I put a big ravine in my map and the AI keep falling in it and killing themselves. How would I fix this?

thanks

add planning and barriers so that they do not go to the ravine. AI without planning and barriers take the quickest route to a cp which is a straight line add planning and barriers in zeroedit and you can control where they go

Is there away to make the Hub Connections thiner becuz I make them go across a bridge but some still run off the edge becus the connection is so thick.

What I usually do is just put a bunch of barriers where I don't want them to go. As long as you kind of tell them where not to go, they should be fine by themselves. For the most part bots can find their way around, they just need some guidance. I hardly ever use hubs and connections; I'd rather just let the bots go off on their own; makes it more interesting, since they don't follow the same path every time. And with barriers they wouldn't walk off cliffs and such.

But aren't the barriers invisible walls? or do they just tell the AI don't go here?

no they just tell the AI not to go there they DO NOT restrict you from going there because "hopefully" humans are smarter than AI (but that is not always the case)

to make the hub connections thinner make the hubs smaller

But now,YankFan'' you are talking about planning path's not barriers.
