- A* version: 4.2.17 (free)
- Unity version: 2022.3
Has anyone tried to use A* in a Luna Playable Project?
Their documentation is mentioning it supports it, but I get plenty of errors when trying to build it.
Any tips?
What errors are you seeing in the build?
Unfortunately a lot
CS0234
The type or namespace name ‘Ionic’ does not exist in the namespace ‘Pathfinding’ (are you missing an assembly reference?)
using Pathfinding.Ionic.Zip;
File path: …\Assets\Plugins\AstarPathfindingProject\Core\Serialization\JsonSerializer.cs
So removing example script, it leaves me with errors for
Mostly in Serialization, Misc Folder
And one in AstarPath.cs
Ionic
ZipEntry
ZipFile
AutoResetEvent
ManualResetEvent
Char UpperVariant (Utilities GUID)
Some Thread issues (+ThreadPool)
WaitHandle
Physics2D SyncTransforms
Monitor
Hmmm I looked around but I couldn’t find anything on this myself. I’ll have to tag @aron_granberg on this as it seems to do with the architecture of the plugin. Do you see these issues if you just build it for another platform like Windows?
I tried building windows and had no issues.
Gotcha. Thanks for that clarification. We’ll have to see what Aron knows on this 
Thanks for checking!
Hi
Those errors seem to indicate that the AstarPathfindingProject/Plugins/DotNetZip/Pathfinding.Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll file has been excluded from the build for some reason. Can you check it in unity inspector to see if it for some reason is being excluded?
I deleted and readded A* so I was sure nothing is exluded. I even tried Force Include Asset from Luna. But no change.
In that case, it seems like an issue with Playworks, I’m afraid.
Check the build log if it has any hints about why the dll would be excluded.
