Update actual and destination node on a dungeon crawler

Beginner Questions

Hi,

I work on a dungeon crawler like Eyes of the beholder or Legend of Grimrock more recently.
So I used your free project on a grid graph with 4 connections, no Collision testing, no Height testing and for the target activate the ClosestOnNode option.

What my sript does is :
Calculate the path to the aim
Put the next node location into a variable
Make available my actual node (An other prefab can use it now)
Disable the destination node (Like that no other prefab can go there)
Move to the destination node

When I use my code on one target it is perfect, once it reaches the waypoint it comes back to the initial position, the nodes are updated exactly how it should.

The problem is when I put this code on multiple target, they become crazy and use diagonals, jump to 2 nodes straight, do not go to where they are supposed to, I do not know why.

When you have time could you have a look on this code?

If I disable the node part everything is Ok, I must do something wrong in this part.

Thanks, Cizia

// Enable the start node, disable the destination node and update the var positionNodeArrivee

    // Initialize positionNodeArrivee which is the next node to the destination
    positionNodeArrivee = path.vectorPath[1];

    // Do not change the height
    positionNodeArrivee.y = transform.position.y;

    // Create bounds
    Bounds boundsDepart = new Bounds(transform.position, new Vector3(1, 4, 1));

    GraphUpdateObject guoDepart = new GraphUpdateObject(boundsDepart);
    GraphUpdateObject guoCible = new GraphUpdateObject(boundsCible);
