Class AstarPath Extends VersionedMonoBehaviour

void AddWorkItem (

System.Action<IWorkItemContext>

callback

)

Add a work item to be processed when pathfinding is paused.

Convenience method that is equivalent to AddWorkItem(new AstarWorkItem(callback));


void AddWorkItem (

System.Action

callback

)

Add a work item to be processed when pathfinding is paused.

Convenience method that is equivalent to AddWorkItem(new AstarWorkItem(callback));


void AddWorkItem (

AstarWorkItem

item

)

Add a work item to be processed when pathfinding is paused.

The work item will be executed when it is safe to update nodes. This is defined as between the path searches. When using more threads than one, calling this often might decrease pathfinding performance due to a lot of idling in the threads. Not performance as in it will use much CPU power, but performance as in the number of paths per second will probably go down (though your framerate might actually increase a tiny bit).

You should only call this function from the main unity thread (i.e normal game code).

AstarPath.active.AddWorkItem(new AstarWorkItem(() => {
// Safe to update graphs here
var node = AstarPath.active.GetNearest(transform.position).node;
node.Walkable = false;
}));
AstarPath.active.AddWorkItem(() => {
// Safe to update graphs here
var node = AstarPath.active.GetNearest(transform.position).node;
node.position = (Int3)transform.position;
});


Unity.Jobs.JobHandle AllocateNodes< T > (

T[]	result	Node array to fill
int	count	How many nodes to allocate
System.Func<T>	createNode	Delegate which creates a node. () => new T(). Note that new T(AstarPath.active) should *not* be used as that will cause the node to be initialized twice. var nodes = new PointNode[128]; var job = AstarPath.active.AllocateNodes(nodes, 128, () => new PointNode()); job.Complete();

)

Allocate a bunch of nodes at once.

This is faster than allocating each individual node separately and it can be done in a separate thread by using jobs.

void BlockUntilPathQueueBlocked ()

Blocks until all pathfinding threads are paused and blocked.

void DrawGizmos ()

Calls OnDrawGizmos on graph generators.

void EnsureValidFloodFill ()

If a WorkItem needs to have a valid flood fill during execution, call this method to ensure there are no pending flood fills.

AstarPath.active.AddWorkItem(new AstarWorkItem(() => {
// Safe to update graphs here
var node = AstarPath.active.GetNearest(transform.position).node;
node.Walkable = false;
}));


void FloodFill ()

Floodfills all graphs and updates areas for every node.

The different colored areas that you see in the scene view when looking at graphs are called just 'areas', this method calculates which nodes are in what areas.

void FloodFill (

GraphNode

seed

)

Floodfills starting from the specified node.

void FloodFill (

GraphNode	seed
uint	area

)

Floodfills starting from 'seed' using the specified area.

void FlushGraphUpdates ()

Forces graph updates to complete in a single frame.

This will force the pathfinding threads to finish calculating the path they are currently calculating (if any) and then pause. When all threads have paused, graph updates will be performed.

Will not do anything if there are no graph updates queued (not even execute other work items).

void FlushThreadSafeCallbacks ()

Forces thread safe callbacks to run.

void FlushWorkItems ()

Forces work items to complete in a single frame.

This will force all work items to run immidiately. This will force the pathfinding threads to finish calculating the path they are currently calculating (if any) and then pause. When all threads have paused, work items will be executed (which can be e.g graph updates).

Will not do anything if there are no queued work items waiting to run.

void FlushWorkItems (

bool	unblockOnComplete	If true, pathfinding will be allowed to start running immediately after completing all work items.
bool	block	If true, work items that usually take more than one frame to complete will be forced to complete during this call. If false, then after this call there might still be work left to do.

)

Make sure work items are executed.

NNInfo GetNearest (

Vector3

position

)

Returns the nearest node to a position.

This method will search through all graphs and query them for the closest node to this position, and then it will return the closest one of those.

Equivalent to GetNearest(position, NNConstraint.None).

