The PathFinding script is part of the OmniVehicleAi system. It is responsible for finding the shortest path between two waypoints and generating a spline for the AI vehicle to follow. This is a key component for AI navigation, particularly in scenarios where the AI needs to dynamically move between different points in a scene.

1. Core Components

waypointSystem waypointSystem

• Description: This is a reference to the waypointSystem, which manages all waypoints in the scene. It provides functions to get the nearest waypoint and calculate the shortest path between two waypoints.
• Usage: The waypointSystem is used to find the waypoints needed for pathfinding, and it helps in creating a spline path from these waypoints.
• Example: When the AI vehicle needs to navigate to a destination, this system helps in determining which waypoints to follow.

AIVehicleController AIVehicleController

• Description: A reference to the AI vehicle’s controller, which provides information about the vehicle's position and handles its behavior.
• Usage: The script uses the AIVehicleController to find the AI vehicle’s current position and calculate the nearest waypoint from that position for starting the pathfinding process.

PathProgressTracker pathProgressTracker

• Description: This reference points to the PathProgressTracker, which tracks the AI vehicle's movement along a path and handles spline-related movement.
• Usage: The script uses the pathProgressTracker to update the path spline, ensuring that the AI vehicle follows the correct path once the shortest route is calculated.

List\<waypoint> waypoints

• Description: This is the list of waypoints that the AI will follow. After pathfinding, this list contains the waypoints on the shortest path.
• Usage: Once the shortest path is found, these waypoints are converted into a spline for the AI to follow.
