info_node_link
==Entity Description==
'''Entity Name:''' info_node_link


A dynamic connection between two navigation nodes. You specify the node IDs of the start and end nodes, and then you can use entity I/O 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).

    • The node ID of one end of the node connection.
  • Initial State initialstate <choices>
  • Allow Pass When Off AllowUse <string>
    • Entity or class to allow passage even when node is off