// Find the closest node to this GameObject's position
GraphNode node = AstarPath.active.GetNearest(transform.position).node;

if (node.Walkable) {
// Yay, the node is walkable, we can place a tower here or something
}


GraphNode GetNearest (

Ray

ray

)

Returns the node closest to the ray (slow).

NNInfo GetNearest (

Vector3	position
NNConstraint	constraint

)

Returns the nearest node to a position using the specified NNConstraint.

Searches through all graphs for their nearest nodes to the specified position and picks the closest one. The NNConstraint can be used to specify constraints on which nodes can be chosen such as only picking walkable nodes.

GraphNode node = AstarPath.active.GetNearest(transform.position, NNConstraint.Default).node;
var constraint = NNConstraint.None;

// Constrain the search to walkable nodes only
constraint.constrainWalkability = true;
constraint.walkable = true;

// Constrain the search to only nodes with tag 3 or tag 5
// The 'tags' field is a bitmask
constraint.constrainTags = true;
constraint.tags = (1 << 3) | (1 << 5);

var info = AstarPath.active.GetNearest(transform.position, constraint);
var node = info.node;
var closestPoint = info.position;


NNInfo GetNearest (

Vector3	position
NNConstraint	constraint
GraphNode	hint

)

Returns the nearest node to a position using the specified NNConstraint.

Searches through all graphs for their nearest nodes to the specified position and picks the closest one. The NNConstraint can be used to specify constraints on which nodes can be chosen such as only picking walkable nodes.

string[] GetTagNames ()

Returns tag names.

Makes sure that the tag names array is not null and of length 32. If it is null or not of length 32, it creates a new array and fills it with 0,1,2,3,4 etc...

PathProcessor.GraphUpdateLock PausePathfinding ()

Blocks until all pathfinding threads are paused and blocked.

var graphLock = AstarPath.active.PausePathfinding();
// Here we can modify the graphs safely. For example by adding a new node to a point graph
var node = AstarPath.active.data.pointGraph.AddNode((Int3) new Vector3(3, 1, 4));

// Allow pathfinding to resume
graphLock.Release();


void QueueGraphUpdates ()

Will apply queued graph updates as soon as possible, regardless of batchGraphUpdates.

Calling this multiple times will not create multiple callbacks. This function is useful if you are limiting graph updates, but you want a specific graph update to be applied as soon as possible regardless of the time limit. Note that this does not block until the updates are done, it merely bypasses the batchGraphUpdates time limit.

void QueueWorkItemFloodFill ()

Call during work items to queue a flood fill.

AstarPath.active.AddWorkItem(new AstarWorkItem(() => {
// Safe to update graphs here
var node = AstarPath.active.GetNearest(transform.position).node;
node.Walkable = false;
}));


void Scan (

NavGraph[]

graphsToScan=null

The graphs to scan. If this parameter is null then all graphs will be scanned

)

Scans all specified graphs.

Calling this method will recalculate all specified graphs or all graphs if the graphsToScan parameter is null. This method is pretty slow (depending on graph type and graph complexity of course), so it is advisable to use smaller graph updates whenever possible.

// Recalculate all graphs
AstarPath.active.Scan();

// Recalculate only the first grid graph
var graphToScan = AstarPath.active.data.gridGraph;
AstarPath.active.Scan(graphToScan);

// Recalculate only the first and third graphs
var graphsToScan = new [] { AstarPath.active.data.graphs[0], AstarPath.active.data.graphs[2] };
AstarPath.active.Scan(graphsToScan);


void Scan (

NavGraph

graphToScan

)

Scans a particular graph.

Calling this method will recalculate the specified graph. This method is pretty slow (depending on graph type and graph complexity of course), so it is advisable to use smaller graph updates whenever possible.

// Recalculate all graphs
AstarPath.active.Scan();

// Recalculate only the first grid graph
var graphToScan = AstarPath.active.data.gridGraph;
AstarPath.active.Scan(graphToScan);

// Recalculate only the first and third graphs
var graphsToScan = new [] { AstarPath.active.data.graphs[0], AstarPath.active.data.graphs[2] };
AstarPath.active.Scan(graphsToScan);


IEnumerable<Progress> ScanAsync (

NavGraph

graphToScan

)

Scans a particular graph asynchronously.

