Still automating room creation but boy has it paid off! With one button press, I bind the camera limits to the room, set entry/exit triggers, generate a chunk-based navigation mesh, generate waypoints for things like spawn zones, movement logic assistance, etc. Then I remove ones not on the navmesh!

During stream I created some icons to go with some of the enemy behaviors I've been programming.
This one with the hilariously bad moai statue is supposed to be "set enemy facing to current target" but instead it looks like something a mercenary would put on the side of a mobile suit

The last issue is that the navigation areas poke into the doorways, where we don't want enemies pathing. Easy fix: add margins.
With a Vector4i property with each value representing a side of the room, I pass in a value of 2, meaning that we shrink that side of the baking coords by 2 tiles. Clean!

This was more or less what I wanted in a solution. There were some strange issues with the postprocessing where I'd see an extremely small nav poly sticking into the obstacle areas. (red circle)
Why this happened is mysterious, but not as mysterious as the problem vanishing on its own. ok. Anyway-

Simple enough. I have a collider the size of my room; the dimensions for which I use to create a NavigationPolygon that I bake in the editor. This carves out the spots where my obstacles are, easy as pie. But the nav polys in larger rooms look like this:

I replayed Terranigma recently and the ending sequence still makes me cry. All these years later, and I've yet to play anything else that resonates with me in the same way. It's mysterious.
