Node Network (.nntx)
Introduction
A NodeNetwork is a collection of nodes (points in world space), connected by links. A node network is used to perform "pathfinding" - the movement logic for navigating a map with obstacles.
Creating a NodeNetwork in Glue
Glue has built-in support for working with NodeNetworks. To add a NodeNetwork to your level screen:

Select Add File -> New File
Use the dropdown to select Node Network (.nntx)
Change the name of the file if desired
Click OK
Editing a NodeNetwork File
To edit a NodeNetwork file, double-click the file in Glue and the AIEditor should open. If you have not set up the file associations, you can do this by following these steps:
Right-click on the node network in Glue
Select View in Explorer
Right-click on node network file (.nntx) in Windows Explorer
