A little workaround for off the grid errors with MQ2Nav. If, for instance, you are standing in a non-mapped region, or the NPC or target is off the grid, this tries to move you back onto the mesh or find a position CLOSE to the target that is on the mesh.
It's not perfect, but just giving some ideas I've been working on. I basically replaced all "/nav id" or "/nav target" calls by the puller to the target in kissassist with:
/call MQ2NavFix X Y Z
XYZ is the location or NPC you want to Nav to. The snippets will try to get you back on the mesh, and/or find a position closer to the NPC that is on the mesh. Can be more sophisticated for the Target than I've coded right now, but it's a start...

ps-- I was looking at MQ2Nav code last couple of days and I think I can add a couple of calls (.TargetOnMesh or .MeOnMesh) that might make this easier than the code I am using here. We'll see if I understand Brainiacs code well enough to mess with that.
