I just added a building mechanic to my Godot experiment.

I got stuck on updating the navifation mesh if I use multiple TileMapLayers ...

My solution is to create a custom navigation mesh and rebake it if something has changed. This is properly not the best solution but should be fine for my game idea.

Navmesh, lightmaps и lightprobes: реализация и использование в Playcanvas

В этой небольшой заметке хотелось бы поделиться результатами реализаций нескольких технологий из gamdev-а. В основном коснёмся двух тем. Первая тема - это использование navmesh-ей для нахождения путей в пространстве трёхмерной сцены. Вторая тема - это использование lightmap и lightprob-ов для освещения динамических объектов. По каждой из этих тем обсудим немного теории и то, как всё это можно использовать в браузерном игровом 3d-движке Playcanvas.

Released Oxidized Navigation 0.5.

Get your runtime nav-mesh fix, now slightly more ergonomic! (but only slightly!)

#bevyengine #rustlang #rust #gamedev #navmesh #pathfinding

oxidized_navigation 0.2 is out.
#gamedev #rustlang #bevyengine #navmesh

Get it on crates or github:

Most important additions are area types allowing you to define the cost of crossing certain paths (for example taking roads might be considered more favorable even though it's longer).

And here's a clip using it in my personal project:

I was sharing some #GameDev tips on #optimization of #NavigationInvoker for runtime #NavMesh generation in #UnrealEngine and one of the more experienced engineers in Unreal Slackers kinda poo pooed it because it's always going to be less optimal than a fully pregenerated navmesh with streaming. Like, yeah, I get that. Water is wet. But they dodged all my questions about whether there weren't any use cases for runtime generation with invokers... I'd honestly prefer ditching invokers if I can, but I felt good sharing advice about a niche technical challenge that took a lot of work to learn the details of and feel shot down as if it has no value to anyone. :(
