⚠️ This crate has been renamed to vleue_navigator. For updates and continued support, change your dependency!

Navigation mesh for Bevy using Polyanya.

Check out the WASM demo

Usage

Loading a mesh from a gLTF file, then building a PathMesh from it and using it for getting paths between random points.

use bevy::{
    gltf::{Gltf, GltfMesh},
    prelude::*,
};

use bevy_pathmesh::{PathMesh, PathMeshPlugin};
use rand::Rng;

fn main() {
    App::new()
        .add_plugins((DefaultPlugins, PathMeshPlugin))
        .add_systems(Startup, load)
        .add_systems(Update, get_path)
        .run()
}

#[derive(Resource)]
struct Handles(Handle<Gltf>, Option<Handle<PathMesh>>);

fn load(mut commands: Commands, asset_server: Res<AssetServer>) {
    commands.insert_resource(Handles(asset_server.load("navmesh.glb"), None));
}

fn get_path(
    mut handles: ResMut<Handles>,
    gltfs: Res<Assets<Gltf>>,
    gltf_meshes: Res<Assets<GltfMesh>>,
    meshes: Res<Assets<Mesh>>,
    mut path_meshes: ResMut<Assets<PathMesh>>,

    if handles.1.is_none() {
        // Get the gltf struct loaded from the file
        let Some(gltf) = gltfs.get(&handles.0) else {
            return
         };
        // Get the mesh called `navmesh`
        let Some(gltf_mesh) = gltf_meshes.get(&gltf.named_meshes["navmesh"]) else {

        handles.1 = Some(path_meshes.add(PathMesh::from_bevy_mesh(mesh)));
    } else {
        // Get the path mesh, then search for a path
        let Some(path_mesh) = path_meshes.get(handles.1.as_ref().unwrap()) else {
            return
        };

        );
        let to = Vec2::new(
            rand::thread_rng().gen_range(-50.0..50.0),
            rand::thread_rng().gen_range(-50.0..50.0),
        );
        if let Some(path) = path_mesh.path(from, to) {
            info!("path from {} to {}: {:?}", from, to, path);
        } else {
            info!("no path between {} and {}", from, to)
        }
