BArtisan.Thrusters.Paths Namespace Reference

Detailed Description

Path thrusters are a special kind of "engines", they only allow a game object to move across a path. The direction of Actor (affected GO) is decided by the next Node in the current path.

It was built for simple scenarios, in cases when you do not want the Actor to be influenced by any factor (like collisions, physics) and the path can be predefined or dynamically created.

The functionality is similar with the DoTween paths components but simpler. The paths can be dynamic (created on the fly or the Nodes can move).

A path can be seen as a Singly Linked List, that can be circular or not.

The most common implementations are:

• traps or patroling enemies
• physics puzzle games with predefined paths

Classes
class	BThrusterPathActor
	The components represents the GO that will move trough a path of Nodes. More...
class	BThrusterPathNode
	A single point that can be targeted by an Actor, and which reference a nextNode. More...
class	Transition
	Encapsulate data required by an Actor which travels trough a segment of a path. Each time a segment is started (to transverse) a new instance is generated. More...

Enumeration Type Documentation

ValueAdditionType

enum BArtisan.Thrusters.Paths.ValueAdditionType

strong

A set of rule that dictates how does a raw value (eg: a number) should a affect another property (like position).

Considering the value O (is the original property) and the new factor value is X:

Enumerator
DoNothing	Do not modify the original value. O remaines unmodified and X ignored.
InheritFromMe	The property is overwritten with this GO value (eg: rotation, position) O is updated and X is ignored.
ValueRelative	The property is modified with X. The value X is added to the value of O (sum).
ValueAbsolute	The property is overwritten. Os new value is X.
