstraint.

Parameters

position	The position to try to find a close node to
constraint	Can for example tell the function to try to return a walkable node. If you do not get a good node back, consider calling GetNearestForce.

virtual NNInfoInternal GetNearest	(	Vector3	position,
		NNConstraint	constraint,
		GraphNode	hint
	)

virtual

Returns the nearest node to a position using the specified NNConstraint.

Parameters

position	The position to try to find a close node to
hint	Can be passed to enable some graph generators to find the nearest node faster.
constraint	Can for example tell the function to try to return a walkable node. If you do not get a good node back, consider calling GetNearestForce.

Reimplemented in GridGraph, LayerGridGraph, NavmeshBase, and PointGraph.

virtual NNInfoInternal GetNearestForce	(	Vector3	position,
		NNConstraint	constraint
	)

virtual

Returns the nearest node to a position using the specified constraint .

Returns: an NNInfo. This method will only return an empty NNInfo if there are no nodes which comply with the specified constraint.

Reimplemented in GridGraph, LayerGridGraph, NavmeshBase, and PointGraph.

void GetNodes ( System.Func< GraphNode, bool > action )

Calls a delegate with all nodes in the graph until the delegate returns false.

abstract void GetNodes ( System.Action< GraphNode > action )

pure virtual

Calls a delegate with all nodes in the graph.

This is the primary way of iterating through all nodes in a graph.

Do not change the graph structure inside the delegate.

myGraph.GetNodes (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

List<GraphNode> nodes = new List<GraphNode>();

myGraph.GetNodes(nodes.Add);

Implemented in NavmeshBase, GridGraph, PointGraph, and LayerGridGraph.

virtual void OnDestroy ( )

virtual

Function for cleaning up references.

This will be called on the same time as OnDisable on the gameObject which the AstarPath script is attached to (remember, not in the editor). Use for any cleanup code such as cleaning up static variables which otherwise might prevent resources from being collected. Use by creating a function overriding this one in a graph class, but always call base.OnDestroy () in that function. All nodes should be destroyed in this function otherwise a memory leak will arise.

Reimplemented in NavmeshBase, GridGraph, and LayerGridGraph.

virtual void OnDrawGizmos	(	RetainedGizmos	gizmos,
		bool	drawNodes
	)

virtual

Draw gizmos for the graph.

Reimplemented in GridGraph.

virtual void PostDeserialization ( )

virtual

Called after all deserialization has been done for all graphs.

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

Reimplemented in GridGraph, NavmeshBase, LayerGridGraph, and PointGraph.

void RelocateNodes	(	Matrix4x4	oldMatrix,
		Matrix4x4	newMatrix
	)

Moves nodes in this graph.

Deprecated:: Use RelocateNodes(Matrix4x4) instead. To keep the same behavior you can call RelocateNodes(newMatrix * oldMatrix.inverse).

virtual 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 in PointGraph, GridGraph, and NavmeshBase.

void Scan ( )

void ScanGraph ( )

Partially scan the graph.

Consider using AstarPath.Scan () instead since this function might screw things up if there is more than one graph. This function does not perform all necessary postprocessing for the graph to work with pathfinding (e.g flood fill). See the source of the AstarPath.Scan function to see how it can be used. In almost all cases you should use AstarPath.Scan instead.

abstract IEnumerable<Progress> ScanInternal ( )

pure virtual

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.

Implemented in GridGraph, RecastGraph, LayerGridGraph, PointGraph, and NavMeshGraph.

virtual void SerializeExtraInfo ( GraphSerializationContext ctx )

virtual

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 in GridGraph, NavmeshBase, LayerGridGraph, and PointGraph.

void SetMatrix ( Matrix4x4 m )

Use to set both matrix and inverseMatrix at the same time.

Deprecated:: Use the transform field (only available on some graph types) instead

virtual void UnloadGizmoMeshes ( )

packagevirtual

Called when temporary meshes used in OnDrawGizmos need to be unloaded to prevent memory leaks.

Member Data Documentation

AstarPath active

Reference to the AstarPath object in the scene.

bool drawGizmos = true

Enable to draw gizmos in the Unity scene view.

In the inspector this value corresponds to the state of the 'eye' icon in the top left corner of every graph inspector.

uint graphIndex

Index of the graph, used for identification purposes.

Guid guid

Used as an ID of the graph, considered to be unique.

Note: This is Pathfinding.Util.Guid not System.Guid. A replacement for System.Guid was coded for better compatibility with iOS

bool infoScreenOpen

Used in the editor to check if the info screen is open.

Should be inside UNITY_EDITOR only #ifs but just in case anyone tries to serialize a NavGraph instance using Unity, I have left it like this as it would otherwise cause a crash when building. Version 3.0.8.1 was released because of this bug only

uint initialPenalty

Default penalty to apply to all nodes.

Matrix4x4 inverseMatrix = Matrix4x4.identity

Inverse of matrix.

Deprecated:: Use the transform field (only available on some graph types) instead

Matrix4x4 matrix = Matrix4x4.identity

A matrix for translating/rotating/scaling the graph.

Deprecated:: Use the transform field (only available on some graph types) instead

string name

Name of the graph.

Can be set in the unity editor

bool open

Is the graph open in the editor.
