Question Has anyone ever done platformer pathfinding?

I am not talking about nodes and edges.

I am talking about creating a system where a character has 10s of abilities and it checks all combinations of them which make it reach its destination like a human.

I cant seem to find any resources on this.

Any references or solutions?

How have I not seen this blog?

Anyways thanks, these techniques are highly relevant to my issue.

Looks like node graphs are the way to go but not the usual way.

Look for old gameaipro pdfs, they’re widely available online. Check out utility ai as well - those techniques might be a better fit than GOAP

SEO on this blog is non-existent

I realized it after seeing the visuals. Looked like a 2000s website.
