Visibility graph is a graph of intervisible locations. Normally, videogames use one of two types of grids for those graphs.
Most RTS use A* (A-star), a best-first search, meaning that it is formulated in terms of weighted graphs: starting from a specific starting node of a graph, it aims to find a path to the given goal node having the smallest cost (least distance travelled, shortest time, etc.). Before adding a movement system, we need a pathfinding algorithm, so our units will actually find a path they can follow, and start moving.
A STAR AI SELECTS AN UNWALKABLE NODE TO WALK TO HOW TO
This problem can be treated in different ways, here we’ll talk about some of this methods, what methods did popular games used and apply one of them to our own game engine, so we can start developing a proper RTS videogameīut first, we have to understand how to set up a movement system.
When using a pathfinding algorithm for your troops, like A*, you’ll notice that they will start overlapping against eachother. This differs from any other genre, every unit will need to react to every other unit, in order to move coherently and at the same time follow the players orders. Subject Project 2, under supervision of lecturer Marc Garrigó Group Movement in RTS Intro to the problem In RTS games we’ll be moving a bunch of units across the map.
