Just Press P before you run it, it will show in the editor all the time even when playing

Hi ljms,

I just tested this in 4.4.3 and it is working. Which version of the editor are you currently using?

Make sure that the navmesh is built by using the Build Paths option and that you can see it when you toggle the P-key in the editor window.

Hi TJ,  
i’m also using 4.4.3. The P-Key only works in the Editor but i want the Navmesh to show while playing. I tried the Console Command in other Projects and it works fine.

I figured it out. The Navmesh only show on the Server. So if you use Dedicated Server, like i did, you can’t see the navmesh in any playing window.

To have the change persist, type this in the command console

ShowFlag.Navigation = 1