This is a IEnumerable, you can loop through it to get the progress foreach (Progress progress in AstarPath.active.ScanAsync()) {
Debug.Log("Scanning... " + progress.description + " - " + (progress.progress*100).ToString("0") + "%");
}
You can scan graphs asyncronously by yielding when you loop through the progress. Note that this does not guarantee a good framerate, but it will allow you to at least show a progress bar during scanning. IEnumerator Start () {
foreach (Progress progress in AstarPath.active.ScanAsync()) {
Debug.Log("Scanning... " + progress.description + " - " + (progress.progress*100).ToString("0") + "%");
yield return null;
}
}


IEnumerable<Progress> ScanAsync (

NavGraph[]

graphsToScan=null

The graphs to scan. If this parameter is null then all graphs will be scanned

)

Scans all specified graphs asynchronously.

This is a IEnumerable, you can loop through it to get the progress foreach (Progress progress in AstarPath.active.ScanAsync()) {
Debug.Log("Scanning... " + progress.description + " - " + (progress.progress*100).ToString("0") + "%");
}
You can scan graphs asyncronously by yielding when you loop through the progress. Note that this does not guarantee a good framerate, but it will allow you to at least show a progress bar during scanning. IEnumerator Start () {
foreach (Progress progress in AstarPath.active.ScanAsync()) {
Debug.Log("Scanning... " + progress.description + " - " + (progress.progress*100).ToString("0") + "%");
yield return null;
}
}


void UpdateGraphs (

Bounds

bounds

)

Update all graphs within bounds.

The graphs will be updated as soon as possible.

This is equivalent to UpdateGraphs(new GraphUpdateObject(bounds));


void UpdateGraphs (

GraphUpdateObject

ob

)

Update all graphs using the GraphUpdateObject.

This can be used to, e.g make all nodes in a region unwalkable, or set them to a higher penalty. The graphs will be updated as soon as possible (with respect to batchGraphUpdates)

void UpdateGraphs (

Bounds	bounds
float	delay

)

Update all graphs within bounds after delay seconds.

The graphs will be updated as soon as possible.

void UpdateGraphs (

GraphUpdateObject	ob
float	delay

)

Update all graphs using the GraphUpdateObject after delay seconds.

This can be used to, e.g make all nodes in a region unwalkable, or set them to a higher penalty.

void BlockUntilCalculated (

Path

path

The path to wait for. The path must be started, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

)

Blocks until the path has been calculated.

Normally it takes a few frames for a path to be calculated and returned. This function will ensure that the path will be calculated when this function returns and that the callback for that path has been called.

If requesting a lot of paths in one go and waiting for the last one to complete, it will calculate most of the paths in the queue (only most if using multithreading, all if not using multithreading).

Use this function only if you really need to. There is a point to spreading path calculations out over several frames. It smoothes out the framerate and makes sure requesting a large number of paths at the same time does not cause lag.

When the pathfinder is shutting down. I.e in OnDestroy, this function will not do anything.

int CalculateThreadCount (

ThreadCount

count

)

Calculates number of threads to use.

If count is not Automatic, simply returns count casted to an int.

If count is set to Automatic it will return a value based on the number of processors and memory for the current system. If memory is <= 512MB or logical cores are <= 1, it will return 0. If memory is <= 1024 it will clamp threads to max 2. Otherwise it will return the number of logical cores clamped to 6.

When running on WebGL this method always returns 0

void FindAstarPath ()

Used outside of play mode to initialize the AstarPath object even if it has not been selected in the inspector yet.

This will set the active property and deserialize all graphs.

This is useful if you want to do changes to the graphs in the editor outside of play mode, but cannot be sure that the graphs have been deserialized yet. In play mode this method does nothing.

string[] FindTagNames ()

Tries to find an AstarPath object and return tag names.

If an AstarPath object cannot be found, it returns an array of length 1 with an error message.

void RegisterSafeUpdate (

System.Action

callback

)

Will send a callback when it is safe to update nodes.

