Class MineBotAI Extends AIPath

void OnTargetReached ()

Called when the end of path has been reached.

An effect (endOfPathEffect) is spawned when this function is called However, since paths are recalculated quite often, we only spawn the effect when the current position is some distance away from the previous spawn-point

void Start ()

Starts searching for paths.

If you override this method you should in most cases call base.Start () at the start of it.

Animation anim

Animation component.

Should hold animations "awake" and "forward"

float animationSpeed = 0.2F

Speed relative to velocity with which to play animations.

GameObject endOfPathEffect

Effect which will be instantiated when end of path is reached.

float sleepVelocity = 0.4F

Minimum velocity for moving.

bool alwaysDrawGizmos

Draws detailed gizmos constantly in the scene view instead of only when the agent is selected and settings are being modified.

bool canMove = true

Enables or disables movement completely.

If you want the agent to stand still, but still react to local avoidance and use gravity: use isStopped instead.

This is also useful if you want to have full control over when the movement calculations run. Take a look at MovementUpdate

bool canSearch = true

Enables or disables recalculating the path at regular intervals.

Setting this to false does not stop any active path requests from being calculated or stop it from continuing to follow the current path.

Note that this only disables automatic path recalculations. If you call the SearchPath() method a path will still be calculated.

float centerOffset = 1

Offset along the Y coordinate for the ground raycast start position.

Normally the pivot of the character is at the character's feet, but you usually want to fire the raycast from the character's center, so this value should be half of the character's height.

A green gizmo line will be drawn upwards from the pivot point of the character to indicate where the raycast will start.

Vector3 desiredVelocity

Velocity that this agent wants to move with.

Includes gravity and local avoidance if applicable.

Vector3 destination

Position in the world that this agent should move to.

If no destination has been set yet, then (+infinity, +infinity, +infinity) will be returned.

Note that setting this property does not immediately cause the agent to recalculate its path. So it may take some time before the agent starts to move towards this point. Most movement scripts have a repathRate field which indicates how often the agent looks for a new path. You can also call the SearchPath method to immediately start to search for a new path. Paths are calculated asynchronously so when an agent starts to search for path it may take a few frames (usually 1 or 2) until the result is available. During this time the #pathPending property will return true.

If you are setting a destination and then want to know when the agent has reached that destination then you should check both #pathPending and #reachedEndOfPath: IEnumerator Start () {
ai.destination = somePoint;
// Start to search for a path to the destination immediately
// Note that the result may not become available until after a few frames
// ai.pathPending will be true while the path is being calculated
ai.SearchPath();
// Wait until we know for sure that the agent has calculated a path to the destination we set above
while (ai.pathPending || !ai.reachedEndOfPath) {
yield return null;
}
// The agent has reached the destination now
}


float endReachedDistance = 0.2F

Distance to the end point to consider the end of path to be reached.

When the end is within this distance then OnTargetReached will be called and reachedEndOfPath will return true.

void FinalizeMovement (

Vector3	nextPosition	New position of the agent.
Quaternion	nextRotation	New rotation of the agent.

)

Moves the agent to a position.

This is used if you want to override how the agent moves. For example if you are using root motion with Mecanim.

This will use a CharacterController, Rigidbody, Rigidbody2D or the Transform component depending on what options are available.

The agent will be clamped to the navmesh after the movement (if such information is available, generally this is only done by the RichAI component).

Vector3 GetFeetPosition ()

Position of the base of the character.

This is used for pathfinding as the character's pivot point is sometimes placed at the center of the character instead of near the feet. In a building with multiple floors the center of a character may in some scenarios be closer to the navmesh on the floor above than to the floor below which could cause an incorrect path to be calculated. To solve this the start point of the requested paths is always at the base of the character.

Vector3 gravity = new Vector3(float.NaN, float.NaN, float.NaN)

Gravity to use.

If set to (NaN,NaN,NaN) then Physics.Gravity (configured in the Unity project settings) will be used. If set to (0,0,0) then no gravity will be used and no raycast to check for ground penetration will be performed.

LayerMask groundMask = -1

Layer mask to use for ground placement.

Make sure this does not include the layer of any colliders attached to this gameobject.

bool hasPath

True if this agent currently has a path that it follows.

bool isStopped

Gets or sets if the agent should stop moving.

If this is set to true the agent will immediately start to slow down as quickly as it can to come to a full stop. The agent will still react to local avoidance and gravity (if applicable), but it will not try to move in any particular direction.

The current path of the agent will not be cleared, so when this is set to false again the agent will continue moving along the previous path.

This is a purely user-controlled parameter, so for example it is not set automatically when the agent stops moving because it has reached the target. Use #reachedEndOfPath for that.

If this property is set to true while the agent is traversing an off-mesh link (RichAI script only), then the agent will continue traversing the link and stop once it has completed it.

The #steeringTarget property will continue to indicate the point which the agent would move towards if it would not be stopped.

float maxSpeed = 1

Max speed in world units per second.

void Move (

Vector3

deltaPosition

Direction and distance to move the agent in world space.

)

Move the agent.

This is intended for external movement forces such as those applied by wind, conveyor belts, knockbacks etc.

