Pathing with Translocating

Bots will automatically translocate to normal actors in the path network if they can trace a path there that can be accessed by walking or jumping.  If you want bots to translocate somewhere they wouldn't normally be able to access, you need to place a JumpSpot and preferably set the property JumpSpot>>bOnlyTranslocator to True.  Bots will then aim at the JumpSpot when they want to translocate there.  If bots aren't translocating correctly, you can place another actor (usually a LookTarget), give its tag in the JumpSpot's JumpSpot>>TranslocTargetTag property, and bots will then aim at that actor when translocating to the relevant JumpSpot.  Alternatively, you can specify a z-offset (the vertical distance from the JumpSpot you want the bot to aim) using the JumpSpot>>TranslocZOffset property.
