Any news on when local avoidance will be available?

Last I heard RVO local avoidance was pulled out due to some legal issues. Are there any updates on when it’ll be back (or if we’re getting a new system altogether)?

Hi

A new similar algorithm has been included for 1 or 2 years now.
It is not as good as the previous one unfortunately (despite my best attempts to tweak it).

I have also been doing some experiments with cooperative pathfinding: http://arongranberg.com/2015/06/cooperative-pathfinding-experiments/ but I haven’t got anything to release yet.

Oh, neat. Can you please kindly point me to the documentation on that alternative algorithm? I can’t seem to find it! Thanks!

Hi

It uses the same documentation page. The new algorithm has all the same components.
