Grid-Based Movement With Pathfinding Tutorial: Part 3 - Range Finding and Path Display

If you want to see some of my stuff for yourself. Check out these links:



Welcome to part three of my tutorial series on Grid-Based Movement with Pathfinding. This part focuses on creating a range finder and displaying our path to the user before we begin moving.

Hi guys, this one is definitely the loosest tutorial of the three and I hope you get through it ok. Remember I'm available to answer ANY questions you might have. Some of this is pretty heavy and I tried to get through it as fast as possible so maybe it's not explained clearly enough. Let me know.

Thanks for posting these, took me a good amount of time to get through all of them but it really helped me out.

This tutorial was a great help to me when I was new to srpg production. Thank you so much. I will buy the assets.

ABSOLUTELY wonderful tutorial series Lawless. Please do more on the tactics/isometric stuff :)

Thanks for all the tutorial and the materials!!!

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge, this style of game isnt very documented so keep them coming! I wish you a lot of success in your projects.

This channel is so underrated, it's almost criminal. Thank you very much! It helped me a ton with my own personal project!
Subscribed and can't wait for more content! :)

Just found your channel, great 3 part series man. I am not doing a isometric game but it was very fascinating to learn how to do it. Thanks alot for the lesson!

[JayOrs]

Excellent tutorial, man. Super grateful to have a guiding hand to get a jump start on my own project.

[sauloferraz]

Hey mate, love your content. You are so helpful for the community and I really hope you continue the tutorial

28:45 I don't think you ever showed your character moving up the z-axis? Does that actually work with this code? In my opinion the most difficult part about 2D multi-layer isometric is having the character step up and down a layer without clipping and maintaining the draw order

[naomiruokamo]

Just wanted to mention if at 10:45 you run into issues with a missing statement in MouseController change
path = pathfinder.FindPath(character.activeTile, overlayTile); to path = pathfinder.FindPath(character.activeTile, overlayTile, inRangeTiles);
I followed step by step and didn't understand why it was red all of a sudden, guessing this was accidentally edited out but I got it to work :> Also guessing this gets changed further down the line in this video but just in case anyone needs this sorted before moving on to fixing the arrows!

love the content !! underrated channel, waiting for part 3

there is a bug that when click character, the range can not display again
the problem is in private void MoveAlongPath(),
if (path.Count == 0)
{
GetInRangeTiles();
isMoving = false;
}
this can be changed and move to LateUpdate()
if (path.Count > 0 && isMoving)
{
MoveAlongPath();
}
if (path.Count == 0 && character != null)
{
GetInRangeTiles();
isMoving = false;
}

thanks, your tutorial is really helpful for me

Was a fantastic series to follow! I do notice however, that your character is not able to register the water tiles as part of the inRangeTile set, as they are painted probably on -1. Mine are too, yet my character still uses the water tiles as part of its set. How would I go about setting that restriction you think?

[xprmntt]

that is a great one buddy, there isn’t much on the topic. kudos

[Noctarc]

Since you're using A* for your pathfinding, can't you use the G cost of the tiles to determine the movement range of your character?

[vinnaeyshnair]

Amazing tutorial but I just have a question, how do I detect other players in range and remove the highlight for the specific tile occupied by another player
in range
