This is the second tutorial on how to make pathfinding for an RTS type game, or even a point and click style adventure.

It requires the Advanced Pathfinding Object available HERE:
http://www.clickteam.info/greyhill/rAPF1.002/APFSetup.exe

This is more of an example than a tutorial since this does not contain annotations yet. It has however been fine-tuned some what compared to the first version that was up here.

This example shows the following:
RTS style pathfinding for multiple duplicates of the same active object.
RTS style unit selection using a drag box, shift clicking, and CTRL groups.

I have now also updated 'Practical RTS pathfinding 1' with full annotations of my most up to date method for doing pathfinding. To learn how to use the APF i suggest you use that tutorial first and try making your own pathfinding. Also refer to the APF's own help file and tutorials.
