Can't make outside ForbiddenArea work

[nr1dane]

I can't figure this out.

I've created a forbiddenArea to prevent AI to walk into - that doesn't work - no matter what I do.

BUT - placing AI *inside* that area will keep them there.

According to the manual you should be able to do both.

What am I doing wrong??? http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

Well - I think I figured it out:

What I had done was a simple test - creating 3 TagPoints with a ForbiddenArea in between the TagPoints and the AI just to see what the AI did - and of course the AI proceeded to wade straight through - ignoring the ForbiddenArea.

BUT - when in attack-mode they'll stay away from that area.

Soooo - paths and/or NavigationModifiers apparently are the way to fix this.
