A path_corner is a destination for an NPC. When told to, NPCs will stop other movement and walk steadily towards a path_corner. It is entirely scripted behaviour.
Path_corners can be chained together to form more complex routes. To create a path_corner chain simply shift+drag an existing path_corner. The values will automatically be filled in. To manually make a chain (or link one up in a circle), edit the Next stop target property. Note that the Train Speed values are obsolete unless you are making a path for a func_train.
To make a NPC move to a path_corner edit the 'Target Path Corner' keyvalue, either in Hammer or through the I/O system. Alternately, an NPC can be made to follow a path_corner chain by using the aiscripted_schedule or scripted_sequence entities.
Limitations and bugs
- A path_corner (or the first path corner on a chain) must be within 576 units for NPCs to find it.
Example
Note that the example map does not have any info_nodes. They are not needed to have an NPC follow a path.
