PlanarAvoidBounds Class Reference

Description

PlanarAvoidBounds implements an avoidance behaviour which uses a percept's bounding box information (back-end class).

It extends the RadiusSteeringBehaviour. This behaviour calculates an agent's relative position to the currently processed percept and applies a magnitude towards an avoidance direction (left and right with respect to the obstacle) until the agent faces away from the percept. For the default setup, this behaviour uses an axis-aligned bounding box (AABB). With the help of the BoundsType parameter, it is possible to use the oriented bounding box (OBB) instead. Note, this behaviour is for planar sensors only, since the avoid directions are only calculated for +- AvoidanceAngle relative to an agent's movement direction.

The movement direction is given by the normalized SteeringPercept.Velocity. The up vector for the rotation is determined by the SteeringBehaviour.VectorProjection and cannot be set individually.

Back-end class of AIMPlanarAvoidBounds. This behaviour is thread-safe.
