◆ check_if_possible()

bool PathFollow::check_if_possible ( )

This function checks if the current positions of the ai char and the target char can be used to generate an optimal path.

◆ do_follow()

void PathFollow::do_follow ( )

This function allows continuous path finding by ai chars.

There are 2 ways in which this is implemented. 1. The character re-calculates the optimal path everytime the target changes its position. Less computationally expensive. 2. The character continuosly re-calculates its optimal path to the target. This is used in a scenario where the ai chars have to avoid other ai chars. More computationally expensive.
