does anyone know the algorithm used in UT for path finding. I know it uses the path nod newtork which is easy to set up, but wondered how they weighted the nodes

distance?
There's probably a simpler, more elegant way of doing it but hell this is London
Over my head.. but maybe not over this guys.

try there, hes got links to postscript files about bot navigation... everything from in games, to real world robots, to robotic ''sight''.

The link is from Botman''s site (half-life bot maker)

Just decompile and dig through the UnrealScript.

(I know that doesn''t help that much. . . .but it''s somewhere to start. )
The actual algorithms for finding the next path node are in the engine code not the script I''m not sure if that code was released. I recall epic releasing a lot of the header files and such so people could compile new code, but not too sure about the full source.
