Import NavMesh - Modify Navmesh

[YouGroove]

The possibility to import our own navmesh.

Usefull if your level base or floor is made of one mesh.

 

Ability to modify Navmesh by hand in the editor would be a big Plus also.

Navmesh by hand would be cool or at least the ability to modify the boundries of the mesh. That would allow you to actually run away or hide behind certain game objects. You probably can do it with code but I am but a newb. If it is possible please let me know.

Navmesh modification by code is important too for dynamic obstacles.

[gamecreator]

I thought the current navmesh already handled dynamic obstacles.

not in my tests

So is this in Leadwerks 3 ?

As far as I remember. Dynamic navmesh was taken out due to performance problems.

Yes letting user be able to do it, could be very efficient, as it would just be edit some polygons by code.

Could be powerfull specially if you oculd import your own navmesh.

 

For some RTS, making some navmesh like a grid and putting buildings only on square polygons where buidling is allowed.

Once you put a building , just removethe square wher it is from Navmesh.

i thought only the automatic navmesh generation was taken out and we should call the navmesh generation method manually. However it takes minutes until it is finished. So i wonder how the dynamic navmesh generation was done in the first place and if that would also take minutes on a terrain.

If you could add/delete navmesh parts , that is just at final : POLYGONS,

You could delete polygons navmesh around some new building you place, that would be fast without needing any re calculation.
