How to make navigation get as close as possible instead of stopping when the player is out of bounds

Fluffyalien

So, I'm making a game with simple enemy AI and it's working fine for the most part but I'm not able to find a way to have the enemies jump when they run into a jumpable object. The problem is that the navigation will stop when the player is on top of an object. How can I have the navigation not stop and instead get as close as possible, then I can make the enemy jump. In summary, how can I make the navigation not stop when the player is on top of an object and instead get as close as possible? (or if there is a better approach to this that'd be great)

What about adding area outside of these jump me objects collision which will launch enemies on entering?

The problem isn't getting the enemy to jump, the problem is that the navigation will stop if the player is on top of an object because the navigation thinks the enemy can't get there, so if the enemy is really far away and the player jumps on something it will stop right there and not move

Did you try the Godot 3.5 beta? It has a much improved path finding system.
