  • image:jbrowne_IconTestPath.jpeg Test Pathfinding: Must be in Triangle Select Mode to use this. Right Click on a triangle and then Right Click on another triangle. A colored path is created showing you the path an actor would take.
  • image:jbrowne_IconBalanceOptimization.jpeg Balance for Optimization: Flips and creates edges that simplify the navmesh (useful for getting rid of "spider webbing"). Be sure to check your navmesh for errors afterwards, sometimes this command gives unwanted results.

  • image:jbrowne_IconFinalize.jpeg Finalize Current Cell's Navmeshes: Finalizes loaded cell's navmeshes.

  • image:jbrowne_IconEditCover.jpeg Edit Cover for Edge: Brings up the Edge Cover dialog only if the selected edge is on the edge of a navmesh. The dialog will not come up if the edge is found inside the navmesh because you cannot have cover on an internal edge.
  • image:jbrowne_IconMergeVertices.jpeg Merge Vertices: Merges selected vertices.
  • image:jbrowne_IconToggleWater.jpeg Toggle Water: Select the triangles you want to set as water and press this icon. The triangles should change color.
