Question Move to closest waypoint

Hey guys,

Do anyone of you have a good solution for finding "closest waypoint" ? I don't want it to be a predetermined path or a random path. But whenever I try to do it, it works for about 2 or 3 waypoints, and they start moving like they're stupid. I decided to scrap my crap script yesterday and look for help. I've got health, and all that going. Just want them all to move from a single waypoint script basically.

• Every red circle is spawning a squad and i want them to start moving on the lane their spawnpoint is on.

Your title and description dont really match. To get the closest waypoint, have a list of all waypoints you did not yet visit, and all you did visit, then get the closest from the unvisited list, go there, and move it to the visited list. Repeat.

However since you wrote you want the objects sparning in the red circles to only move on their lanes (which i assume is the green lines between the squares), you could just send a raycast from the object down the lanes (in all viable directions) and go to where the hit.distance is smallest. This only works under the assumption that you cannot miss an object on a lane.

 

Try NavMesh or Raycast

 

Cheers, now I know where to look

oh, I didnt intend on having a misleading title.

thanks anyway!
