Disabling agents that are not on grid

[Vahe_Petrosyan]

Hi @aron_granberg,
I am using layered grid graph for my mobile game, and I have a small problem. As the game should run on low end mobile devices as well I want to keep the grid size and the number of agents as small as possible. Before I had a larger grid size and used proximity activator for agents. But on old devices like mi8 because the grid was around 200x900, the scene just wouldn’t load. I made the decision to switch to procedural grid mover and make the grid a lot smaller around 100x200. I wanted to know if there is a way to detect if the agent is no longer on the grid and therefore disable it. Currently I am using FollowerEntities that follow the edges of the grid graph as it’s moving, which is expected behavior (as the FollowerEntity should always be on the grid graph) but not quite what I want. I want to just disable them as soon as the grid is no longer under the agents. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Objects move towards graph when outside of it

Hi, I made a player with a grid graph that follows him. I have objects with AIPath that represent animals, and I noticed that when they are outside the graph, they navigate towards it. Is there a way to check whether they are inside the graph, and if not, not to move them?

I know well what happens to you; when it happened to me, I said, ‘Who cares, anyway…’. In a game where you navigate the grid, you can’t have all the AIs active; 10,000 NPCs moving and ‘thinking’ would overwhelm any PC. So, imagine you have the view on your monitor, and let’s say the pathfinding grid is three times as large. In addition to this, you’ll have a Proximity Manager that maintains a list of all your NPCs. If these NPCs are outside the screen, the Manager will deactivate them. When they…

Thanks! Trying to make the moving grid bigger and the proximity area smaller as it’s in your setup.