This is defined as between the path searches. This callback will only be sent once and is nulled directly after the callback has been sent. When using more threads than one, calling this often might decrease pathfinding performance due to a lot of idling in the threads. Not performance as in it will use much CPU power, but performance as in the number of paths per second will probably go down (though your framerate might actually increase a tiny bit)

You should only call this function from the main unity thread (i.e normal game code).

void StartPath (

Path	path	The path that should be enqueued.
bool	pushToFront=false	If true, the path will be pushed to the front of the queue, bypassing all waiting paths and making it the next path to be calculated. This can be useful if you have a path which you want to prioritize over all others. Be careful to not overuse it though. If too many paths are put in the front of the queue often, this can lead to normal paths having to wait a very long time before being calculated.

)

Adds the path to a queue so that it will be calculated as soon as possible.

The callback specified when constructing the path will be called when the path has been calculated. Usually you should use the Seeker component instead of calling this function directly.

void WaitForPath (

Path

path

)

Wait for the specified path to be calculated.

Normally it takes a few frames for a path to get calculated and returned.

AstarData astarData

Holds all graph data.

bool batchGraphUpdates = false

Throttle graph updates and batch them to improve performance.

If toggled, graph updates will batched and executed less often (specified by graphUpdateBatchingInterval).

This can have a positive impact on pathfinding throughput since the pathfinding threads do not need to be stopped as often, and it reduces the overhead per graph update. All graph updates are still applied however, they are just batched together so that more of them are applied at the same time.

However do not use this if you want minimal latency between a graph update being requested and it being applied.

This only applies to graph updates requested using the UpdateGraphs method. Not those requested using RegisterSafeUpdate or AddWorkItem.

If you want to apply graph updates immediately at some point, you can call FlushGraphUpdates.

AstarColor colorSettings

Reference to the color settings for this AstarPath object.

Color settings include for example which color the nodes should be in, in the sceneview.

AstarData data

Holds all graph data.

float debugFloor = 0

Low value to use for certain debugMode modes.

For example if debugMode is set to G, this value will determine when the node will be completely red.

GraphDebugMode debugMode

The mode to use for drawing nodes in the sceneview.

PathHandler debugPathData

The path to debug using gizmos.

This is the path handler used to calculate the last path. It is used in the editor to draw debug information using gizmos.

ushort debugPathID

The path ID to debug using gizmos.

float debugRoof = 20000

High value to use for certain debugMode modes.

For example if debugMode is set to G, this value will determine when the node will be completely green.

For the penalty debug mode, the nodes will be colored green when they have a penalty less than debugFloor and red when their penalty is greater or equal to this value and something between red and green otherwise.

EuclideanEmbedding euclideanEmbedding = new EuclideanEmbedding()

Holds settings for heuristic optimization.

bool fullGetNearestSearch = false

Do a full GetNearest search for all graphs.

Additional searches will normally only be done on the graph which in the first fast search seemed to have the closest node. With this setting on, additional searches will be done on all graphs since the first check is not always completely accurate.
More technically: GetNearestForce on all graphs will be called if true, otherwise only on the one graph which's GetNearest search returned the best node.
Usually faster when disabled, but higher quality searches when enabled. When using a a navmesh or recast graph, for best quality, this setting should be combined with the Pathfinding.NavMeshGraph.accurateNearestNode setting set to true.

NavGraph[] graphs

Shortcut to Pathfinding.AstarData.graphs.

System.Type[] graphTypes

See Pathfinding.AstarData.

float graphUpdateBatchingInterval = 0.2F

Minimum number of seconds between each batch of graph updates.

If batchGraphUpdates is true, this defines the minimum number of seconds between each batch of graph updates.

This can have a positive impact on pathfinding throughput since the pathfinding threads do not need to be stopped as often, and it reduces the overhead per graph update. All graph updates are still applied however, they are just batched together so that more of them are applied at the same time.

Do not use this if you want minimal latency between a graph update being requested and it being applied.

This only applies to graph updates requested using the UpdateGraphs method. Not those requested using RegisterSafeUpdate or AddWorkItem.

