Flight Time / Runtime / Difference Bug With Navigation (Can't take flights)

[r00t]

I am going to use the Orgrimmar flight master as an example here.

Assuming you manually walk your bot up to the flight master and start HB on a profile that wants to take you to say, Ashenvale, HB will decide to NOT take the flight path even though it's much longer to run there than to fly. In Orgrimmar, this happens because navigation cannot correctly calculate the distance you need to go.

I'm guessing that since the flight master in Org is on a high Z plane, navigation cannot figure out a correct path because you have to take a lift to get up there in the first place. Therefore, navigation will calculate the farthest point you CAN run to on that plane. In Org, this would be the edge of a cliff that leads to the border between Org and Azshara and Ashenvale. Since navigation didn't build a full path to Ashenvale, the distance to run to this cliff is much shorter than the calculated flight time. Therefore, HB will decide to run instead of use the flight path. Of course we all know what happens now. HB gets stuck and never moves.

I am thinking that this bug will affect any flight master that is on a point that you have to take a lift to get to.

Is there any way to force the navigation system to calculate the ACTUAL route so that HB will use the flight master in Org?

As has been said before, you must be able to actually navigate on foot to the end destination. HB doesn't know how to take elevators; thus, it can't navigate on foot.

It's not a bug, just lack of functionality right now.
