Detailed Description

A Rail Pathfinder.

Member Function Documentation

function Rail::_GetTunnelsBridges	(	last_node	,
		cur_node	,
		bridge_dir
	)

Get a list of all bridges and tunnels that can be build from the current tile.

Bridges will only be build starting on non-flat tiles for performance reasons. Tunnels will only be build if no terraforming is needed on both ends.

function Rail::FindPath

(

iterations

)

Try to find the path as indicated with InitializePath with the lowest cost.

Parameters

iterations

After how many iterations it should abort for a moment. This value should either be -1 for infinite, or > 0. Any other value aborts immediatly and will never find a path.

Returns

A route if one was found, or false if the amount of iterations was reached, or null if no path was found. You can call this function over and over as long as it returns false, which is an indication it is not yet done looking for a route.

AyStar::FindPath()

function Rail::InitializePath ( sources  , goals  , ignored_tiles  = []  )

inline

Initialize a path search between sources and goals.

Parameters

sources	The source tiles.
goals	The target tiles.
ignored_tiles	An array of tiles that cannot occur in the final path.
