Now we cover a bit more advanced use of navigation meshes in Left 4 Dead. It includes ladders, marking EMPTY, NO_MOBS, OBSCURED, connecting between two navigation meshes, manually drawing navigation mesh and binding keys to speed up the workflow in Left 4 Dead.
Navigational Meshes Console commands:
nav_build_ladder: builds navigation for the ladder
mark EMPTY: doesn't allow for infected to spawn on these marked areas at first, but they can spawn on them later. Good for player_start areas and furniture.
mark NO_MOBS: doesn't allow for infected to spawn on these marked areas at all. Good for cliffs and areas not designed for gameplay.
mark OBSCURED: hidden marked areas for infected to spawn from. Good for VS maps and to spawn the herd from.
nav_connect: connects between two or more navigational areas. The areas have to be selected for them to be connected.
