As we need to find all possible tiles a unit can move to, A* quickly bogs down because it is designed to find a single path from point A to B as quickly as it can, but finding a path from A to B-Z is a lot of individual paths. We’ll add this to the same script as the Dirs enum. The breadcrumbs mentioned earlier.

Initializing class member variables can be quite of a hassle, code such as this is common in GDScript: The 'onready' keyword allows initialization of class member variables at the same time when _ready is called, saving some code: But doing this for autoloaded scenes can still be a hassle, as it has to be done every time a script is created.

We’ll leave the script alone without being attached to any objects for the time being so we can copy things over from it if we want. The original version of the code marked the class as abstract, which GDScript does not seem to have any concept of. With that in mind, we’ll organize accordingly.

A lot of people asked about making 2D maps and how to use different types of tiles like water vs dirt. For this lesson I created a couple of simple images to use for tile maps. This asset will be sort of abstract data, and can be “skinned” with specific tiles at a later point. They are available in this package here.

In that project, we had some unique challenges thanks to a non-square board where tiles were optional. In addition we had to consider tile heights – and whether or not a unit could jump as high as needed. In contrast, the pathfinding in this lesson will be for a 2D square board with no missing tiles.

In Godot, a Button has the full inheritance chain implicit: Node -> CanvasItem -> Control -> Button -> Behavior Script. I find this makes code simpler and easier to maintain and optimize (a testament to this is how tiny Godot's codebase is compared to other game engines, while providing similar levels of functionality).
