Sparse Voxel Octree navigation plugin for UnrealEngine
Based on "3D Flight Navigation Using Sparse Voxel Octrees" by Daniel Brewer in Game AI Pro 3.
and his related GDC talk :
GDC Vault - Getting Off The Navmesh
Status : Alpha
Engine Version : 4.19
Todo List :
- Baking of navigation data
- Add a separate BTTask and Action so you don't have to override MoveTo
Plugin is mostly working, just some edge cases where pathfinding can go wrong at the moment. Simple instructions :
- Install the plugin
- Create a new AIController from SVONAIController
- Add an SVONVolume to your scene
- Adjust the SVONVolume properties, enable some debug viz and click 'Generate' to check it
- On play, the SVONVolume will generate the octree (so you will get a pause with a large number of layers)
- Use the SVONAIController MoveTo (through BT if you want) to pathfind and follow the 3D path
