Will nodeCanvas work in Unity 2D? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Yes, NodeCanvas works fine with Unity2D and there are even actions/conditions included related to Unity2D.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks

I am really enjoying nodeCanvas! I need help with a navmesh for 2D. I cannot get the AI sprites to moveTowards or findTarget.

Hello,

Thanks! Unfortunately, Unity’s native NavMesh system does not support 2D games. There is nothing I can really do to make the native NavMesh work with 2D games cause it’s totaly up to Unity’s implementation. You will probably need to get a plugin for 2D pathfinding from the asset store for that, like for example PolyNav: http://u3d.as/6n3 which is also supported by NodeCanvas. (sorry for the shameless promotion :))

Once again, it’s simply a restriction of Unity, unless I misunderstood the question completely.

Let me know,
Thanks!

I figured that was going to be the solution. NavMesh 2D has depreciated. I will definitely check out the asset. Thank you for the support. I think a string/discussion about 2D might help someone in the community. I find nodeCanvas extremely useful in my game design and structure. I have been developing in Unity for three years and I feel like since I have been using nodeCanvas, my game structure is much more professional and fine tuned.Kudos. I am learning more and more everyday in the manual.

I did purchase the PolyNav asset. It works as expected, and better. This has really opened up many options for my design. I truly believe that any serious developer can benefit from the prototyping and getting right on the first or second try. Kudos!

Hello,
Is there a way to flip( or face direction) the sprite or Poly Nav Agent to look at object Player? Thank You.

Hello,

Here is a script to do that. I’ve added more cases so you can do extra stuff when the direction change. Just add it on your sprite gameobject and set the PolyNavAgent reference.

using UnityEngine;

using System.Collections;

public class Flipper : MonoBehaviour {

public PolyNavAgent agent;

private Vector2 lastDir;

private float originalScaleX;

void Awake(){

originalScaleX = transform.localScale.x;

}

void Update() {

var dir = agent.movingDirection;

var x = Mathf.Round(dir.x);

var y = Mathf.Round(dir.y);

y = Mathf.Abs(y) == Mathf.Abs(x)? 0 : y;

dir = new Vector2(x, y);

if (dir != lastDir){

if (dir == Vector2.zero){

Debug.Log("IDLE");

}

if (dir.x == 1){

Debug.Log("RIGHT");

var scale = transform.localScale;

scale.x = originalScaleX;

transform.localScale = scale;

}

if (dir.x == -1){

Debug.Log("LEFT");

var scale = transform.localScale;

scale.x = -originalScaleX;

transform.localScale = scale;

}

if (dir.y == 1){

Debug.Log("UP");

}

if (dir.y == -1){

Debug.Log("DOWN");

}

lastDir = dir;

}

Let me know if this works for you.
Cheers!

Yes, this code did the trick, very cleanly. Your support is spot on. I thank you for your time.
