Improve dungeon pathing

[Photogenic 24]

hi,

This is request for @Droidz if possible to improve level 70-80 dungeon path ? In some dungeons, people skip some parts of the dungeon and they take a short cut by jumping from a cliff.

For example, in the dungeon called "The nexus" see the video below between minute 2:28 and 2:33

Instead of going with regular path, the player usually skip killing these mobs and jump. The problem now if I use party follow, bot will take regular path and pull all mobs. Can the bot be improved to follow/jump from the cliff ? There are other dungeons too, I can bring a list if needed.

That's not how pathing works. If you want a forced path, either use follow path in quester or add a forced off mesh. 

 

It makes no sense to add a path where there isn't one because people take a shortcut. You're breaking the system that way

how do I do a forced off mesh ? any tutorial out there about it that you know of?
 

and if its possible to add forced mesh,  then its possible to make the change the path within the bot, correct? its just that everyone goes that way 100% of the time. Its like in Gundarak where people jump into the water after killing bosses. Nobody takes the regular path at all.
