de.metaphoriker.pathetic.api.pathing.configuration.HeuristicWeights

public class HeuristicWeights
extends Object

Represents a set of weights used to calculate a heuristic for the A* pathfinding algorithm. These weights influence the prioritization of different path characteristics during the search.

This class defines weights for the following distance metrics:

• Manhattan Distance: Prioritizes direct movement along axes.
• Octile Distance: Allows for diagonal movement for finer-grained pathing.
• Perpendicular Distance: Penalizes deviation from the straight line to the target, aiding in smoother paths.
• Height Difference: Factors in elevation changes when calculating path costs.
