CinemachinePathBaseFindClosestPoint Method

Find the closest point on the path to a given worldspace target point.

Namespace: Cinemachine
Assembly: Cinemachine (in Cinemachine.dll) Version: 2.0.0.0 (2.0.0.0)

Syntax

public virtual float FindClosestPoint(
	Vector3 p,
	int startSegment,
	int searchRadius,
	int stepsPerSegment
)

function FindClosestPoint(p, startSegment, searchRadius, stepsPerSegment);

p: Type: Vector3
Worldspace target that we want to approach
startSegment: Type: SystemInt32
In what segment of the path to start the search. A Segment is a section of path between 2 waypoints.
searchRadius: Type: SystemInt32
How many segments on either side of the startSegment to search. -1 means no limit, i.e. search the entire path
stepsPerSegment: Type: SystemInt32
We search a segment by dividing it into this many straight pieces. The higher the number, the more accurate the result, but performance is proportionally slower for higher numbers

Type: Single
The position along the path that is closest to the target point. The value is in Path Units, not Distance units.

Remarks

Performance could be improved by checking the bounding polygon of each segment, and only entering the best segment(s)
