's AI Jumping Videos
Hi !
Here are a few videos I have of my AI jumping code, including a new one I’ve just uploaded!
I explain my methodology below
**AI Jumping To Reach Specific Goal Across Nav Mesh Gaps**
In this video I am showing how my C++ AI code is helping my AI units to get across gaps in nav mesh / different nav mesh sections to reach a specific goal!
My C++ code is enabling the AI to reach places they could never reach without some carefully calculated jumps!
**In all of my videos all jumps are dynamically calculated**, I am not using navlinks of any kind!
The only setup I did was to place the navigation mesh volume, the rest is done by me in C++ !
I use [Navigation Mesh Point Projection](https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?25410--s-Multi-Threaded-Dynamic-Pathing-System-Full-Physics-Support&p=129896&viewfull=1#post129896) to keep the cost of all my AI analysis very low :)

Taking Jumping Shortcuts
AI taking shortcuts along known and good paths to shorten the journey!
In the above video, the AI has a good path to follow, and does not need to use jumping, but I do some nav point project calculations to determine when and where there are good jumping shortcuts that can be used!
See video for details! 
**My Methodology**
I actually created my own PathFollowingComponent subclass!
Then I use a custom Controller, extending AIController,
and I overrode **InitNavigationControl()** to use my custom component!
**That's all there was too it!**
Now inside of:
**FollowPathSegment(float DeltaTime)**
the tick function of PathFollowingComponents,
I perform all my custom logic!
Enjoy the videos!
