Description
-----------

This is a wrapper for the :ref:`AStar<class_AStar>` class which uses 2D vectors instead of 3D vectors.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_AStar2D_method_add_point:

- void **add_point** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id, :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` position, :ref:`float<class_float>` weight_scale=1.0 **)**

Adds a new point at the given position with the given identifier. The algorithm prefers points with lower ``weight_scale`` to form a path. The ``id`` must be 0 or larger, and the ``weight_scale`` must be 1 or larger.

::

    var astar = AStar2D.new()
    astar.add_point(1, Vector2(1, 0), 4) # Adds the point (1, 0) with weight_scale 4 and id 1

If there already exists a point for the given ``id``, its position and weight scale are updated to the given values.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_are_points_connected:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **are_points_connected** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id, :ref:`int<class_int>` to_id **)** const

Returns whether there is a connection/segment between the given points.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_clear:

- void **clear** **(** **)**

Clears all the points and segments.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_connect_points:

- void **connect_points** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id, :ref:`int<class_int>` to_id, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` bidirectional=true **)**

Creates a segment between the given points. If ``bidirectional`` is ``false``, only movement from ``id`` to ``to_id`` is allowed, not the reverse direction.

::

    var astar = AStar2D.new()
    astar.add_point(1, Vector2(1, 1))
    astar.add_point(2, Vector2(0, 5))
    astar.connect_points(1, 2, false)

.. _class_AStar2D_method_disconnect_points:

- void **disconnect_points** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id, :ref:`int<class_int>` to_id **)**

Deletes the segment between the given points.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_get_available_point_id:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_available_point_id** **(** **)** const

Returns the next available point ID with no point associated to it.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_get_closest_point:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_closest_point** **(** :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` to_position **)** const

Returns the ID of the closest point to ``to_position``. Returns -1 if there are no points in the points pool.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_get_closest_position_in_segment:

- :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` **get_closest_position_in_segment** **(** :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` to_position **)** const

Returns the closest position to ``to_position`` that resides inside a segment between two connected points.

::

    var astar = AStar2D.new()
    astar.add_point(1, Vector2(0, 0))
    astar.add_point(2, Vector2(0, 5))
    astar.connect_points(1, 2)
    var res = astar.get_closest_position_in_segment(Vector2(3, 3)) # Returns (0, 3)

The result is in the segment that goes from ``y = 0`` to ``y = 5``. It's the closest position in the segment to the given point.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_get_id_path:

- :ref:`PoolIntArray<class_PoolIntArray>` **get_id_path** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` from_id, :ref:`int<class_int>` to_id **)**

Returns an array with the IDs of the points that form the path found by AStar2D between the given points. The array is ordered from the starting point to the ending point of the path.

::

    var astar = AStar2D.new()
    astar.add_point(1, Vector2(0, 0))
    astar.add_point(2, Vector2(0, 1), 1) # Default weight is 1
    astar.add_point(3, Vector2(1, 1))
    astar.add_point(4, Vector2(2, 0))
    
    astar.connect_points(1, 2, false)
    astar.connect_points(2, 3, false)
    astar.connect_points(4, 3, false)
    astar.connect_points(1, 4, false)
    
    var res = astar.get_id_path(1, 3) # Returns [1, 2, 3]

If you change the 2nd point's weight to 3, then the result will be ``[1, 4, 3]`` instead, because now even though the distance is longer, it's "easier" to get through point 4 than through point 2.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_get_point_connections:

- :ref:`PoolIntArray<class_PoolIntArray>` **get_point_connections** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id **)**

Returns an array with the IDs of the points that form the connection with the given point.

::

    var astar = AStar2D.new()
    astar.add_point(1, Vector2(0, 0))
    astar.add_point(2, Vector2(0, 1))
    astar.add_point(3, Vector2(1, 1))
    astar.add_point(4, Vector2(2, 0))
    
    astar.connect_points(1, 2, true)
    astar.connect_points(1, 3, true)
    
    var neighbors = astar.get_point_connections(1) # Returns [2, 3]

.. _class_AStar2D_method_get_point_path:

- :ref:`PoolVector2Array<class_PoolVector2Array>` **get_point_path** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` from_id, :ref:`int<class_int>` to_id **)**

Returns an array with the points that are in the path found by AStar2D between the given points. The array is ordered from the starting point to the ending point of the path.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_get_point_position:

- :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` **get_point_position** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id **)** const

Returns the position of the point associated with the given ``id``.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_get_point_weight_scale:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_point_weight_scale** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id **)** const

Returns the weight scale of the point associated with the given ``id``.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_get_points:

- :ref:`Array<class_Array>` **get_points** **(** **)**

Returns an array of all points.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_has_point:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **has_point** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id **)** const

Returns whether a point associated with the given ``id`` exists.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_is_point_disabled:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_point_disabled** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id **)** const

Returns whether a point is disabled or not for pathfinding. By default, all points are enabled.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_remove_point:

- void **remove_point** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id **)**

Removes the point associated with the given ``id`` from the points pool.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_set_point_disabled:

- void **set_point_disabled** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` disabled=true **)**

Disables or enables the specified point for pathfinding. Useful for making a temporary obstacle.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_set_point_position:

- void **set_point_position** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id, :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` position **)**

Sets the ``position`` for the point with the given ``id``.

.. _class_AStar2D_method_set_point_weight_scale:

- void **set_point_weight_scale** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id, :ref:`float<class_float>` weight_scale **)**

Sets the ``weight_scale`` for the point with the given ``id``.
