WAYPOINTS

Waypoints define points which entities can use to avoid obstacles in the AI system. By default they are positioned at corners and linked together to build a network that can move an entity to any valid position within the system.

Waypoints are created automatically when adding obstacles but you can choose to create your own waypoints by adding them manually and updating their connections using AI Update Waypoint Visibility. Adding an obstacle to a container after changing the waypoints will reset the waypoint network back to its default construction.

This shows an example of the waypoints (dots) and their connections (lines) which can be used to make up an entity path from one position to another.
