Hello Kryten! I’ll try to help you with this!

First of all, It would be great if you can share a video of the issue, showing the guards not moving.

Is it possible that they are actually moving but you cannot see the navmesh near them? Remember that the navmesh is only shown in a small area around the player but, regardless, it is active even when not visible. Maybe it is being generated and you cannot see it because you are not close enough to that area.

Images shown this effect:

One extra thing you can test is to use “AI Patrol Path Node” devices to create paths for the guards and check if they use them even if navmesh is not showing.

Hope it helps! I’ll be waiting for your answer!

Hey,

First of all I wanted to state that I moved the whole map I had from around 400000 units out to around 0 so everything is working now!

I think if you move to far out the navmesh may not generate although I’m not going to sink anymore time into as I found a fix for my issue.

In the image I’m on a new map at

at where the navmesh stops which is the same place on the island where I had the issue before.
Thanks for the help!
