Class

GKGraphNode3D

A node in a navigation graph, associated with a point in continuous 3D space.

Overview

Together, a network of nodes form a graph that describes the navigability of a game world. Use graph nodes with a GKGraph object to perform actions that relate to the network of nodes as a whole, such as pathfinding to determine routes through the network.

To learn more about graphs and pathfinding, see Pathfinding in GameplayKit Programming Guide.

Topics
