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

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
        AstarPath.active.Scan();

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).

CalculateAffectedRegions()

void CalculateAffectedRegions ( GraphUpdateObject  o, out IntRect  originalRect, out IntRect  affectRect, out IntRect  physicsRect, out bool  willChangeWalkability, out int  erosion  )

protected

CalculateConnections() [1/5]

static void CalculateConnections ( GridNode  node )

static

Calculates the grid connections for a single node.

Deprecated:

Use the instance function instead

CalculateConnections() [2/5]

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() [3/5]

virtual void CalculateConnections ( GridNode []  nodes, int  x, int  z, GridNode  node  )

virtual

Calculates the grid connections for a single node.

Deprecated:

CalculateConnections no longer takes a node array, it just uses the one on the graph

CalculateConnections() [4/5]

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() [5/5]

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.

        AstarPath.active.AddWorkItem(ctx => {
            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.

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  )

private

GetNearestForce()

override NNInfoInternal GetNearestForce ( Vector3  position, NNConstraint  constraint  )

virtual

GridNode

GetNodes()

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

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.

        var gg = AstarPath.active.data.gridGraph;

        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

        var gg = AstarPath.active.data.gridGraph;

        List<GraphNode> nodes = new List<GraphNode>();
        gg.GetNodes((System.Action<GraphNode>)nodes.Add);

GetNodesInRegion() [5/5]

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

virtual

Get all nodes in a rectangle.

Parameters

rect	Region in which to return nodes. It will be clamped to the grid.
buffer	Buffer 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.

        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);

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

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.

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
        AstarPath.active.Scan();

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

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]	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).

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.

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.

erosionFirstTag

int erosionFirstTag = 1

Tag to start from when using tags 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.

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.
