Partial list of Gamemaker path functions
Path functions are needed as you need to generate a path ID to pass to the
mp_grid_path function. Also you will need to extract details of the path once it
has been generated.
This list omits the functions relating to basic path movement
 | path_add()
This function generates an empty path and returns its ID.
You would typically generate an empty path in the create event of the
instance that will use the path
|
| path_delete(index)
This function disposes of a path to free up the memory used
If you created the empty path in the create event you might delete the
path in the destroy event
|
| path_get_number(index)
This function returns the number of POINTS that make up the path, the
points are numbered from 0 to n-1.
|
| path_get_point_x(index, n) |
| path_get_point_y(index, n)
These functions return the x,y coordinates of a point on the path. If you
want to use the path as a navigation guide rather than a strict path then
you will need to extract the coordinates and feed them into your "A.I.".
|
| path_delete_point(index, n)
This function deletes point n of the path. Note that if you are looping
through the points the numbers of the following points will be moved down by
one after deletion, so if you are looping through the points deleting
unwanted ones then it may be preferable to count down not up. |