Heuristic heuristic = Heuristic.Euclidean

The distance function to use as a heuristic.

The heuristic, often referred to as just 'H' is the estimated cost from a node to the target. Different heuristics affect how the path picks which one to follow from multiple possible with the same length

float heuristicScale = 1F

The scale of the heuristic.

If a value lower than 1 is used, the pathfinder will search more nodes (slower). If 0 is used, the pathfinding algorithm will be reduced to dijkstra's algorithm. This is equivalent to setting heuristic to None. If a value larger than 1 is used the pathfinding will (usually) be faster because it expands fewer nodes, but the paths may no longer be the optimal (i.e the shortest possible paths).

Usually you should leave this to the default value of 1.

bool IsAnyGraphUpdateInProgress

Returns if any graph updates are being calculated right now.

bool IsAnyGraphUpdateQueued

Returns if any graph updates are waiting to be applied.

bool IsAnyGraphUpdatesQueued

Returns if any graph updates are waiting to be applied.

bool IsAnyWorkItemInProgress

Returns if any work items are in progress right now.

bool isScanning

Set while any graphs are being scanned.

It will be true up until the FloodFill is done.

Used to better support Graph Update Objects called for example in OnPostScan

bool IsUsingMultithreading

Returns whether or not multithreading is used.

float lastScanTime

The time it took for the last call to Scan() to complete.

Used to prevent automatically rescanning the graphs too often (editor only)

bool limitGraphUpdates

Batch graph updates.

PathLog logPathResults = PathLog.Normal

The amount of debugging messages.

Use less debugging to improve performance (a bit) or just to get rid of the Console spamming. Use more debugging (heavy) if you want more information about what the pathfinding scripts are doing. The InGame option will display the latest path log using in-game GUI.

bool manualDebugFloorRoof = false

If set, the debugFloor and debugRoof values will not be automatically recalculated.

float maxFrameTime = 1F

Max number of milliseconds to spend each frame for pathfinding.

At least 500 nodes will be searched each frame (if there are that many to search). When using multithreading this value is irrelevant.

float maxGraphUpdateFreq

Limit for how often should graphs be updated.

float maxNearestNodeDistance = 100

Maximum distance to search for nodes.

When searching for the nearest node to a point, this is the limit (in world units) for how far away it is allowed to be.

This is relevant if you try to request a path to a point that cannot be reached and it thus has to search for the closest node to that point which can be reached (which might be far away). If it cannot find a node within this distance then the path will fail.

float maxNearestNodeDistanceSqr

Max Nearest Node Distance Squared.

NavmeshUpdates navmeshUpdates = new NavmeshUpdates()

Handles navmesh cuts.

int NumParallelThreads

Number of parallel pathfinders.

Returns the number of concurrent processes which can calculate paths at once. When using multithreading, this will be the number of threads, if not using multithreading it is always 1 (since only 1 coroutine is used).

System.Action OnGraphsWillBeUpdated

System.Action OnGraphsWillBeUpdated2

bool prioritizeGraphs = false

Prioritize graphs.

Graphs will be prioritized based on their order in the inspector. The first graph which has a node closer than prioritizeGraphsLimit will be chosen instead of searching all graphs.

float prioritizeGraphsLimit = 1F

Distance limit for prioritizeGraphs.

bool scanOnStartup = true

If true, all graphs will be scanned during Awake.

This does not include loading from the cache. If you disable this, you will have to call AstarPath.active.Scan() yourself to enable pathfinding. Alternatively you could load a saved graph from a file.

bool showGraphs = false

Shows or hides graph inspectors.

Used internally by the editor

bool showNavGraphs = true

Visualize graphs in the scene view (editor only).

bool showSearchTree = false

If enabled, nodes will draw a line to their 'parent'.

This will show the search tree for the latest path.

bool showUnwalkableNodes = true

Toggle to show unwalkable nodes.

ThreadCount threadCount = ThreadCount.One

Number of pathfinding threads to use.

Multithreading puts pathfinding in another thread, this is great for performance on 2+ core computers since the framerate will barely be affected by the pathfinding at all.

