  You can hook into the OnCharacterReachNode custom event to get details of how far along a Path a character is:

  using UnityEngine;
  using AC;
  
  public class GetNextNodePosition : MonoBehaviour
  {
  
      void OnEnable () { EventManager.OnCharacterReachNode += OnCharacterReachNode; }
      void OnDisable () { EventManager.OnCharacterReachNode -= OnCharacterReachNode; }
  
      void OnCharacterReachNode (AC.Char character, Paths path, int nodeIndex)
      {
          int nextNodeIndex = nodeIndex + 1;
          if (nextNodeIndex >= path.nodes.Count) return; // Reached the end
  
          Vector3 nextNodePosition = path.nodes[nextNodeIndex];
      }
  
  }

  Great, thanks Chris. That should give me a better way to handle this.

  Chris, any idea why that event would be called twice for each node?

  I can't recreate such behaviour. Do you have multiple instances of the script present?

  One thing I should have mentioned is that the "character" parameter should be used to filter out events called by other characters. If you attach the script to your NPC, you can begin the event function with this:

  if (character.gameObject != gameObject) return;
  

  If you're still getting duplicates, put a Debug.Log statement in there and check the stacktrace - what's showing up in the Console?

  Hi Chris. Thanks for the tip, already had that one covered. Turns out it was a duplicate gameobject from the issues around the NPCs not being instantiated. Removed it and it's all working.

  Thanks
