When using Navigation and pathfinding it is common that agents are not able to reach a specific location. By creating a Connection you can tell the navigation system that this location in space is still reachable; and can accessible using a specific Action like jump or crawl etc...
Each connection is defined by a starting point and an ending point located on the navigation Map and are usually uni directional. But, in some cases; the agent might be allowed to also come back the way they came from. For this case the connection can be marked as bidirectional (ie: The agent can jump on a roof and is able to jump back down).
