I am making a custom global planner, I want to switch to the default global planner when the custom global fails to make a plan. Can you guys help me out on this?

I tried setting the parameter "/move_base/base_global_planner" as "global_planner/GlobalPlanner" when my custom planner fails to make a plan and return false in the function "makePlan" . But still keeps calling the same custom planner instead of the "global_planner/globalPlanner".

I have written below a piece of code from my custom global planner in the makePlan function,

    bool success = client.call(srv);
    if (!success)
    {
        ROS_ERROR_STREAM_THROTTLE(1, "Failed to call service planner");
        n.setParam("move_base/base_global_planner","global_planner/GlobalPlanner");
        return false;
    }

Please help me out on this, or any other alternative ways of switching the global planner.

You can't do this by setting a parameter -- you need to use dynamic_reconfigure to change the planner at runtime.

thanks, but actually I want to switch the global planner automatically, so is there any other way. I guess using dynamic reconfigure we can only change it manually. Please update on this.

You can programmatically call dynamic_reconfigure -- it has an API -- it's just a service call underneath. You would simply replace your n.setParam() line with the proper call to the dynamic_reconfigure interface.
