Member Function Documentation

◆ Check()

bool Check ( Vector3  position)

Returns if the position is obstructed.

If collisionCheck is false, this will always return true.

◆ CheckHeight() [1/2]

Vector3 CheckHeight ( Vector3  position)

Returns the position with the correct height.

If heightCheck is false, this will return position.

◆ CheckHeight() [2/2]

Vector3 CheckHeight ( Vector3  position,
out RaycastHit  hit,
out bool  walkable 
)

Returns the position with the correct height.

If heightCheck is false, this will return position.
walkable will be set to false if nothing was hit. The ray will check a tiny bit further than to the grids base to avoid floating point errors when the ground is exactly at the base of the grid

◆ CheckHeightAll()

RaycastHit [] CheckHeightAll ( Vector3  position)

Returns all hits when checking height for position.

Warning
Does not work well with thick raycast, will only return an object a single time

◆ DeserializeSettingsCompatibility()

void DeserializeSettingsCompatibility ( GraphSerializationContext  ctx)

◆ Initialize()

void Initialize ( GraphTransform  transform,
float  scale 
)

Sets up several variables using the specified matrix and scale.

GraphCollision.upheight
GraphCollision.finalRadius
GraphCollision.finalRaycastRadius

◆ Raycast()

Vector3 Raycast ( Vector3  origin,
out RaycastHit  hit,
out bool  walkable 
)

Same as CheckHeight, except that the raycast will always start exactly at origin.

walkable will be set to false if nothing was hit. The ray will check a tiny bit further than to the grids base to avoid floating point errors when the ground is exactly at the base of the grid

Member Data Documentation

◆ collisionCheck

bool collisionCheck = true

Toggle collision check.

◆ collisionOffset

float collisionOffset

Height above the ground that collision checks should be done.

For example, if the ground was found at y=0, collisionOffset = 2 type = Capsule and height = 3 then the physics system will be queried to see if there are any colliders in a capsule for which the bottom sphere that is made up of is centered at y=2 and the top sphere has its center at y=2+3=5.

If type = Sphere then the sphere's center would be at y=2 in this case.

◆ diameter

float diameter = 1F

Diameter of capsule or sphere when checking for collision.

When checking for collisions the system will check if any colliders overlap a specific shape at the node's position. The shape is determined by the type field.

A diameter of 1 means that the shape has a diameter equal to the node's width, or in other words it is equal to nodeSize .

If type is set to Ray, this does not affect anything.

◆ finalRadius

float finalRadius
private

diameter * scale * 0.5.

Where scale usually is nodeSize

See also
Initialize

◆ finalRaycastRadius

float finalRaycastRadius
private

thickRaycastDiameter * scale * 0.5.

Where scale usually is nodeSize

See also
Initialize

◆ fromHeight

float fromHeight = 100

The height to check from when checking height ('ray length' in the inspector).

As the image below visualizes, different ray lengths can make the ray hit different things. The distance is measured up from the graph plane.

◆ height

float height = 2F

Height of capsule or length of ray when checking for collision.

If type is set to Sphere, this does not affect anything.

◆ heightCheck

bool heightCheck = true

Toggle height check.

If false, the grid will be flat

◆ heightMask

LayerMask heightMask = -1

Layers to be included in the height check.

◆ mask

LayerMask mask

Layers to be treated as obstacles.

◆ RaycastErrorMargin

const float RaycastErrorMargin = 0.005F

Offset to apply after each raycast to make sure we don't hit the same point again in CheckHeightAll.

◆ rayDirection

Direction of the ray when checking for collision.

If type is not Ray, this does not affect anything

◆ thickRaycast

bool thickRaycast

◆ thickRaycastDiameter

float thickRaycastDiameter = 1

Diameter of the thick raycast in nodes.

1 equals nodeSize

◆ type

◆ unwalkableWhenNoGround

bool unwalkableWhenNoGround = true

Make nodes unwalkable when no ground was found with the height raycast.

If height raycast is turned off, this doesn't affect anything.

◆ up

Vector3 up

Direction to use as UP.

See also
Initialize

◆ upheight

Vector3 upheight
private

up * height.

See also
Initialize

◆ use2D

bool use2D

Use Unity 2D Physics API.
