Detailed Description

Node used for the PointGraph.

This is just a simple point with a list of connections (and associated costs) to other nodes. It does not have any concept of a surface like many other node types.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ PointNode()

PointNode ( AstarPath  astar)

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddConnection()

override void AddConnection ( GraphNode  node,
uint  cost 
)
virtual

Add a connection from this node to the specified node.

If the connection already exists, the cost will simply be updated and no extra connection added.

Note
Only adds a one-way connection. Consider calling the same function on the other node to get a two-way connection.

Implements GraphNode.

◆ ClearConnections()

override void ClearConnections ( bool  alsoReverse)
virtual

Remove all connections from this node.

Parameters
alsoReverseif true, neighbours will be requested to remove connections to this node.

Implements GraphNode.

◆ ContainsConnection()

override bool ContainsConnection ( GraphNode  node)
virtual

Checks if this node has a connection to the specified node.

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

◆ DeserializeNode()

override void DeserializeNode ( GraphSerializationContext  ctx)
virtual

Deserializes the node data from a byte array.

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

◆ DeserializeReferences()

override void DeserializeReferences ( GraphSerializationContext  ctx)
virtual

Used to deserialize references to other nodes e.g connections.

Use the GraphSerializationContext.GetNodeIdentifier and GraphSerializationContext.GetNodeFromIdentifier methods for serialization and deserialization respectively.

Nodes must override this method and serialize their connections. Graph generators do not need to call this method, it will be called automatically on all nodes at the correct time by the serializer.

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

◆ GetConnections()

override void GetConnections ( System.Action< GraphNode action)
virtual

Calls the delegate with all connections from this node.

node.GetConnections(connectedTo => {
Debug.DrawLine((Vector3)node.position, (Vector3)connectedTo.position, Color.red);
});

You can add all connected nodes to a list like this

var connections = new List<GraphNode>();
node.GetConnections(connections.Add);

Implements GraphNode.

◆ GetGizmoHashCode()

override int GetGizmoHashCode ( )
virtual

Hash code used for checking if the gizmos need to be updated.

Will change when the gizmos for the node might change.

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

◆ Open()

override void Open ( Path  path,
PathNode  pathNode,
PathHandler  handler 
)
virtual

Open the node.

Used internally for the A* algorithm.

Implements GraphNode.

◆ RemoveConnection()

override void RemoveConnection ( GraphNode  node)
virtual

Removes any connection from this node to the specified node.

If no such connection exists, nothing will be done.

Note
This only removes the connection from this node to the other node. You may want to call the same function on the other node to remove its eventual connection to this node.

Implements GraphNode.

◆ SerializeNode()

override void SerializeNode ( GraphSerializationContext  ctx)
virtual

Serialized the node data to a byte array.

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

◆ SerializeReferences()

override void SerializeReferences ( GraphSerializationContext  ctx)
virtual

Used to serialize references to other nodes e.g connections.

Use the GraphSerializationContext.GetNodeIdentifier and GraphSerializationContext.GetNodeFromIdentifier methods for serialization and deserialization respectively.

Nodes must override this method and serialize their connections. Graph generators do not need to call this method, it will be called automatically on all nodes at the correct time by the serializer.

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

◆ SetPosition()

void SetPosition ( Int3  value)

◆ UpdateRecursiveG()

override void UpdateRecursiveG ( Path  path,
PathNode  pathNode,
PathHandler  handler 
)
virtual

Reimplemented from GraphNode.

Member Data Documentation

◆ connections

Connection [] connections

All connections from this node.

See also
AddConnection
RemoveConnection
Note
If you modify this array or the contents of it you must call SetConnectivityDirty.

◆ gameObject

GameObject gameObject

GameObject this node was created from (if any).

Warning
When loading a graph from a saved file or from cache, this field will be null.
var node = AstarPath.active.GetNearest(transform.position).node;
var pointNode = node as PointNode;
if (pointNode != null) {
Debug.Log("That node was created from the GameObject named " + pointNode.gameObject.name);
} else {
Debug.Log("That node is not a PointNode");
}
