Media 0 for listing Sparse Grid - Spatial Query System

Description

The Sparse Grid Plugin is a high-performance spatial sorting system for Unreal Engine, allowing for ultra-fast queries for spatialized objects, actors or data.

Forum Thread

The plugin quickly and seamlessly integrates into any C++ or BP project. Use the editor tool to define the play-area of your level (or update it on-the-fly), and register your query targets with the grid system.

You can use the built-in queries, or create your own in C++ or Blueprint, to query those objects very quickly. The system is fully exposed to blueprint, so no C++ knowledge is required to implement.

Common Use-Cases Include:

  • AI searching for targets.

  • Swarms of homing projectiles searching for targets individually.

  • A radar pinging local objects.

  • Applying damage to a wide range of objects.

  • Testing against players for local-area VOIP.

And so on...

Greatly Benefits the following:

  • Games with large/open worlds.

  • Games with high density/number of actors (RTS, Battle Royale etc.)

  • Games with complex or large numbers of AI.

  • Games requiring unique or highly modified collision settings.
