So, i got a map with portals which lead to instanced areas, sourrounded completly by Boundary. But some units still walk to the edge of the map instead of walking straight through the portal even if they are closer to it. Still in maps like Lordaeron Tactics pathing is build up the same way and it works, so is there anything you guys know of which could probably cause that problem?

Thanks :)

Here's could be the problem..


Units may find to walk faster to the location than using the portal. This means that Units will find the fastest and easiest way to go in the location..

Check if at the portal's teleporting area have enough space or there are no blocks on the way..

IN SUMMAR >> Your problem is about paths.. so try to check walking pathability of your terrain.. and make sure that units will don't have other ways to go to a certain location but to go to your portal... try placing pathing blockers..

well, my instanced area is coumpelty sourrounded by boundary AND on a higher ground level, so there is no way towards it than the portal, which is as big as the normal one and got lots of free space around it. Are you sure there isent another issue that could cause this problem?
