Just started trying to map with far cry 5 editor and I was wondering if there was a way to make an AI patrol a specific section/area of the map? For example, can I just make a NPC go back and forth in a narrow hallway?

Use a control zone the size of your hallway. This vid is showing the PC editor but the concept is the same across the platforms:

There's a bunch of Far Cry 5 Control Zone tutorials on youtube
Thank you very much for the answer and supplied resources, jcoffeycup. :)
Yes, control zones keep AI in a specific spot. Use Animation Points with alternating durations placed inside the control zone to guide them towards specific spots.
Here's a video to demonstrate a setup: you can have multiple AP's in a single Control Zone, and have the "first" Animation Point unspawn / have a large cooldown after use to make the AI walk on.
AI can momentarily leave their Control Zone if it's required to get access to another part of their Control Zone.
