func_nav_prefer is a brush entity available in Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, and Black Mesa.

Artificially makes bots prefer a certain area when choosing navigation paths by decreasing the pathfinding cost of progressing through the area.

Note: For this entity to take effect, it's volume must cover an entire nav cell to take effect on that cell.

Note: The path cost of moving through this nav area is 4% of the regular cost. While unlikely, other paths could have a value lower than the preferred path.
