    AI drowning

    Is my memory playing tricks on me, but I seem to remember that AI would happily swim about in days gone by should they land in any water, but now they seem to be instantly drowning. Is it a change or have I got some setting wrong?

    Have you looked at the map when turning on the navmesh, I am no expert but have seen some maps with lots of enemies swimming and getting onto land to fight.
    Maybe if the navmesh shows a route for them to get from A-B they should survive but if there is no route out of the water they drown ?

    As an experiment I dropped 3 enemies into a large area of water and on starting the map they swam to the nearest area where they could get onto land, I then placed huge generic walls around the enemies so they could not get out of the water, on spawning they dropped into water and instantly drowned without attempting to swim.
    My guess is that the route out of the water is somehow blocked for these enemies, if you turn nav-mesh on it should show you where / what the issue is.

    Interesting. I'll investigate further.

    Thanks
