Advanced Path Movement object hanging up..

[haora]

Hi there, I'm back with another problem..

After a lot of trying, I managed to get the my character to follow a path using the Advanced PAth Movement Object... it works great.. most of the times..
You see, sometimes the game just hangs up on me, like it's looking for a path (it allways happens when I'm moving my character) but it can't find anything..

Has this happened to you? Have you fixed it?

Thanks in advance!

Can you please provide an example application where this problem occurs.

Actually the example that comes with the extension has that problem... I tried to recreate the "bug" with a very simple example, but it works fine... I just don't understand what could be the problem...

If you have the example with you, run it, and then start clicking all over the screen, when I do this (normally, when I click on a place the object can't reach) the application hangs up... sometimes it one lasts a few seconds and other times, I have to forcelly close the application because it has stoped responding...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

PS: If you don't have the example with you I can put it up for you... I really need this problem fixed...

I've never used this object in a game, but i remember when i was looking at the object out of interest i had the exact same problem you described with that example. It would either hang for a few seconds, or it would stop responding and i'd have to close it.

Ok, so it's not just me... but does anybody know of a way to solve this problem?

You sould send a PM to Alien about it. He made that extension.

[haora]

Yes I tried to get in touch with him, but he's not answering... maybe he's too busy, I don't know, truth is, I need to solve this problem...
So, my question now is... is there an alternative to using this extension?
I'm doing a Graphical Adventure, and I need a way to make the player walk throug the scene, I need it to go wherever the player clicks...
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

You could try the pathfinding extension. It only supports 8 directions, but its really the only other option.
