mist.getPathInSegments
| Added with: Mist 4.5 |
| Description |
| Returns a table of points that divide the passed path in a given number of segments. For example if a path is approximately 100km in length and you pass number of segments of 5, then the function will return 6 points that are approximately 20 km apart from another. |
| Syntax |
| table mist.getPathInSegments(table path , number segments ,boolean exact ) |
| Valid Input Values: |
| {[1] = {x = 2300, y = 234526}, [2] = {x = 2300, y = -2352},[3] = {x = 35235, y = -564156},[4] = {x = 54, y = 48456456}, } |
| Return value: |
| table |
| Return example: |
| Usage Examples: |
The following example uses land.finPathOnroads to get a path that a ground AI group could take between two points.
local rPath = land.findPathOnRoads('roads', spawnPoint.x, spawnPoint.y, roadEnd.x, roadEnd.y)
local segments = mist.getPathInSegments(rPath, 5)
