AStarGrid2D
===========

**Inherits:** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

An implementation of A\* for finding the shortest path between two points on a partial 2D grid.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

**AStarGrid2D** is a variant of :ref:`AStar2D<class_AStar2D>` that is specialized for partial 2D grids. It is simpler to use because it doesn't require you to manually create points and connect them together. This class also supports multiple types of heuristics, modes for diagonal movement, and a jumping mode to speed up calculations.

To use **AStarGrid2D**, you only need to set the :ref:`region<class_AStarGrid2D_property_region>` of the grid, optionally set the :ref:`cell_size<class_AStarGrid2D_property_cell_size>`, and then call the :ref:`update<class_AStarGrid2D_method_update>` method:


.. tabs::

 .. code-tab:: gdscript

    var astar_grid = AStarGrid2D.new()
    astar_grid.region = Rect2i(0, 0, 32, 32)
    astar_grid.cell_size = Vector2(16, 16)
    astar_grid.update()
    print(astar_grid.get_id_path(Vector2i(0, 0), Vector2i(3, 4))) # prints (0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4)
    print(astar_grid.get_point_path(Vector2i(0, 0), Vector2i(3, 4))) # prints (0, 0), (16, 16), (32, 32), (48, 48), (48, 64)

 .. code-tab:: csharp

    AStarGrid2D astarGrid = new AStarGrid2D();
    astarGrid.Region = new Rect2I(0, 0, 32, 32);
    astarGrid.CellSize = new Vector2I(16, 16);
    astarGrid.Update();
    GD.Print(astarGrid.GetIdPath(Vector2I.Zero, new Vector2I(3, 4))); // prints (0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4)
    GD.Print(astarGrid.GetPointPath(Vector2I.Zero, new Vector2I(3, 4))); // prints (0, 0), (16, 16), (32, 32), (48, 48), (48, 64)



To remove a point from the pathfinding grid, it must be set as "solid" with :ref:`set_point_solid<class_AStarGrid2D_method_set_point_solid>`.
