Unigine.PathRoute Class
This class calculates the shortest 2D or 3D route around the obstacles within connected navigation areas and sets the size and velocity of the point moving along this route.
- In case of 2D route, a point moves in the lower plane of the navigation area. The Z coordinate is not taken into account when calculating the 2D route. The height and radius values set for the point via the setHeight() and setRadius() functions are used to check whether the navigation area can take part in pathfinding: if the height or radius set for the point is greater than the size of the navigation area, such navigation area will be discarded. If the height difference between the connected areas exceeds the maximum height, the navigation area is also discarded from calculations.
- In case of 3D route (available only for navigation sectors), a point moves in 3 dimensions. The radius set for the point via the setRadius() function is used to check whether the navigation sector can take part in pathfinding: if the radius set for the point is greater than the size of the navigation sector, it will be discarded. Also the point cannot rise up higher than the maximum height set for the navigation sector.
Functions of the PathRoute class enable to ignore the specified navigation areas and obstacles. Also the maximum time acceptable to get to the destination point and the maximum danger factor can be limited as well.
Notice
To choose between navigation areas, A* algorithm is used.
Warning
- There is no connection between functions of the PathRoute class and functions of the Path class.
- 3D navigation feature is experimental and not recommended for production use.

PathRoute Class
Properties
float Velocity#
The current velocity of the point moving along the route.
float Radius#
The current radius that is required to move the point along the route inside the navigation area.
int ObstacleMask#
The current obstacle mask. the obstacle is taken into account if its obstacle mask matches the obstacle mask of the route.
int NumPoints#
The number of turning points along the route.
int NavigationMask#
The current navigation mask. the navigation mask of the navigation area must match the navigation mask of the route that is calculated within it. Otherwise, the area will not participate in pathfinding.
float MaxTime#
The current maximum time for reaching the destination point. if the route takes longer, the point will not move along it.
float MaxHeight#
The current maximum height difference between the connected navigation areas acceptable when finding the 2d route. in case of the 3d route, it is the maximum height the point can move up to.
float MaxDangerous#
The maximum danger factor acceptable for moving along this route. if the navigation areas have a higher danger factor, the point will not move along it.
float MaxAngle#
The Cosine of the maximum possible angle between navigation mesh polygons. for example, this option enables to exclude walls when calculating a valid route.
float Height#
The current height that is required to move the point along the 2d route inside the navigation area.
bool IsReady#
The A value indicating that a route is calculated.
bool IsReached#
The A value indicating that a destination point of the route is reached.
bool IsQueued#
The A value indicating that a route is queued to be calculated.
float Time#
The time that is required for the point to move along the route.
float Distance#
The length of the route.
float Dangerous#
The highest danger factor of the navigation areas met along the route.
