Pathfinding for player

[casanuda]

Hi,

Anyway to implement pathfinding for player using iso point and click solution?

Thanks

Hmmm I believe it's something similar to what we did on the Adventure Creator Integration, there we use the unity navmesh path to navegate and avoid obstacles using the controller, take a look into this thread:

Hi,

Works when you click a hotspot as per Adventure Creator, I was hoping to have nav mesh functionaliy without hotspots...operating in a point and click manner...anyway to trigger it on a generic click? Or via a different integration?

Great asset BTW.

Thanks

I'm actually not sure if this is on the last update v2.1, but we have a method call MoveToPoint in the vThirdPersonInput
You could replace this method to a simple call like agent.SetDestination, take a look into how the navmesh agent works:

docs.unity3d.com/540/Documentation/ScriptReference/NavMeshAgent.SetDestination.html

"MoveToPoint" seems not to be present in vThirdPersonInput and when you modify the script for using agent.SetDestination instead of cc.input it occurs than the Animator needs to be updated as well... it all cascades to a point when you think that perhaps it is easier to modify the CompanionAI... but that is hard for those of us with low-programming skills and we end up with spaghetti code.

If MoveToPoint makes it to the next update it would be amazing indeed: "This war of mine" gameplay!!!

Found the move to point script and modified it to take unity path finding.

Problem is that it asks for a nav mesh agent on the prefab which breaks the animations.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again

Replacing the MoveToPoint method with agent.SetDestination(cursorTarget) enables wonderful pathfinding, but the character animation is completely lost.
How can I integrate this?

You could use the speed of the nav mesh agent.
float speed = agent.velocity.normalized.magnitude;

animator.SetFloat("InputVertical", speed);
