Hey everyone,
I would like to share with you my implementation of A* algorithm for path finding in unreal engine.
I used unreal engine 4.27 version.
I would really appreciate trying the project, and any comment on this project.
I still haven’t implemented any readme for the repo. i will later.
I am thinking about making a feature ( like a skill) for games using this technique (future work).
And thank you.
Found a minor flaw in your code. Loaded up the project and started the level, then ejected the player and started dragging the red ball around until I hit a wall. This triggered a nullptr exception.
Tracking any type of actor that could go passed player restrictive boundaries could be a problem
In pathfinder.cpp I added in a modification to counteract this problem, basically the EndNode would be null triggering a cascade of errors. In the case of it not being viable, I set the EndNode to the StartNode and the path finding resolves correctly once the obstructions are gone.
Added lines 40 => 42
Revised file
Pathfinder.cpp (4.9 KB)
Nice, thank you very much for finding this flaw. I will try to fix it as i didn’t try what you mentioned.
