Hi,

is it possible to scan for the nearest node of a specific path?

For example:

I create two paths in WED, path_000 and path_001.
My entity is moving on path_000, and now I want to scan for the
nearest node of path_001, but path_000 and path_001 are so close that both are in the scan cone.

Best regards,

There is no specific function for that, but you can use path_set to path_001, then get the positions of all nodes with path_getnode, and compare their distances for the nearest node.

Hmm ... could be very slow for paths with a lot of nodes?!?

Would be good if path_scan could scan for a specific path in future versions.

Yes, a specific path_scan command would make sense. But the suggested method is not slow. Under lite-C it is as fast as a specific command.

Ok. I'll check it out.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Pegamode.
