So, I know the help file says many times not to do this, but it seems to work great for me. When you build a building in my game, I immediately set up the object for Dark AI so it will be recognized as an obstacle. I don't seem to notice any significant slow-down other than maybe a slight, temporary drop in FPS. Should I be worried about using this command, or is there a better way to do what I'm doing?

Well, If it is working for you then don't worry about it. But just a few seconds ago after reading your post, I thought about making the buildings you create in your game neutral entities, and disable movement and turning on the building so it wouldn't move or look around, this would allow you to add buildings dynamically (without slowdowns) with your other objects going around them as if it were an obstacle . Funny how I never thought of this until I read your post .

The Pokemon Engine is still alive.

Hahaha. Yeah, I thought of that I think but it sounded wrong or something. But you're right, it probably would work. Thanks!

Yea it works fine for me too. The reason it says that it's not supported is probably because it can cause minor bugs (i don't know?)

However if you add an obstacle on an ai entity, it will automatically try to avoid it and move away from the obstacle.
