The distance between two locations in A*Star Navigator

Hi,

I am using A*Star Navigator for navigation of task executer through an area, with some pre-defined locations (with exact x and y coordinates) to travel to. There are barriers, dividers along the way.

I need to know the exact distance between any two locations. I have tried the following methods to get the distance between two locations:

1. computation, based on 'Distance Formula for Two Points'

2. using flexscript command 'distancetotravel'

But both methods do not give the correct distance as compared to the the A*Star Navigator actual travel distance.

How do I get the correct distance by script (without running simulation) for A*Star Navigator?


Thanks

Chong

Can you attach an example model. "distancetotravel()" returns the correct distance in my test.

For travel to coordinates you can use the "getCost()" method of the navigator class.
