Follow command has stopped working since last update, with or without

rrrain. Is this already known?

i suppose it is the same reason as this:

New patch will be uploaded tomorrow to fix this and all other recent bugs.

[cassius]

Just did todays update (8 files updated ) recompiled my project. Collision now works fine on terrain but the enemy character still will not follow player. I have only tried it on terrain up to now.Hav;nt altered my code in several weeks.

[cassius]

Ok. Its working now. Thanks for update.

Just make sure you calculate the navmesh in the editor.

Just make sure you calculate the navmesh in the editor.

 

I feel like this should, by default, automatically happen each time we run the game. Maybe make a setting to disable auto navmesh generation? People are going to forget to manually do this each time they add something to the scene.

[beo6]

then you could say that the lightmap should also be calculated each time you start

[Rick]

I feel like that has a more visual aspect then the navmesh. The navmesh does have a small visual aspect but in general seeing what your lighting will look like is critical where you can do some assuming on the navmesh. What was the scenario as to why this was changed from automatic real-time generation?

[cassius]

I didn't understand the values in the navmesh dialog so I left them at default.

The speed of the generation maybe? If it takes a minute or even several seconds to generate, I wouldn't want it to calculate every time I moved an entity an inch.

[Rick]

My understanding was that it was multi-threaded and it wasn't really noticeable. I know during design time I never noticed it before with the old way. Now it takes me like 2-3 mins to calc it manually

[Josh]

The problem is it took too long to calculate the navmesh for a terrain if the whole thing was run in the background. In the future, a combination of static and dynamic navmesh geometry will be used.
