Pathfinding between points along avtive object? trail (Mario World map)

Hi Ratty, I think your are referring to the Active objects movement Path in the actives properties menu. Select Path for Type, then Edit movement to add point nodes. You can add and name each node (right click over selected node) as needed, and change speed, and set conditions for each named node etc.

Edit: I don't see an example for the path movement. It is fairly simple
Edit 2: oh, You can also goto node by name

If you're not looking for the built-in path movement - Schrodinger wrote an example for me years ago of moving an object from a placed active object to the next placed active object. Have a look at this thread if it's what you're looking for:

To be honest, I just used old kik n’ play legacy paths. You draw a bunch (in my case it was dozens, for SMW it might be a hundred) paths and just use events to run different paths depending on where you are and where you’re going. It’s crude but it works and it’s rock solid as far as I’ve experienced.

PS: don’t reorder the paths if you have it wired up already, fusion doesn’t update the events to match the new order (as it references paths internally by number) so you’ll have to do it manually.

I recently decided I wanted that type of Super Mario overworld movement so I tried using the goto node action. There seems to be a bug hiding somewhere because after walking back and forth between these nodes a couple of times the movement halts at a random nodes in between. Check this out:

If it can help...

Hi Vilhjalmr, it'll advance to the next node and stop if you click while in movement, or just double click at start.

I added another condition
Active has reached the end of its path > active Stop

Now it continues on to the end. Hope this helped

Yes twister, it seems to work fine now. Strange how it worked like a charm with single clicks like 4-5 times before it started halting at random nodes.. Anyway, thanks!

Actually, on closer inspection I still have the same problem. When adding more nodes the object still halts at different nodes than intended. Can this be overcome by storing node names in alterable strings and force movement somehow? I've tried a lot of different things.

Hi, add another condition in line 2; Active is stopped, under User clicks..... That way the active must be stopped before a click will trigger a move.
