In this Unreal Engine 5 tutorial, I take the AI patrol path system to the next level by upgrading the visualizer tool for patrol points. Now, with optimized instanced static meshes, clearer icons, and improved visuals, it's much easier to see where your AI will patrol. This new and improved visual tool allows you to track AI patrol points more efficiently and helps you design better paths for your NPCs. Follow along to see how to implement this update in your own Unreal Engine 5 projects!

Shout out to JY for the art direction!
