I can see the nodes but NPCs still won't use them.

Uncommon Saucers, yeah VJ base uses a different system and improvises a bit with it's own navmesh, node generation. It's just a matter of better coding, but it doesn't always shine brightest.

Thank you for the info Naki. Oh right, of course, I forgot what a navmesh does lol. Yes, this makes sense, I have a rough idea what the difference between nodes and a mesh is, however, I've never made maps in source. Other games still use a navmesh and nodes for AI though it's a little simpler.

Over last 6 years I've made custom levels for 2D titles which relied upon scripting (Plazma Burst 2, Happy Wheels, etc.), and simpler 3D maps for like Ravenfield. I should've known better but it's been a while since I mapped. Guess I'm waiting for a navmesh with some better nodes then.

AI nodes tell NPCs where they can go, navmesh tells them how they can go there. Roughly.


The NPCs follow AI nodes (either ground or air nodes) as well as can get hints as to what they should do at that one specific spot.


Navmesh tells them how to traverse the terrain (e.g. crouch, climb, jump, sprint, avoid).

Boromir Artementaller that's a nav mesh, one needs that in order for nextbots to navigate around a map in the first place

I don't know why but sometimes default NPCs wont recognize the nodes while VJ NPCs will, it happened once with me
8oromir 15 Jul, 2022 @ 1:50pm 
Well, that's not so insightful fettel, but alright. I hope this map gets proper nodes sometime soon
uncommon saucers  [author] 15 Jul, 2022 @ 1:44pm 
It happens sometime

For some reason this nodegraph addon doesn't change a thing. NPC's are static regardless. Hel:P:?
