A* as a Stencyl extension (with basic sample) [ABANDONED]

Hey Jihem,

I really appreciate your awesome A* extension. Was wondering if you are going to update the extension for OpenFL Stencyl or is it just not working for me?

Hi NotMao,

to patch the extension for Haxe 3.0, just go to stencyl directory, then enter in plaf\haxe\extensions\decision-making\ and open DecisionMaking.hx

Replace all
Hash<Float>
with
Map<String,Float>

and it should work.

I have used http://haxe.org/manual/haxe3/migration#hash-and-inthash-removal 
to guide me in the process.

I hope this help you.

Can anyone please attach an updated extention in here once tested?

I was in the process of trying to figure that out and didn't know I needed to put the "String," there. After replacing all the Hash<Float> it worked perfectly.

Thanks AnemoneLabSNC!!!

it works great! I was getting worried about losing the most valuable extension to date

Is this still working? I tried running the game dm-astar-1 but I get the error
Events for 'Bot' (122) -  Missing ;

I did the required changes for it to work on OpenFl.

I'm running into the same problem as Kazetoon. Anyone know how to get this to work for 3.1/3.2?

It's working fine for me after making the Hash to Map change.  Did you try Run > Clean Project?

I'll try again, I probably messed up if it's working for you. Are the dm-astar demos supposed to work right of the bat or do I have to modify them in a way?

I tested the one attached on page 5 and it works after cleaning the project.

Alright, got it to work, probably had to do with the fact that I used the version from the first post.

I'll update the first post with the working files since the original creator has abandoned the extension.

I tried using the demo and noticed that the bot cuts diagonally over tiles. I want to enable diagonal movement but would like if the bot couldn't cut over ties. Is it possible to modify the extension so that the actor doesn't overlap tiles?

I'm sure it's possible, but I don't know how.  The code is confusing and has no comments.

Darn it, still a pretty cool extension.
