Pathfinding and flight

[Paul Hexem]

It seems to me that while Pathfinding is great for automated objects on the ground (and much easier to use than vehicle scripts), what about flying objects?

For example, a UAV or drone or robot or something, that hovers or outright flies like a plane?

Any chance we'll see another version of Pathfinding for that?

[Atashi Toshihiko]

I'd love to see this too. Pathfinding birds would be great. Ditto for things that swim - boats and fish.

AFAIK pathfinding is restricted right now to only things that walk, crawl or roll upon the land. No flying, no swimming.

It would be neat to have indeed. /signed

You can always get the appearance of hovering by playing with the CHARACTER_RADIUS property and/or using an invisible 'base prim' underneath your hovering object.  Flight ... not so much ... but hovering can be mimicked.
