PATHS

A path holds a list of points which can be used to describe a route in the order the points are defined. The main purpose for this is to assign patrol routes to entities, but they can also be used as a simple structure for holding a list of unrelated points.

You can create create a path between two points that will take into account any obstacles in the way, allowing you direct access to the path finding system. Such paths will follow waypoints and valid edges between them to build up a complete path. If the start or end points are inside obstacles attempts will be made to find the closest point outside the obstacle (this may fail where multiple overlapping obstacles create a difficult solution).
