Member Function Documentation

◆ DiscardPending()

void DiscardPending ( )

Discards all pending updates caused by moved or modified navmesh cuts.

◆ ForceUpdate()

void ForceUpdate ( )

Checks all NavmeshCut instances and updates graphs if needed.

Note
This schedules updates for all necessary tiles to happen as soon as possible. The pathfinding threads will continue to calculate the paths that they were calculating when this function was called and then they will be paused and the graph updates will be carried out (this may be several frames into the future and the graph updates themselves may take several frames to complete). If you want to force all navmesh cutting to be completed in a single frame call this method and immediately after call AstarPath.FlushWorkItems.
// Schedule pending updates to be done as soon as the pathfinding threads
// are done with what they are currently doing.
// Block until the updates have finished

◆ HandleOnDisableCallback()

void HandleOnDisableCallback ( NavmeshClipper  obj)
private

Called when a NavmeshCut or NavmeshAdd is disabled.

◆ HandleOnEnableCallback()

void HandleOnEnableCallback ( NavmeshClipper  obj)
private

Called when a NavmeshCut or NavmeshAdd is enabled.

◆ OnDisable()

void OnDisable ( )
package

◆ OnEnable()

void OnEnable ( )
package

◆ Update()

void Update ( )
package

Update is called once per frame.

Member Data Documentation

◆ lastUpdateTime

float lastUpdateTime = float.NegativeInfinity
private

Last time navmesh cuts were applied.

◆ updateInterval

float updateInterval

How often to check if an update needs to be done (real seconds between checks).

For worlds with a very large number of NavmeshCut objects, it might be bad for performance to do this check every frame. If you think this is a performance penalty, increase this number to check less often.

For almost all games, this can be kept at 0.

If negative, no updates will be done. They must be manually triggered using ForceUpdate.

// Check every frame (the default)
AstarPath.active.navmeshUpdates.updateInterval = 0;
// Check every 0.1 seconds
AstarPath.active.navmeshUpdates.updateInterval = 0.1f;
// Never check for changes
AstarPath.active.navmeshUpdates.updateInterval = -1;
// You will have to schedule updates manually using

You can also find this in the AstarPath inspector under Settings.
