4. Navmesh

A navmesh is a collection
of polygons that tells an
actor where it can walk.
A navmesh is used to
determine navigation
paths for PCs and NPCs.
They are critical to the
knowledge an AI actor has
about any given space.
Quality navmesh is an
important factor in helping
the AI behave as well as
possible.
Here is a video illustrating
the concept.

5. Assignment
Continue building your mod with the Creation Kit.
Continuing with your previous file add an encounter(s), traps, and a navmesh for NPCs
and enemies.
When completed create a folder of
screenshots which help visual this area.
Your screenshots should be full screen to
show items and the navmesh. As always
zip the folder and upload the file to
Moodle using the standard naming
convention - DWilliams_CISC105_9.zip
