This addon is help me make silly robots. 24 glimbo's gold out of 10.

ByakuyaKuchiki 22 Apr, 2023 @ 1:29am

ah, I didn't have the library

sv: Expression 2 (generic): addons/wire-master/lua/entities/gmod_wire_expression2/core/extloader.lua:387: attempt to index field 'pather' (a nil value)

iNVERTED [author] 9 Apr, 2023 @ 9:03pm

The old system would result in incomplete, possibly incorrect paths if it couldn't find it within a hard limit of checks. With this system, you can run the navPathStepSimple() multiple times to continue an unfinished pathfind and be guaranteed a valid path if the target isn't in an impossible location.

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 7:43pm

i feel like you should add back the canPathGenerate() function and add a convar for how long between generations

iNVERTED [author] 9 Apr, 2023 @ 7:21pm

While a pather is going, navPathAreasChecked() returns how many areas it has checked, and navTotalAreas() returns how many areas the map in all has. It's not possible to know exactly how much is left, only able to estimate it.

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 7:21pm

i have a custom core that i have made as well, just to make the player move

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 7:21pm

is it ok if i send an image of my code to you?

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 7:17pm

also what if i want to return the current progress the step function has made even if the path isnt fully generated?

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 7:16pm

yea

iNVERTED [author] 9 Apr, 2023 @ 7:14pm

Minor correction, it would actually return "Complete" not "Success"

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 7:13pm

i completely forgot about the string return in the step function

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 7:13pm

you know what you're probably right.

iNVERTED [author] 9 Apr, 2023 @ 7:09pm

If navPathStepSimple() doesn't return "Success" then navReturnPathSimple() will fail

iNVERTED [author] 9 Apr, 2023 @ 7:08pm

About the navReturnPathSimple() had the path finished before it was used?

iNVERTED [author] 9 Apr, 2023 @ 7:07pm

Don't know how the core was completely missing, but should hopefully be fixed now

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 6:44pm

by you i mean my "bot"

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 6:43pm

the path generation doesn't reach the destination, it gets stuck nearby or, on gm_construct, on top of the main building, you just keep walking off the edge and going back to the destination over and over

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 6:28pm

but it lags a lot due to a big path being generated when far away.

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 6:13pm

i just fixed the problem by setting the max steps to 10000 and using navPathStepSimple(10000)

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 6:12pm

ok i just figured out that if the path tries to generate more steps than navPathStepSimple() it errors.

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 6:04pm

it only happens when i use navReturnPathSimple()

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 6:04pm

attempt to index nil value

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 6:03pm

error on line 417

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 6:01pm

but it has the same issues i had before

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 5:56pm

the github version works

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 5:54pm

im gonna try using the github version

Mikey 9 Apr, 2023 @ 5:35pm

the mod is not working, the commands arent showing and the extension isn't being loaded.

iNVERTED [author] 9 Apr, 2023 @ 2:46pm

Rereworked the Pathfinders Library, which should solve various issues with this one.

Bear 3 Mar, 2023 @ 11:14am

Can you make E2 Shield?

Mikey 23 Feb, 2023 @ 8:22pm

and the navPathStepSimple function is just returning "Reached Goal"

Mikey 23 Feb, 2023 @ 8:20pm

so whenever you get too far away from the start of the path generation or go behind a wall or two it errors with "entities/gmod_wire_expression2/core/custom/navcorereworked.lua:347: attempt to index a nil value"

iNVERTED [author] 28 Dec, 2022 @ 5:17pm

Changes have been made

StrawWagen 27 Dec, 2022 @ 9:35pm

ooo

iNVERTED [author] 27 Dec, 2022 @ 9:09pm

I've convinced myself to work on this addon again. I've created a new pathfinding base that will allow for splitting up the progress on pathfinding. I've also improved optimization on pathfinding quite a bit, allowing more path generation at once. Changes will be applied fairly soon.

Konstak 8 Nov, 2022 @ 1:01pm

May we have an actual tutorial on how to use this? Like a youtube tutorial or something. i have 0 clue how to even use this even after checking everything. there's no proper tutorial on what to do or how to make something with it and i haven't seen anyone explaining this on yt.

iNVERTED [author] 8 Aug, 2022 @ 5:20pm

I think I may have an idea on how to accomplish that

StrawWagen 1 Aug, 2022 @ 12:46pm

You think it might be possible to split the pathfinding up between frames?
Allows for longer paths without nuking the session

crazygamerguy10 1 Jul, 2022 @ 1:21pm

maybe my code is just unoptimized.

crazygamerguy10 1 Jul, 2022 @ 1:20pm

hmm

iNVERTED [author] 1 Jul, 2022 @ 12:45pm

I'm not getting any tick quotas on gm_boreas with the E2s I've been testing with

crazygamerguy10 30 Jun, 2022 @ 4:17pm

rn im on gm_boreas

crazygamerguy10 30 Jun, 2022 @ 4:17pm

so for whatever reason when i'm on a big map it just tick quotas even when i turn the area check limit really low

crazygamerguy10 28 Jun, 2022 @ 2:01pm

The "navSetFollowerSize()" is a game changer, the other Navcore would generate points right up against walls if i was around a corner but now my simfphys taxi doesn't get stuck on walls

crazygamerguy10 28 Jun, 2022 @ 1:57pm

thanks

crazygamerguy10 28 Jun, 2022 @ 1:57pm

yea the old navcore wasn't like that so i was confused for a bit until i realized after using the array's count

iNVERTED [author] 28 Jun, 2022 @ 1:57pm

The array should return in the proper order now

iNVERTED [author] 28 Jun, 2022 @ 1:44pm

With how A* works, it reconstructs the path from the goal back to the start. I could make it reverse the array before returning.

crazygamerguy10 28 Jun, 2022 @ 1:32pm

im not sure if thats how its supposed to be or not

crazygamerguy10 28 Jun, 2022 @ 1:32pm

so i just found out that the array is flipped, so the last vector in the array is the next point for the follower
