Abstract
A system uses map data of a virtual environment and object data of an avatar object including a moveset to generate an action path for traversal of the virtual environment by the avatar object. The system applies machine learning model(s) to generate one or more pathways through the virtual environment, and decompose the one or more pathways into one or more pathway segments that can be evaluated for feasibility and other factors. The system can iteratively generate and evaluate a move sequence of the action path having one or more parameters for execution by the avatar object. The system can construct the action path by combination of a plurality of pathway segments to satisfy one or more constraints associated with traversal by the avatar object from a start location to a destination location within the virtual environment.