• None indicates that the pathfinding is run in the Unity thread as a coroutine

• Automatic will try to adjust the number of threads to the number of cores and memory on the computer. Less than 512mb of memory or a single core computer will make it revert to using no multithreading.

It is recommended that you use one of the "Auto" settings that are available. The reason is that even if your computer might be beefy and have 8 cores. Other computers might only be quad core or dual core in which case they will not benefit from more than 1 or 3 threads respectively (you usually want to leave one core for the unity thread). If you use more threads than the number of cores on the computer it is mostly just wasting memory, it will not run any faster. The extra memory usage is not trivially small. Each thread needs to keep a small amount of data for each node in all the graphs. It is not the full graph data but it is proportional to the number of nodes. The automatic settings will inspect the machine it is running on and use that to determine the number of threads so that no memory is wasted.

The exception is if you only have one (or maybe two characters) active at time. Then you should probably just go with one thread always since it is very unlikely that you will need the extra throughput given by more threads. Keep in mind that more threads primarily increases throughput by calculating different paths on different threads, it will not calculate individual paths any faster.

Note that if you are modifying the pathfinding core scripts or if you are directly modifying graph data without using any of the safe wrappers (like AddWorkItem) multithreading can cause strange errors and pathfinding stopping to work if you are not careful. For basic usage (not modding the pathfinding core) it should be safe.

float unwalkableNodeDebugSize = 0.3F

Size of the red cubes shown in place of unwalkable nodes.

AstarPath active

Returns the active AstarPath object in the scene.

string Branch = "master"

Which branch of the A* Pathfinding Project is this release.

Used when checking for updates so that users of the development versions can get notifications of development updates.

AstarDistribution Distribution = AstarDistribution.PackageManager

Used by the editor to guide the user to the correct place to download updates.

System.Action On65KOverflow

Called when pathID overflows 65536 and resets back to zero.

System.Action OnAwakeSettings

Called on Awake before anything else is done.

This is called at the start of the Awake call, right after active has been set, but this is the only thing that has been done.
Use this when you want to set up default settings for an AstarPath component created during runtime since some settings can only be changed in Awake (such as multithreading related stuff) // Create a new AstarPath object on Start and apply some default settings
public void Start () {
AstarPath.OnAwakeSettings += ApplySettings;
AstarPath astar = gameObject.AddComponent<AstarPath>();
}

public void ApplySettings () {
// Unregister from the delegate
AstarPath.OnAwakeSettings -= ApplySettings;
// For example threadCount should not be changed after the Awake call
// so here's the only place to set it if you create the component during runtime
AstarPath.active.threadCount = ThreadCount.One;
}


OnGraphDelegate OnGraphPostScan

Called for each graph after they have been scanned.

All other graphs might not have been scanned yet. In most cases it is recommended to create a custom class which inherits from Pathfinding.GraphModifier instead.

OnGraphDelegate OnGraphPreScan

Called for each graph before they are scanned.

In most cases it is recommended to create a custom class which inherits from Pathfinding.GraphModifier instead.

OnScanDelegate OnGraphsUpdated

Register to for example recalculate the path whenever a graph changes. In most cases it is recommended to create a custom class which inherits from Pathfinding.GraphModifier instead.

OnScanDelegate OnLatePostScan

Called after scanning has completed fully.

This is called as the last thing in the Scan function. In most cases it is recommended to create a custom class which inherits from Pathfinding.GraphModifier instead.

OnPathDelegate OnPathPostSearch

Called for each path after searching.

Be careful when using multithreading since this will be called from a different thread.

OnPathDelegate OnPathPreSearch

Called for each path before searching.

Be careful when using multithreading since this will be called from a different thread.

OnScanDelegate OnPostScan

Called after scanning.

This is called before applying links, flood-filling the graphs and other post processing. In most cases it is recommended to create a custom class which inherits from Pathfinding.GraphModifier instead.

OnScanDelegate OnPreScan

Called before starting the scanning.

In most cases it is recommended to create a custom class which inherits from Pathfinding.GraphModifier instead.
