Question - Any passive path finding?

[Drallin]

Is there a way to get some kind of passive path assistance to an arbitrary location? e.g., either a find path line on screen, or a nav path on the map without actually navigating?

The objective is to guide manual navigation in a complex unknown zone.

Edit: Algar posted solution: /nav target paused

MQ2Nav

or

/waypoint loc

Doesn't waypoint just drop an X, not show a path?

And yes, I'm using mq2nav. Currently, I'll have it /nav, look at the map, then cancel it and go a ways then re-do. Not sure if there's a way to have it permanently displayed without navigating.

You are asking if the nav path can be drawn on the screen/map without engaging the autonav movement, correct?

Yes. (Or any equivalent functionality like find path, except I think that only works on EQ approved npcs/zone lines.)

The use case is basically finding my way through a zone that's new to me (I'm catching up on content I missed between ages ago and now), and has a ton of elevation changes and levels stacked on top of each other so brewall alone isn't super helpful even with the height filter enabled.

I am not personally aware of any way to do that, unless he has some kind of debug or test mode built in. Edit: well, I guess I am aware

Does the line stay there when you pause the navigation?
You can /nav pause
It also seems you can add the "paused" flag to start nav paused (e.g, /nav target paused) according to

Ooh. That works. And the path updates when you move.

Not sure how I missed that one. Thanks!

the paused thing was a *little* more user friendly when you could see the yellow trail wisp, which you can't currently see until brain does his dx11 revamp

I miss the line so, so much.

WORKS JUST FINE 4 ME

you are just on bad servers. Seriously I started on DX11 Live and never saw it, so it was actually a little offputting on emu. I don't care for it much either way.
