This demo shows how to use Pathfinding stack to visit multiple places on the map.

Notice how these clever squares are moving to the exit, while collecting any loot they see along the way.

In the second demo you can touch several destinations on the screen, and the squares will visit each one of them!

This example provides a simple solution.

One very common problem with Pathfinding behavior in Construct 3 is preventing pathfinding objects from colliding and overlapping each other. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this. We have two demos, which may be a good starting point for someone making an RTS/RPG game.

Both downloads include a very well commented event sheet.

Example 1

C3P Avoid overlapping at the target point. When several instances are moving to the same point on the layout, they will stop at some distance from each other within the same area.

Example 2

Pathfinding

C3P Avoid overlapping while moving. Multiple groups of npcs/enemies can be moving to different destinations, and they will try to avoid overlapping each other.
