All Implemented Interfaces:

IUT2004PathNavigator<PATH_ELEMENT>

public class LoqueNavigator<PATH_ELEMENT extends ILocated>
extends AbstractUT2004PathNavigator<PATH_ELEMENT>

Responsible for navigation to location.

This class navigates the agent along path. Silently handles all casual trouble with preparing next nodes, running along current nodes, switching between nodes at appropriate distances, etc. In other words, give me a destination and a path and you'll be there in no time.

Preparing ahead

Nodes in the path are being prepared ahead, even before they are actually needed. The agent decides ahead, looks at the next nodes while still running to current ones, etc.

Reachability checks

Whenever the agent switches to the next node, reachcheck request is made to the engine. The navigation routine then informs the LoqueRunner beneath about possible troubles along the way.

Movers

This class was originally supposed to contain handy (and fully working) navigation routines, including safe navigation along movers. However, the pogamut platform is not quite ready for movers yet. Especial when it comes to mover frames and correct mover links.

Thus, we rely completely on navigation points. Since the mover navigation points (LiftCenter ones) always travel with the associated mover, we do not try to look for movers at all. We simply compare navigation point location to agent's location and wait or move accordingly.

Future

The bot could check from time to time, whether the target destination he is traveling to is not an empty pickup spot, since the memory is now capable of reporting empty pickups, when they are visible. The only pitfall to this is the way the agent might get trapped between two not-so-far-away items, each of them empty. The more players playe the same map, the bigger is the chance of pickup emptyness. The agent should implement a fadeing memory of which items are empty before this can be put safely into logic.

Method Detail

navigate

protected void navigate(ILocated focus,
                        int pathElementIndex)

Description copied from class: AbstractUT2004PathNavigator

Does the actual navigation of the bot, it should steer it towards path element of the index 'pathElementIndex'. Called (after several checks) from AbstractUT2004PathNavigator#navigate().

Specified by:

navigate in class AbstractUT2004PathNavigator<PATH_ELEMENT extends ILocated>

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from interface: IUT2004PathNavigator

UT2004PathExecutor reports that execution of current path has been terminated - clean up your internal data structure and prepare to navigate the bot along the new path in the future.

newPath

public void newPath(java.util.List<PATH_ELEMENT> path)

Description copied from interface: IUT2004PathNavigator

UT2004PathExecutor reports that new path has been received and the IUT2004PathNavigator#navigate() is about to be called in near future. The new path is passed as a parameter.

initDirectNavigation

Initializes direct navigation to the specified destination.

Parameters:

dest - Destination of the navigation.
