Unwalkable area.?

Unread post by Khaine »

So here's a screenshot of the situation. I can't get my character to get any closer to the door than where he is now. Tried baking and rebaking, area IS walkable as defined in the editor. Smoothed area out, repositioned some shit but that's the closest he can get to the door. Also, he won't walk up the stairs on the ruins to the left, he just walks on regular ground(despite making the ground unwalkable in the editor)

Be sure to set all adjacent placeables to environmental. Otherwise they can create havoc with the walkmesh when baked - boulders and rocks can be particular bad.

There are also known issue regarding baking in general. Baking can screw up walkmeshes too, and so can rebaking, so once you think your area is just fine and dandy, you can actually ruin it by baking it. But there is no way around baking, so you have to make small adjustment, bake and cross your fingers.

After a second look, I want to bet that your culprit is the tall, oblong boulder behind the cave entrance / door. I wanna bet it isn't set to environmental.

And once again the bgtscc community comes through with flying colors :)

It was actually some rocks lower than the large one that were causing the problem. All is well now :) Whew, now to delve into the hard stuff :(
