• Plain Paths are very flexible. You can use them to define a path for a bot to follow. Normally paths are invisible when the game is being run. when programming a bot to follow a path you can optionally tell it what color path to follow. The color of a path can be changed the same way the color of bots can be changed. In the World Options you can check Debug Path Following to display the normally invisible paths while running your world.
• These paths allow you to create Roads in your game world
• These paths allow you to create Walls in your game world. By raising and lowering the node you can control how high the walls are
• Flora paths allow you to lay out patterns of flowers in your world