Some movement scripts may ignore this completely (notably the AILerp script) if it does not have any concept of being moved externally.

The agent will not be moved immediately when calling this method. Instead this offset will be stored and then applied the next time the agent runs its movement calculations (which is usually later this frame or the next frame). If you want to move the agent immediately then call: ai.Move(someVector);
ai.FinalizeMovement(ai.position, ai.rotation);


IMovementPlane movementPlane = GraphTransform.identityTransform

Plane which this agent is moving in.

This is used to convert between world space and a movement plane to make it possible to use this script in both 2D games and 3D games.

void MovementUpdate (

float	deltaTime	time to simulate movement for. Usually set to Time.deltaTime.
out Vector3	nextPosition	the position that the agent wants to move to during this frame.
out Quaternion	nextRotation	the rotation that the agent wants to rotate to during this frame.

)

Calculate how the character wants to move during this frame.

Note that this does not actually move the character. You need to call FinalizeMovement for that. This is called automatically unless canMove is false.

To handle movement yourself you can disable canMove and call this method manually. This code will replicate the normal behavior of the component: void Update () {
ai.canMove = false;
Vector3 nextPosition;
Quaternion nextRotation;
ai.MovementUpdate(Time.deltaTime, out nextPosition, out nextRotation);
// Modify nextPosition and nextRotation in any way you wish
ai.FinalizeMovement(nextPosition, nextRotation);
}


void OnPathComplete (

Path

newPath

)

Called when a requested path has been calculated.

A path is first requested by #UpdatePath, it is then calculated, probably in the same or the next frame. Finally it is returned to the seeker which forwards it to this function.

System.Action onSearchPath

Called when the agent recalculates its path.

This is called both for automatic path recalculations (see canSearch) and manual ones (see SearchPath).

bool pathPending

True if a path is currently being calculated.

float pickNextWaypointDist = 2

How far the AI looks ahead along the path to determine the point it moves to.

Vector3 position

Position of the agent.

In world space. If updatePosition is true then this value is idential to transform.position.

bool reachedEndOfPath

True if the agent has reached the end of the current path.

This is the approximate distance the AI has to move to reach the end of the path it is currently traversing.

Note that setting the destination does not immediately update the path, nor is there any guarantee that the AI will actually be able to reach the destination that you set. The AI will try to get as close as possible.

It is very hard to provide a method for detecting if the AI has reached the destination that works across all different games because the destination may not even lie on the navmesh and how that is handled differs from game to game (see also the code snippet in the docs for destination).

float remainingDistance

Remaining distance along the current path to the end of the path.

For the RichAI movement script this may not always be precisely known, especially when far away from the destination. In those cases an approximate distance will be returned.

If the agent does not currently have a path, then positive infinity will be returned.

float repathRate = 0.5f

Determines how often the agent will search for new paths (in seconds).

The agent will plan a new path to the target every N seconds.

If you have fast moving targets or AIs, you might want to set it to a lower value.

Quaternion rotation

Rotation of the agent.

If updateRotation is true then this value is identical to transform.rotation.

bool rotationIn2D = false

If true, the forward axis of the character will be along the Y axis instead of the Z axis.

For 3D games you most likely want to leave this the default value which is false. For 2D games you most likely want to change this to true as in 2D games you usually want the Y axis to be the forwards direction of the character.

float rotationSpeed = 360

Rotation speed in degrees per second.

Rotation is calculated using Quaternion.RotateTowards. This variable represents the rotation speed in degrees per second. The higher it is, the faster the character will be able to rotate.

void SearchPath ()

Recalculate the current path.

You can for example use this if you want very quick reaction times when you have changed the destination so that the agent does not have to wait until the next automatic path recalculation (see canSearch).

If there is an ongoing path calculation, it will be canceled, so make sure you leave time for the paths to get calculated before calling this function again. A canceled path will show up in the log with the message "Canceled by script" (see #Seeker.CancelCurrentPathRequest()).

If no destination has been set yet then nothing will be done.

Quaternion SimulateRotationTowards (

Vector3	direction	Direction in world space to rotate towards.
float	maxDegrees	Maximum number of degrees to rotate this frame.

)

Simulates rotating the agent towards the specified direction and returns the new rotation.

Note that this only calculates a new rotation, it does not change the actual rotation of the agent. Useful when you are handling movement externally using FinalizeMovement but you want to use the built-in rotation code.

float slowdownDistance = 0.6F

Distance from the end of the path where the AI will start to slow down.

bool slowWhenNotFacingTarget = true

Slow down when not facing the target direction.

Incurs at a small performance overhead.

Vector3 steeringTarget

Point on the path which the agent is currently moving towards.

This is usually a point a small distance ahead of the agent or the end of the path.

If the agent does not have a path at the moment, then the agent's current position will be returned.

void Teleport (

Vector3	newPosition
bool	clearPath=true

)

Instantly move the agent to a new position.

This will trigger a path recalculation (if clearPath is true, which is the default) so if you want to teleport the agent and change its destination it is recommended that you set the destination before calling this method.

