学习演示项目dodge_the_creeps，发现里面多了一个Path2D与PathFollow2D

 研究GDScript代码发现，它主要用于随机生成Mob

	var mob_spawn_location = get_node(^"MobPath/MobSpawnLocation")mob_spawn_location.progress = randi()# Set the mob's direction perpendicular to the path direction.var direction = mob_spawn_location.rotation + PI / 2# Set the mob's position to a random location.mob.position = mob_spawn_location.position# Add some randomness to the direction.direction += randf_range(-PI / 4, PI / 4)mob.rotation = direction# Choose the velocity for the mob.var velocity = Vector2(randf_range(150.0, 250.0), 0.0)mob.linear_velocity = velocity.rotated(direction)

这个有这么大的作用，不明觉厉

但不知道如何下手

查看源码，有编辑器及类源码

先从应用角度，到B站上找找有没有视频，结果发现这个

Godot塔防游戏 - 01 -核心路径制作 Path2D_哔哩哔哩_bilibili

看了之后，就知道使用方法了：

• 添加Path2D
• 在编辑器中设置路径各关键点，形成路径

• 在Path2D下增加PathFollow2D

这就OK了。剩下的就是使用

所谓使用，输入为PathFollow2D的progress，输出为路径上的点信息(position, rotation...)，然后用户再根据这些信息去确定相应的属性

比如演示项目中，Path2D定制了一个外框路径(左上角 > 右上角 > 右下角 > 左下角 > 左上角)，在生成MOB时，随机指定其下的PathFollow2D的progress值为randi()，即为0 ~ 2^32 - 1的随机整数。因为路径是有长度的，本例中为2400，randi()值将按2400取模得到最终的随机值0 - 2399，当然也可以归一化，设置其progress_ratio值为0.0 - 1.0，意思一样。

查看源码，set_progress的逻辑不只是取模，还有限制范围。即PathFollow2D还有一个Loop属性，如果Loop为真，才会取模，为false时，会直接限制在路径长度范围内 progress = CLAMP(progress, 0, path_length); 之后统一更新_update_transform

void PathFollow2D::set_progress(real_t p_progress) {ERR_FAIL_COND(!isfinite(p_progress));progress = p_progress;if (path) {if (path->get_curve().is_valid()) {real_t path_length = path->get_curve()->get_baked_length();if (loop && path_length) {progress = Math::fposmod(progress, path_length);if (!Math::is_zero_approx(p_progress) && Math::is_zero_approx(progress)) {progress = path_length;}} else {progress = CLAMP(progress, 0, path_length);}}_update_transform();}
}void PathFollow2D::_update_transform() {if (!path) {return;}Ref<Curve2D> c = path->get_curve();if (!c.is_valid()) {return;}real_t path_length = c->get_baked_length();if (path_length == 0) {return;}if (rotates) {Transform2D xform = c->sample_baked_with_rotation(progress, cubic);xform.translate_local(v_offset, h_offset);set_rotation(xform[1].angle());set_position(xform[2]);} else {Vector2 pos = c->sample_baked(progress, cubic);pos.x += h_offset;pos.y += v_offset;set_position(pos);}
}

从PathFollow2D代码来看，它派生于Node2D，所以具备transform属性：Position、Rotation、Scale、Skew，对于路径上的点使用而言，这些信息就足够了，能够确定这些点的位置、方向，其实就是一个矢量 

Loop属性值的含义前面已明确，Rotates、Cubic、H Offsets、V Offsets都是在_update_transform中起作用，具体算法可以不深究。但lookahead没找到具体用处，感觉影响不大。

从代码与用途来看，Path2D就没啥看头了，就负责提供一条曲线路径

当然，也不是啥用处没有，比如动态指定路径的时候，就可以设置一条Curve2D，然后赋给Path2D，后面就照此行事。

比如，该演示项目中，

var curve = Curve2D.new()
curve.add_point(Vector2i(100, 100))
curve.add_point(Vector2i(400, 600))
$MobPath.curve = curve

然后，玩家呆在右上角，这就是那些MOB的死角，玩家可以活到把用户送走
