# 설치 가이드

1. 코드 내려받기

git clone https://github.com/leth4/InstantPipes

깃허브에서 프로젝트 코드 전체를 내 컴퓨터로 내려받습니다.

cd InstantPipes

방금 내려받은 프로젝트 폴더 안으로 이동합니다.

2. Node.js

쉬움 추천

사전 준비물

Git GitHub에서 프로젝트 코드를 내려받으려면 필요합니다.
Node.js npm 명령어를 쓰려면 Node.js가 설치되어 있어야 합니다. LTS(장기지원) 버전을 추천합니다.

npm install

package.json에 명시된 라이브러리들을 내려받아 설치합니다.

npm start

개발/실행 서버를 켭니다.

✅ 명령어 실행 후 터미널에 나타나는 주소(보통 http://localhost:3000 형태)를 브라우저에서 열어보세요.

# Instant Pipes

An editor tool for procedurally generating pipes by just dragging the cursor from start to end — the pipe will find the path in a customizable way.

![Unity_3wtlMTU9I1](https://github.com/letharqic/InstantPipes/assets/44412176/912f3879-1d82-4408-8cef-2698b82608a0)

## Compatibility

Unity 2019.4 or higher.

## Installation

Add the package to your project via the [Package Manager](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/upm-ui.html) using the Git URL
`https://github.com/leth4/InstantPipes.git`. You can also clone the repository and point the Package Manager to your local copy.

## Usage

### Starting out

1. Create an empty GameObject and set its world position to zero.
2. Add a `Pipe Generator` component.
3. Select a material for the `Material` property.

If you're facing problems, visit the troubleshooting section.

Ctrl+Z works with all actions. When you're commited to the pipes, you can just remove the component, the mesh will stay.

### Pipes Settings

- `Curvature` changes the length of the curved parts, making pipes appear more or less curvy. Note that it applies after pathfinding, so in some cases high curvature value can make pipes intersect.
- `Edges` property selects how many edges the pipes will have, and `Segments` is the amount of subdivisions in curved parts. 
- You can toggle `Rings` and `End Caps` and separately set up their radius and thickness.
- Additionally, you can toggle `Extrusion` under the `Rings` label, replacing rings with extruded curved elements, like on plastic pipes.

### Using pathfinding

In the component inspector, select the `Create` tab. Now in the scene view start dragging your cursor where you want the pipe to start, end let go where you want it to end; a pipe will appear.

The tool uses A* pathfinding without a predefined grid — by raycasting from a point to the next points. Pipes can only detect colliders as obstacles.

Property | Explanation
:- | :-
Preview Path | Will preview how the pipe will look like while dragging. Can be slow with complex pipes!
Amount | How many pipes will be created at once; each one will have an individual path.
Max Iterations | How many points will the algorithm check before giving up.
Grid Y Angle | Rotates the Y axis of the pathfinding grid that every pipes have to follow.
Grid Size | The distance between searched points; making it too small can produce bad results.
Height | How high the first and the last segment of a pipe will be. This value can't be smaller than grid size.
Chaos | Adds randomness to the pathfinding, making paths twisted and chaotic.
Straight Priority | Makes the algorithm prefer straight paths over turns.
Near Obstacle Priority | Makes the pipes stay close to obstacles.

### Manual Editing

In the component inspector, select the `Edit` tab. Select one of the points in the scene view by clicking on it, and then you can:
- Move the selected points in the scene view
- Input the exact positions for the selected points in the inspector
- Delete the point or the entire pipe via a button in the inspector
- Insert a new point via a button in the inspector

Hold `shift` to select multiple points. Press `A` to select every point of the selected pipe.

Every pipe is a separate submesh, so you can assign separate materials by dragging them into the scene view.

## Troubleshooting

> Getting an error when trying to build

- That was recently patched, so please update the package or download the latest version of the tool.

> Pipes appear squashed

- Toggle and re-toggle rings, that should fix it. Will hopefully find a proper fix soon.

> Dragging my cursor doesn't do anything

- Make sure you have the `Create` tab selected
- Make sure you're pointing at a surface with a collider
- Make sure Gizmos are enabled
- If nothing else helped, try resetting the editor layout to default

> Pipes can't find a way

- Set the `Iterations` higher, that will make the algorithm try for longer before giving up
- Set the `Grid Size` higher, this way the algorithm can find a way with less iterations
- Tone down the `Chaos`, `Straight Priority` and `Near Obstacle Priority` values, those make it harder to find a way
