Hi, I’m making a tactical rpg based on Divinity Orginal Sin 2 and to move the character I use Unity’s pathfinding, but I’d like the player to see which path the character will take before moving. I attach an image of what it looks like in Civ 5 (It’s not a tactical rpg but it works the same way). I have already tried to do it with the “render line” component but it was not working well. Thank you in advance for your help.
I know you said you already tried the render line component, but that really seems to be the best way and I would try that a little more before giving up; I found a link that looks very straightforward for you to create a script with and attach to whatever you are trying to draw the path for:
I have edited the above code, add this code to a new script you would create for your object and you can even plug in each one through the inspector:
public class Example: MonoBehaviour
{
public LineRenderer line; //to hold the line Renderer
public Transform target; //to hold the transform of the target
public NavMeshAgent agent; //to hold the agent of this gameObject
public void GetPath()
{
line.SetPosition(0, transform.position); //set the line's origin
agent.SetDestination(target.position); //create the path
yield WaitForEndOfFrame(); //wait for the path to generate
DrawPath(agent.path);
agent.Stop();//add this if you don't want to move the agent
}
public void DrawPath(NavMeshPath path)
{
if(path.corners.Length < 2) //if the path has 1 or no corners, there is no need
return;
line.SetVertexCount(path.corners.Length); //set the array of positions to the amount of corners
for(int i = 1; i < path.corners.Length; i++){
line.SetPosition(i, path.corners*); //go through each corner and set that to the line renderer's position*
