3. Use ALT+drag to add spline points. if they are purple and cannot move, see Common Troubleshooting.

4. Drag as many spline points as you need around your level, You can use multiple splines.

5. Add a navmesh to your level and expand its size to fit. you can click "P" on your keyboard to visualize it.

6. Find the Manager folder in the necessary content and drag a single instance of the BP_NPCZombie_Manager to your level.

7. Next go to your player character and add these two components, AC_SwarmLoader_Setter and AC_SwarmTarget.
