Pathfinding is *definitely* not an easy problem to tackle. There are some nice solutions for Unity like A* (a-star) and "path" from angryAnt, but both require some degree of coding. If you wanna try to tailor your own solutio, Id try a bunch of gameobjects (working as navpoints) and the find-nearest + move towards actions. Use Unity's layer system to prevent unwanted collisions. Good luck!

I would recommend creating something outside of playmaker to run all the heavy lifting of your pathing or AI and then create actions to and listeners in PlayMaker to govern behavior.   

I could see how you could make pathfinding with playmaker, but I Dunno if it would be wise, but who knows. Maybe someone has figured out a really nice way to do it.
