Entity description

A dynamic connection between two navigation nodes.

You specify the node IDs of the start and end nodes, and then you can use entity Inputs and Outputs to turn on and off the connection. This could be used to create or destroy a connection in the nodegraph because of some event in your map (a bridge being created/destroyed, etc).

  • See also info_node_link_controller - manages all connections between nodes that intersect the controller's volume. This allows for mass enabling/disabling of all node connections through a volume.
