This is about a post on Github:
https://github.com/TheGameCreators/GameGuruRepo/issues/1891
I asked Lee how to fix this problem and he wanted to provide an answer that would benefit everyone.

We await his response.
Thanks Lee.

The nav mesh area only calculates detailed paths within an extra that has been populated with static objects. The rest of the terrain uses line of sight paths that do not use the single nav mesh of the level. If you want more detailed paths, you need to add static objects around the area you want navigation to take place. You can check the size of the nav mesh by activating the "Disbale AI Management in Test Level" in SETTINGS/Developer and then in the TAB TAB view, tick the "Show Navigation Debug Visuals" option in AI Management component.
GameGuru Classic will continue to be supported with bug fixes and functionality additions.

@Lee,

Look at these screenshots. There are about ten static objects along the path of the guard. I placed static objects over the red line of the Path Finding, all along the path. But he gets through. He does not avoid them.




Then he does as in the video. He walks, staying in place when he gets too far from me. If I approach, it restarts but it continues to pass through the obstacles.

I tried two Behavior :
- Patrol
- Character Attack
but that doesn't change the problem.

Although i fully understand how the Navmesh grows by adding static objects ( i have done many videos on it )
At the moment the Navmesh is growing but the character in the distance still stops and continues to animate ?
I have even tried setting them to Always Active as you would in Classic.
The only person ever to get all his work done by "Friday" was Robinson Crusoe..

It's possible. For me the problem is solved: I regained control of my collisions. But not the enemies/bot.

There are only two solutions :
- It's a collision problem (again)
- This is a mesh navigation problem.

I'm sure it will be fixed very soon.
Don't forget that the month of February is dedicated to fixing bugs.
