enum **PathfindingAlgorithm**: :ref:`🔗<enum_NavigationPathQueryParameters2D_PathfindingAlgorithm>`

.. _class_NavigationPathQueryParameters2D_constant_PATHFINDING_ALGORITHM_ASTAR:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`PathfindingAlgorithm<enum_NavigationPathQueryParameters2D_PathfindingAlgorithm>` **PATHFINDING_ALGORITHM_ASTAR** = ``0``

The path query uses the default A\* pathfinding algorithm.

.. _enum_NavigationPathQueryParameters2D_PathPostProcessing:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration

enum **PathPostProcessing**: :ref:`🔗<enum_NavigationPathQueryParameters2D_PathPostProcessing>`

.. _class_NavigationPathQueryParameters2D_constant_PATH_POSTPROCESSING_CORRIDORFUNNEL:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`PathPostProcessing<enum_NavigationPathQueryParameters2D_PathPostProcessing>` **PATH_POSTPROCESSING_CORRIDORFUNNEL** = ``0``

Applies a funnel algorithm to the raw path corridor found by the pathfinding algorithm. This will result in the shortest path possible inside the path corridor. This postprocessing very much depends on the navigation mesh polygon layout and the created corridor. Especially tile- or gridbased layouts can face artificial corners with diagonal movement due to a jagged path corridor imposed by the cell shapes.

.. _class_NavigationPathQueryParameters2D_constant_PATH_POSTPROCESSING_EDGECENTERED:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`PathPostProcessing<enum_NavigationPathQueryParameters2D_PathPostProcessing>` **PATH_POSTPROCESSING_EDGECENTERED** = ``1``

Centers every path position in the middle of the traveled navigation mesh polygon edge. This creates better paths for tile- or gridbased layouts that restrict the movement to the cells center.

.. _class_NavigationPathQueryParameters2D_constant_PATH_POSTPROCESSING_NONE:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`PathPostProcessing<enum_NavigationPathQueryParameters2D_PathPostProcessing>` **PATH_POSTPROCESSING_NONE** = ``2``

Applies no postprocessing and returns the raw path corridor as found by the pathfinding algorithm.

- :ref:`Array<class_Array>`\[:ref:`RID<class_RID>`\] **get_excluded_regions**\ (\ )

The list of region :ref:`RID<class_RID>`\ s that will be excluded from the path query. Use :ref:`NavigationRegion2D.get_rid()<class_NavigationRegion2D_method_get_rid>` to get the :ref:`RID<class_RID>` associated with a :ref:`NavigationRegion2D<class_NavigationRegion2D>` node.

\ **Note:** The returned array is copied and any changes to it will not update the original property value. To update the value you need to modify the returned array, and then set it to the property again.

If left empty all regions are included. If a region ends up being both included and excluded at the same time it will be excluded.

\ **Note:** The returned array is copied and any changes to it will not update the original property value. To update the value you need to modify the returned array, and then set it to the property again.

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_simplify_path**\ (\ value\: :ref:`bool<class_bool>`\ )
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **get_simplify_path**\ (\ )

If ``true`` a simplified version of the path will be returned with less critical path points removed. The simplification amount is controlled by :ref:`simplify_epsilon<class_NavigationPathQueryParameters2D_property_simplify_epsilon>`. The simplification uses a variant of Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm for curve point decimation.

Path simplification can be helpful to mitigate various path following issues that can arise with certain agent types and script behaviors. E.g. "steering" agents or avoidance in "open fields".
