Smart Pathfinding 8 directions following

[Shiroi Akuma]

I would like to request some diagonal movement ability for this plugin: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/46761-smart-pathfinding/

While the player is able to move in 8 directions, if you want, events sadly always follow just 4 directions, which is a detour for them. Even in move route commands the move towards player function always uses just 4 directions, so a parameter/extra plugin, which would be able to let events even use 8 directions so that they can use shortcuts, would be great.   

Just a suggestion. 

Thanks!

Any plugin that implements diagonal pathfinding will automatically be compatible with that one

I added diagonal pathfinding on my "faster pathfinding" plugin, but then removed it before releasing, because it wasn't good enough. Don't remember what the problem was, but I may look at it again at some point.

Sounds good. Thanks!

This plugin seems to use the default RM MV pathfind check (used for mouse movement), so it would probably work with this: 





EDIT: tested here and it's not totally compatible, but it's not hard to have them both working.


On the end of the plugin replace this:


      if (direction > 0)
      {
        this.moveStraight(direction);
      }


with this:

      if (direction > 0) {
		if (direction % 2 !== 0) {
			this._diagonal = direction;
			this.diagonalMovement(direction);
			if (this.needDiagonalFix()) this.diagonalMovementFix(direction);
		} else {
			this._diagonal = 0;
			this.moveStraight(direction);
		};
      }

Thank you very much, I will try and give feedback (edit this post) if it works  


Yes it works! I owe you. <3
