area-based vs path-based walking?

[adc]

Do areas record the objects within them upon creation? While working on a script today I found that I didn't even need to use pathwalking of any sort because the client was able to pathfind to objects that I gave it to interact with, even when they were more than a screen's distance away, and I still haven't determined whether this was a matter of proximity or if it has to do with the size of my areas.

I'd imagine this is only viable for traversing in the loaded region.

Objects get loaded.

While this works 90% of the time. It is safe to walk in minimap distance with the object you want to interact with.

If the object is not loaded ( black area on minimap) u cannot walk to with with ".interact" !!!
