Does A* work with 3d side scrolling platformers?

Beginner Questions
#1

Hello
I just bought A* pathfinding proj. A bit of an impulse buy because of the Black Friday Sale.

I should have asked this question before buying. = =

I’m making a 3d platformer like Dead Cells \ Donkey Kong Country Returns . Basically 3d Characters using a mix of physics2d and physics, who exist in a 3d world, but are locked to a side scrolling view.

Does A* Pathfinding Proj support 3d platformers like this?

Thanks!

Hi

3D platformers (or platformers of any kind really) is not something that this package supports unfortunately.
You can do quite a lot with point graphs to get pathfinding working in that kind of environment, but there are no included movement scripts for those kinds of games I’m afraid, so you would have to write quite a lot of custom code for it.

If this makes the package essentially useless for you, a refund could of course be issued.

Darn that’s too bad.

May I ask how to get a refund?

I was hoping it could save me work on enemy AI movement. But my coding skills are too weak to achieve what you’re suggesting. :frowning: :
