How do you use and make nav mesh zones?

First, you download the 013 beta, then you hit Ctrl-A until you enter nav mesh zone editing mode.

Actually using them is much more complex, as it involves bot navigation, but basically you want to look in the wiki bot docs under navigation. Basically, you pick an object or point you want to navigate to, and then do a series of getWaypoint() calls, fly to those points, and soon enough you'll arrive at your destination via a relatively efficient path through the level.

Thanks!

Every bot I make just circles around its own flag. Why is that?

Just guessing that it's because it's programmed that way?

Post the code, and let's see what's going on.

Here is the level.

So this uses quickbot -- did you modify that from what was posted in the forums?

No.

Actually, I think these bots DO mostly just orbit their flags if they're in a defensive posture. Also, the AI is pretty limited for anything other than CTF.