The current path will be cleared by default.

bool updatePosition = true

Determines if the character's position should be coupled to the Transform's position.

If false then all movement calculations will happen as usual, but the object that this component is attached to will not move instead only the position property will change.

This is useful if you want to control the movement of the character using some other means such as for example root motion but still want the AI to move freely.

bool updateRotation = true

Determines if the character's rotation should be coupled to the Transform's rotation.

If false then all movement calculations will happen as usual, but the object that this component is attached to will not rotate instead only the rotation property will change.

Vector3 velocity

Actual velocity that the agent is moving with.

In world units per second.

CloseToDestinationMode whenCloseToDestination = CloseToDestinationMode.Stop

What to do when within endReachedDistance units from the destination.

The character can either stop immediately when it comes within that distance, which is useful for e.g archers or other ranged units that want to fire on a target. Or the character can continue to try to reach the exact destination point and come to a full stop there. This is useful if you want the character to reach the exact point that you specified.

void ApplyGravity (

float

deltaTime

)

Accelerates the agent downwards.

void Awake ()

Vector2 CalculateDeltaToMoveThisFrame (

Vector2	position
float	distanceToEndOfPath
float	deltaTime

)

Calculates how far to move during a single frame.

void CalculateNextRotation (

float	slowdown
out Quaternion	nextRotation

)

void CalculatePathRequestEndpoints (

out Vector3	start
out Vector3	end

)

Outputs the start point and end point of the next automatic path request.

This is a separate method to make it easy for subclasses to swap out the endpoints of path requests. For example the #LocalSpaceRichAI script which requires the endpoints to be transformed to graph space first.

void CancelCurrentPathRequest ()

Vector3 ClampToNavmesh (

Vector3	position	Current position of the character.
out bool	positionChanged	True if the character's position was modified by this method.

)

Constrains the character's position to lie on the navmesh.

Not all movement scripts have support for this.

CharacterController controller

Cached CharacterController component.

void FindComponents ()

void FixedUpdate ()

Called every physics update.

If rigidbodies are used then all movement happens here.

Color GizmoColorRaycast = new Color(118.0f/255, 206.0f/255, 112.0f/255)

PathInterpolator interpolator = new PathInterpolator()

Helper which calculates points along the current path.

Vector2 lastDeltaPosition

Amount which the character wants or tried to move with during the last frame.

float lastDeltaTime

Delta time used for movement during the last frame.

float lastRepath = float.NegativeInfinity

Time when the last path request was started.

Vector3 lastTarget

Point for the last spawn of endOfPathEffect.

void MovementUpdateInternal (

float	deltaTime
out Vector3	nextPosition
out Quaternion	nextRotation

)

Called during either Update or FixedUpdate depending on if rigidbodies are used for movement or not.

void OnDisable ()

void OnDrawGizmos ()

void OnDrawGizmosSelected ()

void OnEnable ()

Called when the component is enabled.

int OnUpgradeSerializedData (

int	version
bool	unityThread

)

Handle serialization backwards compatibility.

Path path

Current path which is followed.

int prevFrame

Last frame index when prevPosition1 was updated.

Vector3 prevPosition1

Position of the character at the end of the last frame.

Vector3 prevPosition2

Position of the character at the end of the frame before the last frame.

Vector3 RaycastPosition (

Vector3	position	Position of the character in the world.
float	lastElevation	Elevation coordinate before the agent was moved. This is along the 'up' axis of the movementPlane.

)

Checks if the character is grounded and prevents ground penetration.

Sets verticalVelocity to zero if the character is grounded.

IEnumerator RepeatTrySearchPath ()

Tries to search for a path every repathRate seconds.

Rigidbody rigid

Cached Rigidbody component.

Rigidbody2D rigid2D

Cached Rigidbody component.

RVOController rvoController

Cached RVOController component.

Seeker seeker

Cached Seeker component.

bool shouldRecalculatePath

True if the path should be automatically recalculated as soon as possible.

Vector3 simulatedPosition

Position of the agent.

If updatePosition is true then this value will be synchronized every frame with Transform.position.

Quaternion simulatedRotation

Rotation of the agent.

If updateRotation is true then this value will be synchronized every frame with Transform.rotation.

Quaternion SimulateRotationTowards (

Vector2	direction	Direction in the movement plane to rotate towards.
float	maxDegrees	Maximum number of degrees to rotate this frame.

)

Simulates rotating the agent towards the specified direction and returns the new rotation.

Note that this only calculates a new rotation, it does not change the actual rotation of the agent.

Transform tr

Cached Transform component.

void Update ()

Called every frame.

If no rigidbodies are used then all movement happens here.

void UpdateVelocity ()

bool usingGravity

Indicates if gravity is used during this frame.

Vector2 velocity2D

Current desired velocity of the agent (does not include local avoidance and physics).

Lies in the movement plane.

float verticalVelocity

Velocity due to gravity.

Perpendicular to the movement plane.

When the agent is grounded this may not accurately reflect the velocity of the agent. It may be non-zero even though the agent is not moving.

bool waitingForPathCalculation = false

Only when the previous path has been calculated should the script consider searching for a new path.
