Question - Start nav path paused?

[njk70]

Is there a way for /nav (or something else) to show the path but not run you there?

If you type /nav ui

then you should get this window



unfol the Navigation options and check the last option the Path Following Paused, that makes nav pause the nav until you give the command /nav pause to toggle it offf and he will nav

Ignore Kaen. You can start a nav in the paused state. Read the /nav help

but this makes it work nicely and you can see that you set it, instead of being like omg why it not naving!

?

Not at the computer but you can literally ask it to start a nav as paused instead of changing global settings and wondering why nothing works!

 

[kaen01]

yes, you can start a /nav spawn banker | paused

but for example, you can't do that on the map, by clicking the map like i showed, plus if your intention is to have nav not start but just show the path, then IMO it's better to use the /nav ui setting while you are exploring the paths that are needed.

I guess I should have tried it, I saw the paused option not sure why I didn't think that would be what I wanted.
