Stupid Question

How does the pathing_settings entity work? Do I need 1 or 1 in each room? I ask cause my cysts wont place outside the hive rooms and AI units wont leave hive rooms.

You need a pathing_setting and if you don't have huge elevations the navigation mesh should be good to go on default settings. Technically it also works without a pathing_setting. You can go ingame and type nav_debug in the console to see where the problems are, problems are basically missing bits or rather holes in the navmesh

Well I checked the nav mesh and its only in the hive rooms, and I'm still having problems placing cysts, do those depend on the mesh as well?

copy and paste the path_settings entity from an official map :) its usually hiding somewhere in the ready room so its too hard to find.

pick a map that is similar to yours in elevation and it should work without having the change any settings on the entity.
