Intense Pathfinding

Enlarge
Intense Pathfinding is a open source C-script tool that is an easy to use Pathfinding system made by Aris aka "larry laffer" from the 3dgs forums, it uses the Dijkstra Search Algorithm.

Here's a feature list on Intense Ai's Pathfinding:

  • Points Of Visibility Pathfinding (node based)
  • Pure Dijkstra Search Algorithm (fast)
  • 999 Max Nodes per level / 999 Max Pathfinding-Entities per level
  • Three Dimensional (can handle floors, slopes, stairs, rough terrain, etc)
  • String Pulling (no zig zag paths)
  • Runtime Search (handles dynamic enviroments like doors, bridges and demolished walls)
  • Volume Raycasting (Size of entity is considered, making sure the path is wide and tall enough)
  • Gravity RayCasting (Making sure there's ground below the path. See here )
  • Polygon Precise RayCasting (Supports model-only levels and terrains)
  • Graph Generating Tool (automatically link nodes to each other. You just need to place them in the level)
  • Debuging Tools (Visually seeing the Graph and every c_trace made at runtime)
