how to make adventure game like walking
hello i am going for an adventure type game, like scumm engine. I am researching how to make the walking, now can anybody tell me, if its a good way to use a bitmap hittest for the area one might click where he wants to walk, then on a graph node find the closest node to the clicked spot, and with depth first or breadth first search the route to it. Then i would attach metadata to all links between nodes with info how to animate while going from one to another, like there would be simple walking nodes, perspective nodes, ladder climbing nodes, maybe swimming nodes etc. Is it a good idea?
