Flex Path refines AI navigation by smoothing paths generated during gameplay. It processes default navigation paths using algorithms like Catmull-Rom interpolation, reducing sharp turns and creating more natural movement. With adjustable parameters for curve sharpness and path simplification, it offers flexible control to suit various navigation needs.
Features:
- Smooth Path Generation: Generates refined and natural navigation paths using Catmull-Rom interpolation, enhancing movement fluidity.
- Path Simplification: Dynamically reduces path complexity using a customizable tolerance value, minimizing artifacts and ensuring smoother results when applying Catmull-Rom interpolation. Achieves a balance between performance and visual accuracy.
- Adjustable Curve Sharpness: Fine-tune curve sharpness to create smoother or sharper directional changes tailored to your needs.
- Customizable Path Subdivisions: Define subdivisions per segment and adjust segment density for precise path adjustments.
- Real-Time NavMesh Validation: Ensures AI agents remain on the NavMesh, avoiding navigation errors and maintaining path integrity.
- Smooth Character Rotation: Adds fluid and realistic rotation to characters as they follow paths.
- Enhanced Debugging Tools: Visualize smoothed and original paths with customizable debug colors for easier troubleshooting.
- Compatible with Navigation Systems: Seamlessly integrates with Unreal Engine's NavMesh for accurate navigation in complex environments.
- Flexible Blueprint Integration: Full support for Blueprints, empowering non-programmers to create advanced path systems effortlessly.
