Improved Pathfinding

Introduction

The default pathfinding used when navigating with the mouse is really bad for maps with lots of twisty passages, and it doesn't properly handle a number of edge cases such as bridges or "pseudo-obstacles" (ie, obstacles that'll go away the moment you interact with them, like a door you can open).

This plugin improves the algorithm and offers a plethora of customization options for the pathfinding. What it does not do, however, is apply any of this to the movement of events. If you need smarter movement for events, you can use script calls to make events use the pathfinding, or find another plugin that's complementary to this one, such as Shaz's Smart Pathfinding.

Features

• Fine-tune the accuracy of the pathfinding to better fit your maps. For example, this can allow pathing to work even in a complex maze as long as a path exists.
  
• Support pathfinding through teleportation events that do not change the map – the pathfinder will recognize that the teleporter is the shortest path and move towards it, though it will stop after passing through.
  
• Pathfinding can be configured avoid various soft obstacles, such as damaging floors, ladders, bush tiles, specific regions or terrain tags, transfer evens that change the map, or even unusual objects represented by custom events. You can specify how hard it tries to avoid these things by customizing the cost of entering each one.
  
• Pathfinding can understand the presence of bridges – tiles that can be walked either over or under, depending on which side you enter from. Supports 3 different common ways of creating bridges – tileset swaps, events, and the OverpassTile plugin.
  
• Pathfinding can be configured to chase the event clicked on as it moves, instead of sending the party to the location the event was on when first clicked.
  
• Pathfinding can be configured to understand one-way passages controlled by events, or passages where one direction is easier than the other.
  
• Events can be configured to not interrupt pathfinding when the player crosses through them. Useful for doors for example.
