HOWTO: Create a custom Move To node

Below is an example of a custom Move To node that runs gameplay-related code to provide movement action for gameplay objects. Default node logic calls virtual AddMovement() method on a target actor.

Warning

If you want to store additional per-instance data for a custom movement node then use C++ script and make your state structure to inherit from BehaviorTreeMoveToNode::State. Otherwise, implement a custom movement node.

• C#
• C++

using FlaxEngine;

/// <summary>
/// Custom move node.
/// </summary>
public class MyMoveToNode : BehaviorTreeMoveToNode
{
    /// <inheritdoc />
    public override void GetAgentSize(Actor agent, out float outRadius, out float outHeight)
    {
        // Here you can provide custom size of the agent (radius and height) or use default values queried from actor type
        base.GetAgentSize(agent, out outRadius, out outHeight);
    }

    /// <inheritdoc />
    public override NavMeshRuntime GetNavMesh(Actor agent)
    {
        // Here you can override navmesh to be used for the given agent
        return base.GetNavMesh(agent);
    }

    /// <inheritdoc />
    public override bool Move(Actor agent, Vector3 move)
    {
        // Here you can perform custom movement logic (eg. via entity interface or similar)
        // It's always called on a main-thread during game Update so here you safely can modify state of the game
        // Return true if cannot apply move (node will fail)
        return base.Move(agent, move);
    }
