This function uses the navigation system to make an entity walk along a path to a specific point in the world.

Syntax

• bool GoToPoint(float x, float y, float z, float maxspeed=1.4, float maxacceleration=1.0)
• bool GoToPoint(const Vec3& point, float maxspeed=1.4, float maxacceleration=1.0)

Returns

If the path is able to be calculated true is returned, otherwise false is returned.
