So I was working on a model based on a CAD drawing. I imported the CAD, then I created walls based on the drawing. The first time I did it, walking people would avoid the walls.
Then I had to re-scale, so I deleted the walls, scaled, and re-created. Now the people walk through the walls. Am I missing a wall property?
Hi @John A4, by default people in the model don't know what they are or are not allowed to travel through (including walls). This needs to be set up using the A* Navigation (called A-star) section in the Library. There's a nice tutorial in the manual about how to set this up. A* basically allows you to specify which objects should act as barriers to travel, create additional barriers and dividers, and assign preferred or mandatory paths for people to travel on.
I'm attaching a simple model showing how this works in the standard 3d environment. Keep in mind you need to specify where the A* grid will be (blue box) and also which objects are part of the navigation (double click on the A* in the model to assign new members to the navigation system). Astar example.fsm
Thank you very much, feel like an idiot. I had it in there, but I guess when I removed the old walls, it removed "walls" from the list. Just sampled a wall and people weren't ghosts anymore.
