a .nav file allows nextbots to traverse properly without getting confused, aka taking the long route to you, trying to become a ghost and walk through walls,

It allows nextbots to move around the map and hunt you down and whatnot as without a navmesh, the nextbots either don't spawn, stand completely still and do absolutely nothing or have a very small detection radius and can't pursue you properly.

That only for nextbot, dont work with default HL2 bot or VJ Base ???

Both VJ and DRG use nextbots

Oh, okay, thanks for the help

In detail a navmesh (short for Navigation Mesh) is an invisible 3D object that basically tells the NPC where it can move, and where it cannot. In Garry's Mod NPC's use the navmesh and Pathfinding[en.wikipedia.org] to find what area you are allowed to walk in, and what the shortest path to the player is.

Also in Garry's Mod (and other games that use some sort of path finding) you cannot run an NPC that walks around without a navmesh as the Pathfinding will get confused causing an error. So garry just full out removes the Pathfinding part of NPC's if there are no navmesh making it unable to move around your map but still work as intended.

Keep yourself safe.

ok basically in a simple way, nextbots without a .nav are retarded and bang there head in the wall but with a nav mesh they aren't retarded, they can get to you properly and won't bang there head on walls. to sum it up .nav makes the bots smarter and not hit walls. basically they just work like humans but smarter.

How is this thread still being dug up its been a year and a half
