Is there a way to tweak or otherwise provide hints to the nav mesh about what areas should be traversable and which areas shouldn't be traversable?

I'm having a problem with drydosity atm. There are a few narrow areas in the map that players can quite easily walk through, but they can't be cysted through and the AI units won't travel through them.

    Would be nice to know - I also have a problem with ARCs refusing to go through model doors and working doors (I haven't resized them or anything of the kind - factory setting doors)

    You need to tweak the pathing_settings entity. Reducing the tile size can help alot. You could probably copy one from an official map, and look at the nav mesh, and tweak that if needed. The default one created by the editor has the kind of problems you guys are experiencing.

    golden rule of mapping: when in doubt, copy summit. that's what i did. then i tweaked until i got a better result for my map (i had steeper inclines and i cut the grid it used in half because it makes for more mesh coverage and doesn't affect performance)
