HOW TO USE

Nextbots use a navigation mesh instead of an ai node. You can generate one for a map by typing in the following command:"nav_generate"

Depending on the size and complexity of the map it can take from several seconds to several minutes.

Once the process is finished, the map will be restarted and once you've loaded back into the map,

make sure to type in "nav_save" so you don't have to generate the navigation again.

No walkable seed positions

If "nav_generate" gives you a message saying "No walkable seed positions" then type in:

"nav_edit 1" then point into complex spots on the map and once finished, type "nav_mark_walkable" then type "nav_generate"

Nextbots are frozen / moving in place

This means the map has no navigation mesh, or that the area they're spawned in has no connection to a navigation mesh.

Nextbots move but t-pose

Make sure you have the [wOs] Base downloaded and enabled in the required items.
