AI Pathfinder Improvement (DEV BRANCH AVAILABLE!)

The AI Pathfinder Improvement dramatically enhances AI navigation for both infantry and vehicles in Arma 3. Squads and vehicles calculate and follow an optimized route using Arma’s built-in pathfinder, intelligently avoiding terrain obstacles, cliffs, interior doorways, and automatically rerouting if they get stuck.

• Infantry & Vehicle Support
Automatically distinguishes between dismounted units and vehicles.
- Infantry will avoid steep drops, rough ground, and use interior shortcuts (buildings).
- Vehicles favour roads, dynamically detect blockages, and swing clear of barriers.

• Fully Automated & No Modules Required

• Dynamic Path Recalculation (Experimental)
- a 5 second “stuck check” is in place if a unit hasn’t moved far or its waypoint loop stalls, their routes are recalculated with per-unit recalculation on-the-fly (e.g. mid-mission re-route) with zero player intervention.

• Interior Routing (Experimental)
This aims to give the AI pathfinding using buildings and runs a lightweight search for the best room-to-room path.

• Vertical-Drop Safety (Experimental)
This aims so that Waypoints leading over ledges or cliffs should automatically filtered out to prevent fatal falls.
(Caution: may cause AI in vehicles to have trouble crossing bridges with water over them upon testing)
