Pathfinding question

[xapcx]

I have an issue when i use pathfinding to move in my script.  If the z axis changes levels, i get the "can't get there from here" message above my head.  As a work around, I use an incremental %i to just cancle out of the pathfind.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could fix this?  Here is my move code i use:

Sub moveNow
  set %x %movex
  set %y %movey
  set %z %movez
  set %i 0
  while ( #CHARPOSX <> %x || #CHARPOSY <> %y ) && %i < 5
  {
  event pathfind %x %y
  wait 5
  set %i ( %i + 1 )
  }
Return

Code: [Select]

Sub moveNow
  set %x %movex
  set %y %movey
  set %z %movez
  set %i 0
  while ( #CHARPOSX <> %x || #CHARPOSY <> %y ) && %i < 5
  {
  event pathfind %x %y
  wait 5
  set %i ( %i + 1 )
  }
Return

I think you need to also have a Z coordinate when pathfinding.  As you currently have:

event pathfind %x %y

It should probably read:

event pathfind %x %y %z

If you know the exact xy location you want to get to, you can do a Tile Get for the position and set your %Z to #TileZ

I will look into the tile get command, I have never used it. 

With the event pathfind, %x %y, it works just fine as long as there is not a 2 level change in z from one tile to the next.  I will try it again with the %z

You can only event pathfind to places that are ON your screen too, I'm sure you know that, but I'm just reiterating.   Your spots that you are pathfinding TOO have to be fairly close.   I'm not sure what happens if you try to get to a spot that's too far away... I think it gives you the same message...?

Yup exact same message if the spot is off of the screen
