- Add melonjs-pathfinding folder to your plugins directory and include it on your game page.
- Register it in your game.js:
me.plugin.register(me.pathFinding, "pathFinding", [arguments]); - Call me.pathFinding.postMessage(message) from your entity code.
me.plugin.register(me.pathFinding, "pathFinding", width, height, type, length, location);
Where:
width: the width of the grid
height: the height of the grid
type: type of pathfinding algorithm (default is jumpPointFinder)
length: how many grids to hold, 1 per layer (default is 1)
location: the path of your plugins (default is lib/plugins/pathFinding)
to find a path:
{name: "findPath", data: {initialPosition:{x:0,y:0}, endPosition: {x:4, y:3}, zLevel: 0, offset: 0}}
to set some position in the grid as walkable or not:
{name: "setWalkablePosition",data: [{x: 1, y: 2, z: 3, value: true}]}
to set all nodes in a grid:
{name: "setWalkableNodes", data: [{nodes: {}}]}
to find out if a position in the grid is walkable:
{name: "isWalkableAt", data: [{x:4, y: 4, z: 0}]}
to get all grids:
{name: "getAllGrids"}
Basically, there are two places that you want to change
me.pathFinding.workerListener to handle the response differently. The current behavior simply prints the response.
pathObject.prototype.handleAction to handle the message that is being passed to the worker.
