Half-Life 2 NPC Movement Part 2: Node Graphs and Moving

[@Tjthemedic]

When this video is out of date, it won't be an issue. It'll just stutter at the start for a few seconds while rebuilding.

[@1thevm1]

Are you meaning to tell me that Node Graph Rebuilding isn't just a stutter generation engine???

[@megacat1384]

as a normal person those videos feel like trying to comprehend an eldrich horror

[@kkiil05]

Ladies and gentlemen, peak has just dropped. What an excellent christmas gift!

[@DelayRGC]

Finally, some real use to all that graph theory and A*!

[@benb9151]

Needed something to watch on our date tonight, thank you Pinsplash

[@guilhermecarvalhotrindade2625]

Thanks for these deep dives. I love these things. Source engine is just full of quirks, showing how battle tested it must have been for the time.

Do a video on Nav Mesh next I wonder how much the gameplay in HL2 would change if we used Nexbots

[@chibisayori20]

i think there is an addon that makes vanilla NPCs use navmesh if the map has it (gmod only), idk if navigation is engine-sided but if it's just sdk-sided it's easy to implement navmesh and make NPCs use it (and thus affect all hl2 npcs already on the map) but you also have to add support for Hints, so NPCs can still use hint nodes if it's found within a nav area as hints tell npcs specific actions the level designer assigned, i.e take cover, act busies

[@Marxon1134]

YES NODEGRAPHS I ACTUALLY UNIRONICALLY REQUIRE THIS INFORMATION! YEEEAAAAAHHHH

[@le.glaconus]

Babe wake up new Pinsplash video just dropped

[@zeitgeistlime]

first video was understandable with some minor confusion, watching this one made my head hurt

[@brwokbrwok]

YEEAAAAHH

[@MuteObserver]

Many thanks- and Merry Christmas!

[@griddori]

you sound like you node a lot about this

[@Marduk401]

I created a very similar system in my game and I've never seen how Valve did it before. that felt weird watching it. what I do differently is that each node has a height and a radius. When placed It automatically expands and tests to see how big of a radius and height it can get before it collides with the world. a node that's under a door frame for example cannot get too big. then each npc can only use that node to find a path only if it's smaller or equal to the node's height and radius. so it creates a graphmap for each npc you have in the map. a big enemy would have to find another path around the doorway to navigate. a small enemy could simply walk right to it.

Why is there a sign of a man sitting on a toilet at the combines shoulder at 8:40?

[@WinterGamesYT]

this inspired me to node my map

[@vibaj16]

Now I want to know how different Source 2 is

[@vxpdx]

16:10 see if you can find it in code that StudioMDL uses when handling `walkframe`

[@WinterGamesYT]

4:10 you could say theyre... comparing nodes

[@amonidark]

joke about holes here
