Class LevelGridNode Extends GridNodeBase

void AddConnection (

GraphNode	node
uint	cost

)

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 that this will always add a custom connection which is a bit slower than the internal connection list to adjacent grid nodes. If you only want to modify connections between grid nodes that are adjacent to each other, and don't want custom costs, then using #SetConnectionInternal might be a better option.

void ClearConnections (

bool

alsoReverse

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

)

Remove all connections from this node.

Vector3 ClosestPointOnNode (

Vector3

p

)

Closest point on the surface of this node to the point p.

void DeserializeNode (

GraphSerializationContext

ctx

)

Deserializes the node data from a byte array.

int GetConnectionValue (

int

dir

Direction for the connection.

)

Which layer a grid connection goes to.

void GetConnections (

System.Action<GraphNode>

action

)

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);


int GetGizmoHashCode ()

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

Will change when the gizmos for the node might change.

GridNodeBase GetNeighbourAlongDirection (

int

direction

)

Adjacent grid node in the specified direction.

This will return null if the node does not have a connection to a node in that direction.

The dir parameter corresponds to directions in the grid as: Z

6 2 5
\ | /
-- 3 - X - 1 ----- X
/ | \
7 0 4

bool GetPortal (

GraphNode	other	The node which is on the other side of the portal.
out Vector3	left	Output left side of the portal.
out Vector3	right	Output right side of the portal.

)

Add a portal from this node to the specified node.

This function returns a portal which connects this node to the given adjacenet node.

The default implementation simply returns false.

bool HasConnectionInDirection (

int

direction

)

True if the node has a connection to an adjecent node in the specified direction.

The dir parameter corresponds to directions in the grid as: Z

Used internally for the A* algorithm.

Vector3 ProjectOnSurface (

Vector3

point

)

Projects the given point onto the plane of this node's surface.

The point will be projected down to a plane that contains the surface of the node. If the point is not contained inside the node, it is projected down onto this plane anyway.

int LayerCoordinateInGrid

Layer coordinate of the node in the grid.

If there are multiple nodes in the same (x,z) cell, then they will be stored in different layers. Together with NodeInGridIndex, you can look up the node in the nodes array int index = node.NodeInGridIndex + node.LayerCoordinateInGrid * graph.width * graph.depth;
Assert(node == graph.nodes[index]);


uint gridConnections

const int MaxLayerCount = ConnectionMask

const int NoConnection = 0xF

uint Area

Connected component that contains the node.

This is visualized in the scene view as differently colored nodes (if the graph coloring mode is set to 'Areas'). Each area represents a set of nodes such that there is no valid path between nodes of different colors.

void ClearCustomConnections (

bool

alsoReverse

)

Same as ClearConnections, but does not clear grid connections, only custom ones (e.g added by AddConnection or a NodeLink component)

bool ContainsConnection (

GraphNode

node

)

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

AstarPath.active.AddWorkItem(new AstarWorkItem(ctx => {
// Connect two nodes
var node1 = AstarPath.active.GetNearest(transform.position, NNConstraint.None).node;
var node2 = AstarPath.active.GetNearest(transform.position + Vector3.right, NNConstraint.None).node;
var cost = (uint)(node2.position - node1.position).costMagnitude;
node1.AddConnection(node2, cost);
node2.AddConnection(node1, cost);

node1.ContainsConnection(node2); // True

node1.RemoveConnection(node2);
node2.RemoveConnection(node1);
}));


bool ContainsPoint (

Int3

point

)

Checks if point is inside the node when seen from above.

bool ContainsPoint (

Vector3

point

)

Checks if point is inside the node when seen from above.

The borders of a node are considered to be inside the node.

Note that ContainsPointInGraphSpace is faster than this method as it avoids some coordinate transformations. If you are repeatedly calling this method on many different nodes but with the same point then you should consider transforming the point first and then calling ContainsPointInGraphSpace. Int3 p = (Int3)graph.transform.InverseTransform(point);

node.ContainsPointInGraphSpace(p);


bool ContainsPointInGraphSpace (

Int3

point

)

Checks if point is inside the node in graph space.

The borders of a node are considered to be inside the node.

The y coordinate of the point is ignored.

void DeserializeReferences (

GraphSerializationContext

ctx

)

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.

void Destroy ()

Destroys the node.

Cleans up any temporary pathfinding data used for this node. The graph is responsible for calling this method on nodes when they are destroyed, including when the whole graph is destoyed. Otherwise memory leaks might present themselves.

Once called the Destroyed property will return true and subsequent calls to this method will not do anything.

bool Destroyed

uint Flags

Holds various bitpacked variables.

