+The short answer: I don't know.
+The long answer:
+I haven't looked too much into Oni's AI code partly because it is quite large and complex (in fact it's probably the largest piece of code in Oni). I don't think AI can do more than simple tap jump but that really depends on how the AI controls the character:
+:*simply tell the character to execute an animation: that makes doing more than tap jumps impossible because there isn't a special animation for "jetpack" jump.
+:*simulate keypresses and mouse input: that means that it might possible but the AI needs to simulate holding the jump key which I have no idea if it can.
+The "simulate keypresses" method is more likely to be used in Oni. In fact I know for sure it does simulate some keypresses but I don't know if that's the only way.
+Pathfinding & stuff: I know there is something called "local movement" which may be what happens when the character is close by. This code seems to do character - environment collision detection so it may be true the pathfinding grid is ignored sometimes bacause there's not much point in AI doing collision detection if it always used the grid.
+Nice video anyway :)
