Hello everyone!

Introducing "ez_path" -- node based pathfinding made easy!! I just finished up the coding and documentation for version .00001. I would love it if people would download it and try it out! Tell me what you think!!

Enjoy!!
www.gamebeep.com/freebies/ez_path_src.zip

Features:

* No need to configure the nodes. They link themselves!
* Initial Documentation included.
* Super simple to integrate. Here's sample code for walking the nodes:

Code:

---

	while(1)
	{
		pf_to_ent(my, dst_ent); // pathfind to target entity...
		my.pan  = my._PF_PAN_TO_TARGET;
		move_mode = IGNORE_YOU + IGNORE_PASSABLE + GLIDE;
		ent_move(vector(time * 4,0,0), nullvector);

		wait(1);
	}

---

Looks very simple and useful!

I'll have to give this a try .

Nicelly done Bret

Yeeeah!! this is what i ever needed!!
thanks alot!!! (gonna test it out today in the afternoon)

Edit: IMO it would be better when you return the position of the next node, insted of setting the pan/tilt/roll values of the entity

yeah, but that's what you did, and you are mk1!
that's not fair

Actually his one's better IMO. Well, it depends on what you want to do with it. My pf is going to be open source soon. I need to implement a few things before and maybe do some opimization.

Could you make anothher version of the DLL that works with A5?

I don't think it's good for a rts. Speed is okay but don't forget that you have a lot of troops out there. I develop my pf for a turnbased strategy game with all its needs (and that is a lot more than rts needs) thus being slower than other pf.