Bit 0: Walkable Bits 1 through 17: HierarchicalNodeIndex Bit 18: IsHierarchicalNodeDirty Bits 19 through 23: Tag Bits 24 through 31: GraphIndex

NavGraph? Graph

Graph which this node belongs to.

If you know the node belongs to a particular graph type, you can cast it to that type: GraphNode node = ...;
GridGraph graph = node.Graph as GridGraph;


Will return null if the node has been destroyed.

uint GraphIndex

Graph which contains this node.

const uint MaxGraphIndex = FlagsGraphMask >> FlagsGraphOffset

Max number of graphs-1.

const uint MaxHierarchicalNodeIndex = HierarchicalIndexMask >> FlagsHierarchicalIndexOffset

const int MaxTagIndex = 32 - 1

Max number of tags - 1.

Always a power of 2 minus one

int NodeInGridIndex

The index of the node in the grid.

This is x + z*graph.width So you can get the X and Z indices using int index = node.NodeInGridIndex;
int x = index % graph.width;
int z = index / graph.width;
// where graph is GridNode.GetGridGraph (node.graphIndex), i.e the graph the nodes are contained in.


const int NodeInGridIndexLayerOffset = 24

int NodeIndex

Internal unique index.

Every node will get a unique index. This index is not necessarily correlated with e.g the position of the node in the graph.

Vector2 NormalizePoint (

Vector3

worldPoint

)

Transforms a world space point to a normalized point on this node's surface.

(0.5,0.5) represents the node's center. (0,0), (1,0), (1,1) and (0,1) each represent the corners of the node.

int OppositeConnectionDirection (

int

dir

)

The connection oppositie the given one.

Z

6 2 5
\ | /
-- 3 - X - 1 ----- X

For example, dir=1 outputs 3, dir=6 outputs 4 and so on.

uint? Penalty

Penalty cost for walking on this node.

This can be used to make it harder/slower to walk over certain nodes. A cost of 1000 (Int3.Precision) corresponds to the cost of moving 1 world unit.

Vector3 RandomPointOnSurface ()

A random point on the surface of the node.

For point nodes and other nodes which do not have a surface, this will always return the position of the node.

void SerializeReferences (

GraphSerializationContext

ctx

)

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.

void SetConnectivityDirty ()

Inform the system that the node's connectivity has changed.

This is used for recalculating the connected components of the graph.

You must call this method if you change the connectivity or walkability of the node without going through the high level methods such as the Walkable property or the AddConnection method. For example if your manually change the Pathfinding.MeshNode.connections array you need to call this method.

float SurfaceArea ()

The surface area of the node in square world units.

uint Tag

Node tag.

bool? TmpWalkable

Temporary variable used internally when updating the graph.

Vector3 UnNormalizePoint (

Vector2

normalizedPointOnSurface

)

Transforms a normalized point on this node's surface to a world space point.

(0.5,0.5) represents the node's center. (0,0), (1,0), (1,1) and (0,1) each represent the corners of the node.

bool? Walkable

True if the node is traversable.

bool? WalkableErosion

Stores walkability before erosion is applied.

Used internally when updating the graph.

int XCoordinateInGrid

X coordinate of the node in the grid.

The node in the bottom left corner has (x,z) = (0,0) and the one in the opposite corner has (x,z) = (width-1, depth-1)

int ZCoordinateInGrid

Z coordinate of the node in the grid.

The node in the bottom left corner has (x,z) = (0,0) and the one in the opposite corner has (x,z) = (width-1, depth-1)

Connection[] connections

Custon non-grid connections from this node.

This field is removed if the ASTAR_GRID_NO_CUSTOM_CONNECTIONS compiler directive is used. Removing it can save a tiny bit of memory. You can enable the define in the Optimizations tab in the A* inspector.

Int3 position

Position of the node in world space.

const int AxisAlignedConnectionsMask = 0xFFFF

const ulong AxisAlignedConnectionsOR = ((ulong)NoConnection << 4*ConnectionStride) | ((ulong)NoConnection << 5*ConnectionStride) | ((ulong)NoConnection << 6*ConnectionStride) | ((ulong)NoConnection << 7*ConnectionStride)

const int ConnectionMask = 0xF

const int ConnectionStride = 4

int HierarchicalNodeIndex

Hierarchical Node that contains this node.

The graph is divided into clusters of small hierarchical nodes in which there is a path from every node to every other node. This structure is used to speed up connected component calculations which is used to quickly determine if a node is reachable from another node.

bool? IsHierarchicalNodeDirty

Some internal bookkeeping.

const int MaxNeighbours = 8

const int NodeInGridIndexMask = 0xFFFFFF

void RemoveGridConnection (

LevelGridNode

node
