Pathnodes are placed to create a network which AI uses to navigate the cell. While certain aspects of AI may not use the pathnodes, most navigation is handled by analyzing this network. | Pathnodes are placed to create a network which AI uses to navigate the cell. While certain aspects of AI may not use the pathnodes, most navigation is handled by analyzing this network.

Press the button indicated above to switch to pathnode mode in the CS. Depending on your viewing angle, you may notice a pre-existing network of pathnodes in the cell. Remember the cell we duplicated way back at the beginning of this tutorial? Pathnodes exist in parrallel of the cell, so they can only be manipulated, created or deleted in this mode. (Notice also that you cannot select or otherwise affect the regular cell objects in this mode.) Drag a selection box around the old nodes and delete them now. Move the camera around to make sure you got them all. | Press the button indicated above to switch to pathnode mode in the CS.
