[FEATURE] auto-nav-bake about ttt-bots-2 HOT 6 CLOSED

Will be tackled around the same time as #18 -- actually sounds pretty easy to run an incremental generation if the optimizer addon is installed. Thank you for providing a snippet and some extra background, very helpful.

I'm thinking of having a feature like this be a cvar that is automatically enabled (e.g., "ttt_bot_nav_auto 1") and it will generate a navmesh for the map on the first load. Thoughts?

Since navmesh optimizer requires sv_cheats to be 1, which is a protected cvar. This is not possible to perform automatically.

Tried:

• function game.ConsoleCommand
• Player:ConCommand
• RunConsoleCommand

The worst part is that I only discovered this fact after writing 98% of the code.... haha....

In-progress, working on similar command which can be placed between sv_cheats, as such:

sv_cheats 1; ttt_bot_nav_gen; sv_cheats 0;

Unfortunately, I've discovered that even this ^ is impossible. Below is the only working method with the new concommand I'll be adding in v1.3:

1. Enter sv_cheats 1 in the console
2. Type ttt_bot_nav_gen
3. Wait for a bit
4. Enter sv_cheats 0

We cannot run it synchronously, as N.O. (and nav_generate_incremental, which it relies on) is asynchronous by design. Namely, N.O. uses timers and concommands heavily to generate its navmeshes. Running the above commands is an acceptable solution for small servers or servers of trusted friends, so I'm leaving it in.

If you wish to avoid the prep work, the only solution is to use find navmeshes on the workshop and limit your map pool to maps with navmeshes. I wish more mappers included navmeshes in them.
