Detailed Description
LPAPathFinder is an implementation of the Lifelong Planning A* algorithm described in this research: http://idm-lab.org/project-a.html.
LPA* supports dynamic updates of the path at minimum additional pathfinding cost. This works because localized path information is stored at each node. The update algorithm supports propagating changes only to the extent that they impact past searches.

Compute the path from the start to the end node. Normally this will be called as part of ConstructPath. However, this may be called manually to recompute the path if one or more nodes have been updated by UpdateState.
- Parameters:
-
| maxIterations | maxIterations defines how many loops can be processed before quitting for this frame |
- Returns:
- true if processing completed, false if there is more work to be done next frame

ConstructPath performs a new pathfinding search from startNodeIndex to goalNodeIndex.
- Parameters:
-
| startNodeIndex | path graph node to start from |
| goalNodeIndex | path graph node to end at |
| cost | out variable with final path cost |
- Returns:
- An ordered list of path node indices defining the path

ConstructPath performs a new pathfinding search from startNodeIndex to goalNodeIndex.
- Parameters:
-
| startNodeIndex | path graph node to start from |
| goalNodeIndex | path graph node to end at |
| maxIterationsThisTurn | how many compute passes can be performed this frame, at most |
| newSearch | if true, initialize and restart pathfinding |
| cost | out variable with final path cost |
| done | value set to true if pathfinding completed work this frame. set to false if more work should be done |
- Returns:
- An ordered list of path node indices defining the path
| List<int> RAIN.Path.LPAPathFinder.PathNodesIndices |
( |
out float |
cost | ) |
|
Returns the found path as an ordered list of path graph node indices.
- Parameters:
-
| cost | an out parameter with the total path cost |
- Returns:
- An ordered list of path graph node indices
| string RAIN.Path.LPAPathFinder.PathString |
( |
| ) |
|
Returns a string representing the path graph indices in order.
- Returns:
- a string representation of the path
