The idea that I had to solve the direction of travel problem seems to work, but it was more complex that I thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Searching for the nearest intersection node in the grid was quite complex, especially when I needed to make sure that it was an intersection with no obstructions (such as buildings, etc) in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was eventually able to solve this, but there were still other minor issues relating to collisions between vehicles, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also had to add a solution for a situation where the AI could no longer travel in any direction. To resolve this case, I simply had the AI change lanes if there was no path possible on their current lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This solution now works reasonably well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are still some minor issues to fix, and I still need to add some simple placeholder art, but the main work on this seems to be done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
