Syntax

dtStatus closestPointOnPoly
(
    dtPolyRef ref,
    const float * pos,
    float * closest
) const

Remarks

Finds the closest point on the specified polygon.

Uses the detail polygons to find the surface height. (Most accurate.)

`pos_ does not have to be within the bounds of the polygon or navigation mesh.

See closestPointOnPolyBoundary() for a limited but faster option.

Returns

The status flags for the query.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
ref	The reference id of the polygon.
pos	The position to check. [(x, y, z)]
closest	The closest point on the polygon. [(x, y, z)]
