UI Nav Markers Must Be Enabled Each Round

UI Nav Markers must be re-enabled with the Set Nav Marker Enabled node at the start of every round.

Navigation markers implemented in Forge may appear to stop functioning once a round concludes. This behavior is expected and can be addressed by refreshing the marker status for each new round.

A UI Nav Marker displays a name, icon and its distance to the player.

Marker Persistence

When designing navigation systems, developers can build a list of UI Nav Markers at the start of the game. This list is not cleared when a round ends, meaning the same marker references remain valid and can be accessed in subsequent rounds.

Refreshing Markers

Because markers do not automatically reactivate when a new round begins, the Set Nav Marker Enabled node must be used to make them visible again.

Implementation Workflow

To maintain functional markers throughout a match, the following workflow is recommended:

• Game Start: Create and store a list of all necessary UI Nav Markers.

• Round Start: Iterate through the stored list and pass each marker into the Set Nav Marker Enabled node.

The Set Nav Marker Enabled node is used to toggle the visibility of a marker.

Since the list of UI Nav Markers persists across rounds, you do not need to rebuild the list at the start of every round, but they must be re-enabled every round.
