AI Navigation Modifier

 

What is an AI Navigation Modifier?

 

AI Navigation Modifiers are used to alter the navigation setup of your level for special navigational setup, such as internal areas, flight navigation and on water navigation. 

In certain situations, it is used in conjunction with other AI objects, for example overlapping with forbidden areas for internal sections of buildings, or with AI points for internal navigation.
