Best way to use calculatePath and addEventHandler PathCalculated?

@RCA3 how many data points did you end up with? aka you should be getting tons of waypoints as result with this approach

Way to persevere man.

👍

Thank you, brother.

Are you experimenting to understand calculatePath usage, or do you have a specific purpose in mind? 

I actually needed this to finish a script i've been writing for a few weeks.

Specifically was for infantry patrols on roads.

237 (per group) 😄

I'm using a derivative from this by @davidoss  to delete waypoints in between 100 meters. Not on this example though so i can't count that for you.

//Params:
// Array - array of positions (needs array if single param)
// Scalar - minimum distance. default 100
// Boolean - random. default false
//
//Returns:
//Array - positions within distance

if (param [0] isEqualTo "preInit") exitWith{[]}; //preinit (no message)

 

if !(params[
    ["_posarray", [], [[]]] //Array of positions (needs array if single param)

]) exitWith{["Invalid parameter: %1.", param [0]] call BIS_fnc_error; []};

 

//Optional params
private _mindist = param [1, 100, [0]]; //Minimum distance to apply to points
private _random = param [2, false, [true]]; //Random delete point

 

//One or no points
if (count _posarray isEqualTo 0) exitWith{[]};
if (count _posarray isEqualTo 1) exitWith{_posarray};

 

private _ptsmindist = [_posarray # 0];

{
    private _curpt = _x;

    if (_ptsmindist findIf {(_x distance2D _curpt) < _mindist} isEqualTo -1 && {[true, ([true, false] select (round (random 1) isEqualTo 0))] select _random}) then{
        _ptsmindist pushBackUnique _curpt;
    };
}forEach _posarray;

_ptsmindist

 

Edit:

Might I add that this method (previous post) is calculated almost instantaneously despite the amount of data, sadly not being shown on the video.
