Have you found a solution to the pathfinding problem you mentioned? I am facing the same issue myself. I bought A* Pathfinding Pro, but the solutions it came with did not work for me. The closest I got to success was when I manually generated nodes based on "ways" data. However, I encountered a problem with map movement - the graph remained stationary whenever I moved the map or zoomed in. Updating the graph in real-time was too expensive in terms of performance. I am wondering if anyone has successfully integrated both assets and can offer some advice.

I see. It sounded like you had used it with this before. I assume it needs to be modified a bit considering how online maps works with coordinates. And it needs to be able to work with dynamic objects since buildings are not stationary in unity world space.

Hi.

Unfortunately, there is no general solution or good practice I can recommend here.

Whether this asset will work - most likely yes.
Whether there will be pitfalls here - also most likely yes.
Whether you can do without buying this asset - also yes.
AStar is a very easy algorithm, many implementations of which you can find on the Internet, for example:

Hey,
I want my AI to navigate around generated buildings and other colliders that acts as obstacles. Right now I'm using a simple raycast avoidance method, but it is not very consistent.

Are there any examples on how to implement pathfinding in online maps? I believe A* pathfinding was mentioned before, is it this one? https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/t … -pro-87744

It's a bit expensive so I want to know if I can make it work before buying it.

Thanks.
