iMesh::findShortestPath()

Description

Finds the shortest path from a given start position to a given end position for agents with a specified collision shape.

Syntax

std::unique_ptr<iPath> findShortestPath(const iShape& shape, const iCollisionContext* context, const cPosition& start, const cPosition& goal) const

Parameters

shape The collision shape to use for this query.
context The state of dynamic collision that will apply for this query.
An empty context can be specified by passing nullptr for this argument.
start The start point for pathfinding.
This position must be a valid position on this mesh, and must not be obstructed by the base mesh or burnt-in obstacles.
goal The target point for pathfinding.
This position must be a valid position on this mesh.

Requirements

Requires that pathfind preprocess has been generated on this mesh for the collision shape specified.

Return Value

A newly created Interface iPath object, if a path can be found.
Otherwise a zero pointer is returned.

Remarks

Calling this method is functionally equivalent to calling iMesh::findShortestPath_WithQueryCallBack(), with null for the callback parameter.

C# Mapping

Path findShortestPath(Shape shape, CollisionContext context, PathEngine.Position start, PathEngine.Position goal);
