CHARACTER_TYPE

Description

Constant: integer CHARACTER_TYPE = 6;

The integer constant CHARACTER_TYPE has the value 6

Used in combination with one of the character type flags. The default is CHARACTER_TYPE_NONE, other options are CHARACTER_TYPE_A, CHARACTER_TYPE_B, CHARACTER_TYPE_C and CHARACTER_TYPE_D. Note that the character type is not used to describe the behavior of the Pathfinding object but is used to describe the kind of surface and terrain that it prefers to travel. For example, a cow designed for a field should use character type B, but sheep designed to be herded along a road should use character type C.

Option		Default	Range / Values	Description
CHARACTER_DESIRED_SPEED	1	6	[0.2, 40.0]	Speed of pursuit in meters per second.
CHARACTER_RADIUS	2		[0.125, 5.0]	Set collision capsule radius.
CHARACTER_LENGTH	3		(0.0, 10.0]	Set collision capsule length If the value is less than twice the radius plus 0.1m, it will be set to twice the radius plus 0.1m.
CHARACTER_ORIENTATION	4	VERTICAL	VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL	Set the character orientation.
TRAVERSAL_TYPE	7	TRAVERSAL_TYPE_SLOW	TRAVERSAL_TYPE_FAST, TRAVERSAL_TYPE_SLOW, TRAVERSAL_TYPE_NONE	Controls the speed at which characters moves on terrain that is less than 100% walkable will move faster (e.g., a cat crossing a street) or slower (e.g., a car driving in a swamp). To use _FAST or _SLOW, you must specify a CHARACTER_TYPE.
CHARACTER_TYPE	6	CHARACTER_TYPE_NONE	CHARACTER_TYPE_A, CHARACTER_TYPE_B, CHARACTER_TYPE_C, CHARACTER_TYPE_D, CHARACTER_TYPE_NONE	Specifies which walkability coefficient will be used by this character.
CHARACTER_AVOIDANCE_MODE	5	AVOID_CHARACTERS | AVOID_DYNAMIC_OBSTACLES	Combinable Flags: AVOID_CHARACTERS, AVOID_DYNAMIC_OBSTACLES, AVOID_NONE	Allows you to specify that a character should not try to avoid other characters, should not try to avoid dynamic obstacles (relatively fast moving objects and avatars), or both. This is framed in the positive sense ([CHARACTER_AVOIDANCE_MODE, AVOID_CHARACTERS] would create a character that avoided other characters but not agents or moving vehicles). Setting this parameter to AVOID_NONE causes the character to not avoid either category.
CHARACTER_MAX_ACCEL	8	20	[0.5, 40.0]	The character's maximum acceleration rate.
CHARACTER_MAX_DECEL	9	30	[0.5, 60.0]	The character's maximum deceleration rate.
CHARACTER_DESIRED_TURN_SPEED	12	6	[0.02, 40.0]	The character's maximum speed while turning--note that this is only loosely enforced (i.e., a character may turn at higher speeds under certain conditions)
CHARACTER_MAX_TURN_RADIUS	10	1.25	[0.1, 10.0]	The character's turn radius when traveling at CHARACTER_DESIRED_TURN_SPEED
CHARACTER_MAX_SPEED	13	20	[1, 40.0]	The character's maximum speed. Affects speed when avoiding dynamic obstacles and when traversing low-walkability objects in TRAVERSAL_TYPE_FAST mode.
CHARACTER_ACCOUNT_FOR_SKIPPED_FRAMES	14	TRUE	TRUE or FALSE	TRUE matches pre-existing behavior. If set to FALSE, character will not attempt to catch up on lost time when pathfinding performance is low, potentially providing more reliable movement (albeit while potentially appearing to be more stuttery).
CHARACTER_STAY_WITHIN_PARCEL	15	Depends*	TRUE or FALSE	FALSE matches traditional behavior. If set to TRUE, treat the parcel boundaries as one-way obstacles (will re-enter but can't leave on it's own).
