Waypointing

Introduction

Nazi Zombies: Portable makes use of a waypointing system to define nodes that zombies may path between. This allows for a fairly simple and intuitive, albeit limited, way to allow mappers to create custom pathfinding for their maps.

Waypoints can be edited directly in-game via the waypoint editing mode, foregoing the need to recompile the map when creating or adjusting waypoints. This mode can be accessed via the command waypoint_mode 1 in the console. Saving a set of waypoints via this mode will generate a .way file within the maps folder of NZ:P; a plain-text file containing data for each node.
