Seems like programming AI will be really easy for me I will buy the full version for sure when it's out. One thing I'd still like to know, how is the PF_REACHED_TARGET decided? Does the entity have to be on the exact same x,y,z position or is there a range? Ik geloof jeji hebt de text die er bij ligt toch niet gelezen... Daar staat dit precis in geschreven.

I had mentioned before that I was stuck on a few coding issues. Luckily, I'm making headway again!! I'll hopefully continue with the project as planned! @Excessus - I'm in the process of mixing some very nice A* pathfinding into the .dll. This means that it will be possible for your characters to use node base pathfinding for 90% of their movement, then switch to more complicated pathfinding once their path is blocked. I've been working on this for quite some time, and it's nearing completion. It's beautiful too!!! I'll post updates when I have 'em! I expect a big update within a week. - Bret

Beside it works really great and fast, there is still left one wish. Under some circumstances calling pf_to_ent(...) results in no path. Could you feed us with a flag like _PF_SUCCESS or somthimg like this. It would be helpfull for coding an AI around your pathfinding code. best regards, Snake67 Projects, Tutorials

It should return '1' if there's a path and '0' if there isn't. Let me know if that doesn't work for you! I'm moving slowly but surely on this project. I'm happy to hear that people like it!! - Bret

I have some other bugs with the A* portion that I really want to clobber first, but rest assured, I'll attempt to address this issue. It could be a while before the next update, and in the meantime if you can work around it, I would suggest it! Thanks! - Bret
