A* without HS

[Chrno]

Hi,
Well, this thing is causing me an internal error.....

Code:

Hierarchical findpath failure: (34,154) to (45, 156)
Warning. ?A* without HS: (34,154) to (45, 156)
Hierarchical findpath failure: (34,154) to (45, 156)

Although I'm not sure if this is the direct cause of it. The A* without HS's seem to be able to occur without causing an internal error.....although hierarchical findpath failures (whatever these are) seem to always cause the IE. I think that this is caused by something wrong in my coding of a subterranean unit:

Code:

I'm thinking that 1) invalid movement zone, 2)invalid locomotor, or 3)MoveToShroud=no. Perhaps the AI doesn't understand it can't move to shroud? Or does it abide by that rule? Weapons are existant, warheads are existant, projectiles are existant, DigSound is dummy, dig= is specified (although no animation shp exists yet), so I'm out of ideas as to how this happens. This does not happen only on one map, it happens on both Let There Be Fight, and my own custom map (both have water on them). Maybe it's trying to move to water? I haven't tried this on other maps or non-water maps...I don't get any of this....except is attached...
Also, why does YR refuse to open after you run it and close it one time? (if you need debug.txt for that, I can get one...)

[DCoder]

dig= is specified (although no animation shp exists yet)

It's Dig= , and have you tried assigning an existing shp to it?

btw, I have those A* w/o HS in my log regularly, and they never cause IEs, I always assumed it's something with the AI's pathfinding / scripting, since those (34;154) look like cell coords to me. Since it never caused IEs, I never bothered to dig into that.

[~Guest~]

A* is a very common pathfinding algorthim, so your assumption is correct.

[Chrno]

But if it's dig, it should instantly IE my game. When I start my game the test map I'm playing on gives me a bunch of crates, and the subtank is a crategoodie, and so I get it from the crate. I make it dig, it digs fine. But I'll try what you said anyways, thanks for replying. Maybe I should create a map with all clear ground and see what happens....Hm....
