findClosest only work now and then
-
I have a list of extensions and try to get the closest extension. For that I use the following code:
'''
if (extensions.length) {
console.log(creep.name + ' found '+ extensions + ' extensions.')
energyDropOff = creep.pos.findClosest(extensions);
console.log(creep.name + ' goes to ' + energyDropOff);
}
'''Sometimes I get the following log:
[11:04:08PM]Victoria found [spawn Spawn4],[structure (extension) #55a3e402368e5ead526b74f0],[structure (extension) #55a3e7c3d7b98859762c0f50],[structure (extension) #55a3eb86358f887c0c8a579a],[structure (extension) #55a4003c358f887c0c8a62d9],[structure (extension) #55a3f567e45ec680778026d4],[structure (extension) #55a3fa8b5f6db8b052603ca7] extensions.
[11:04:08 PM]Victoria goes to [structure (extension) #55a4003c358f887c0c8a62d9]Sometimes I get this:
[11:05:43 PM]Victoria found [spawn Spawn4],[structure (extension) #55a3e402368e5ead526b74f0],[structure (extension) #55a3e7c3d7b98859762c0f50],[structure (extension) #55a3eb86358f887c0c8a579a],[structure (extension) #55a4003c358f887c0c8a62d9],[structure (extension) #55a3f567e45ec680778026d4],[structure (extension) #55a3fa8b5f6db8b052603ca7] extensions.
[11:05:43 PM]Victoria goes to nullAnnoying thing is that most of the time it is the last result so my creeps are moving very slowly.

And I do need to work on my 'Markdown' skills

One key note about findClosest is that it's trying to find a path to object ( and therefore is very slow) as opposite to findClosestByRange which just gives you distance.
If the path is blocked by another creep - the function will return null.
-
There are 2 creeps in that room walking around and it happens even if they are opposite of the location where the extensions are.
However, thanks for thinking with me Dark.

Dark, your idea got me thinking. Been fiddling around with the options on findClosest and putting the algorithm: 'astar' in it solved the issue.
Thanks again.

Thanks for reporting, this must be fixed now.
