Navigation Areas

A navigation area is an area within which pathfinding is performed.

Navigation areas can be the following:

  •   Navigation Sector is a cuboid-shaped navigation area within which 2D and 3D routes can be calculated.
  •   Navigation Mesh is a navigation area which is based on an arbitrary mesh. Only 2D routes can be calculated within this navigation area.
