I am using a grid graph, and I am setting nodes to either walkable or not walkable, depending on a 2D texture mask that I create.
When I route my seeker through the graph, it takes the very shortest path, and kind of “waves” along the edges of the walkable nodes.
Is there a way I can have a cushion, or force the seeker to be more in the middle of the path?
Hey,
If you are just looking to smooth the path, you can take a look at the modifiers https://arongranberg.com/astar/docs/modifiers.php
Not sure what the other requirements are for your game, but perhaps the Point Graph would work better for you here.
Hi
You can use the “erosion uses tags” feature to make the nodes near unwalkable nodes have a higher penalty and thus make it move more in the center of the corridors.
See https://arongranberg.com/astar/docs/gridgraph.html#erosionUseTags
Alternatively, and this might be easier, you can add penalties directly to your texture mask using the Grid Graph -> Penalty Modifications -> Use Texture options.
See https://arongranberg.com/astar/docs/gridgraph.html#textureData
As @ToastyStoemp mentions, you can also use modifiers to make the path smoother.
