| Summary | 0003024: Pathing costs on steep slopes is too high | ||||
| Description | Units avoid slopes that are near their maxSlope. SlopeMod should propably also be taken into the consideration and if the unit is going up or down the slope. | ||||
| Additional Information | If you want to tryout this play Zero-K revision 5709. You can make ramps it will print the params which you can then insert into the widget I've uploaded here. To enable custom widgets in Zero-K press Escape to the see the Menu under the resource bars and Press the wrench. Then you get a popup with the Label Settings. Cross the "Show advanced settings" box. Press Misc in the menu and then "Local Widget Config". You might have to restart spring or do "/luaui reload" for the custom widgets to show up. The widget is called "Ramp On TheRockFinal" and should be listed among "Ungrouped" in the widget list. If you have construction units selected you can press Ctrl+P and the units will build a ramp on the map TheRockFinal. This ramps just traversable by kbots and but they prefer to not use it. As bonus you can stand close to it on lowground and order kbots to go just above the ramp and they will use the ramp. If they stand on the highground near the will not use the ramp. I guess this is because of the resolution of pathfinding causing them to choose different ways when they go from A to B or B to A. | ||||

"Units avoid slopes that are near their maxSlope" Obviously. If you don't want that, set unit slopeMod values closer to 0. "SlopeMod should propably also be taken into the consideration" It is. "and if the unit is going up or down the slope" It is. |

In the scenario I tested above this does not stand true. I have tested this with very wide ramps but the unit would still not path down the ramp in some cases. |

Better add a screenshot of the bug. In long_path_castle the unit follows the big red arrow instead of simply walking down the ramp.The unit can walk up and down the ramp fine if it is forced to. |

A combination of factors means this is hard to fix in either pathfinder. QTPFS does not support directional slope-costs (maybe in the future if it gets used more), the default PFS supports them only at maximal resolution and extending that is as much work as for QTPFS. |
