path_update

Description

Event: path_update( integer type, list reserved ){ ; }

	Event ID
	Delay

Event description goes here.

• integer	type	–	A PU_*, it's the path event type
• list	reserved	–	Reserved; not currently used.

Constants	Value	Description
PU_SLOWDOWN_DISTANCE_REACHED	0x00	Character is near current goal.
PU_GOAL_REACHED	0x01	Character has reached the goal and will stop or choose a new goal (if wandering).
PU_FAILURE_INVALID_START	0x02	Character cannot navigate from the current location - e.g., the character is off the navmesh or too high above it.
PU_FAILURE_INVALID_GOAL	0x03	Goal is not on the navmesh and cannot be reached.
PU_FAILURE_UNREACHABLE	0x04	Goal is no longer reachable for some reason - e.g., an obstacle blocks the path.
PU_FAILURE_TARGET_GONE	0x05	Target (for llPursue or llEvade) can no longer be tracked - e.g., it left the region or is an avatar that is now more than about 30m outside the region.
PU_FAILURE_NO_VALID_DESTINATION	0x06	There's no good place for the character to go - e.g., it is patrolling and all the patrol points are now unreachable.
PU_EVADE_HIDDEN	0x07	Triggered when an llEvade character thinks it has hidden from its pursuer.
PU_EVADE_SPOTTED	0x08	Triggered when an llEvade character switches from hiding to running
PU_FAILURE_NO_NAVMESH	0x09	This is a fatal error reported to a character when there is no navmesh for the region. This usually indicates a server failure and users should file a bug report and include the time and region in which they received this message.
PU_FAILURE_DYNAMIC_PATHFINDING_DISABLED	0x0A	Triggered when a character enters a region with dynamic pathfinding disabled. Dynamic pathfinding can be toggled by estate managers via the 'dynamic_pathfinding' option in the Region Debug Console.
PU_FAILURE_PARCEL_UNREACHABLE	0x0B	Triggered when a character failed to enter a parcel because it is not allowed to enter, e.g. because the parcel is already full or because object entry was disabled after the navmesh was baked.
PU_FAILURE_OTHER	0xF4240	Other failure.

Caveats

• Note that if wandering, the "stop" (PU_GOAL_REACHED) type may never occur as a new goal may be chosen when near (PU_SLOWDOWN_DISTANCE_REACHED) the previous goal.
• When the character cannot navigate from the current position (PU_FAILURE_INVALID_START) llNavigateTo with the FORCE_DIRECT_PATH option may be helpful.
