An implementation of the A* algorithm, used to find the shortest path between two vertices on a connected graph in 2D space.
See AStar3D for a more thorough explanation on how to use this class. AStar2D is a wrapper for AStar3D that enforces 2D coordinates.
Called when computing the cost between two connected points.
Note that this function is hidden in the default AStar2D class.
Called when estimating the cost between a point and the path's ending point.
Note that this function is hidden in the default AStar2D class.
Adds a new point at the given position with the given identifier. The id
must be 0 or larger, and the weight_scale
must be 0.0 or greater.
The weight_scale
is multiplied by the result of _compute_cost when determining the overall cost of traveling across a segment from a neighboring point to this point. Thus, all else being equal, the algorithm prefers points with lower weight_scale
s to form a path.
If there already exists a point for the given id
, its position and weight scale are updated to the given values.
Returns whether there is a connection/segment between the given points. If bidirectional
is false
, returns whether movement from id
to to_id
is possible through this segment.
Clears all the points and segments.
Creates a segment between the given points. If bidirectional
is false
, only movement from id
to to_id
is allowed, not the reverse direction.
Deletes the segment between the given points. If bidirectional
is false
, only movement from id
to to_id
is prevented, and a unidirectional segment possibly remains.
Returns the next available point ID with no point associated to it.
Returns the ID of the closest point to to_position
, optionally taking disabled points into account. Returns -1
if there are no points in the points pool.
Note: If several points are the closest to to_position
, the one with the smallest ID will be returned, ensuring a deterministic result.
Returns the closest position to to_position
that resides inside a segment between two connected points.
The result is in the segment that goes from y = 0
to y = 5
. It's the closest position in the segment to the given point.
Returns an array with the IDs of the points that form the path found by AStar2D between the given points. The array is ordered from the starting point to the ending point of the path.
If you change the 2nd point's weight to 3, then the result will be [1, 4, 3]
instead, because now even though the distance is longer, it's "easier" to get through point 4 than through point 2.
Returns the capacity of the structure backing the points, useful in conjunction with reserve_space.
Returns an array with the IDs of the points that form the connection with the given point.
Returns the number of points currently in the points pool.
Returns an array of all point IDs.
Returns an array with the points that are in the path found by AStar2D between the given points. The array is ordered from the starting point to the ending point of the path.
Note: This method is not thread-safe. If called from a Thread, it will return an empty PackedVector2Array and will print an error message.
Returns the position of the point associated with the given id
.
Returns the weight scale of the point associated with the given id
.
Returns whether a point associated with the given id
exists.
Returns whether a point is disabled or not for pathfinding. By default, all points are enabled.
Removes the point associated with the given id
from the points pool.
Reserves space internally for num_nodes
points, useful if you're adding a known large number of points at once, such as points on a grid. New capacity must be greater or equals to old capacity.
Disables or enables the specified point for pathfinding. Useful for making a temporary obstacle.
Sets the position
for the point with the given id
.
Sets the weight_scale
for the point with the given id
. The weight_scale
is multiplied by the result of _compute_cost when determining the overall cost of traveling across a segment from a neighboring point to this point.
