It's also possible to divide a map into invisible (to the player)

UT creates a network of nodes. Every weapon pickup, ammo, health, jumpbooster, teleporter, vehicle spawnpoint, etc... are nodes in the network. If they are not dense enough in places you can place normal nodes. Also, can place special 'sniping' 'cover' etc... [ It precalcs a ton ( maybe all ) pathfinding on map building vs in game ]
