Andrea Catania - 19 February 2020Feature work has started for the upcoming Godot 4.0, and one of the first major changes is the integration of NavigationServer (and NavigationServer2D) to greatly improve and simplify the navigation workflow in Godot. This devblog shows how to set things up for a simple example with dynamic collision avoidance and runtime navigation mesh re-baking.
