I suggest you read the navmesh tutorial. creating a navmesh is one of the simplest things its basically running around with record on.
Thank you very very much for the explanation Chichard, I've made custom navmeshes for FATES before but never made a triangle jump connection. I'll give it a shot in this next match. I'm using the Frontlines mesh Ace included here.
EDIT: YAY!! I got it working!!! THANK YOU
Ok now I have another issue, 1. after the bot jumps up, it immediately turns around and jumps back down towards the pad (falling to its doom of course). Any idea how to solve that?
And now 2. the bot does not seem to dodge aoes for some reason even though I have avoidance ticked, it does it in PvE though. Hmm.
EDIT2: Recommendation or suggestion, which I'm not sure is possible, but it would be awesome to add the npc nodes as a priority. Also, to incorporate that new random movement from pve into pvp would probably help bot realism. Just a couple ideas.
EDIT3: SOLVED! I deleted the area around the jump pad and viola, no more issues. Still not dodging aoes very well and runs in blindly sometimes but oh well, it functions.
