    You can drop rocks or other objects to the ground. Make sure to put it near the wall if there are going to be other people because then they are less likely to kick it around.

    It will be harder if you’re silent and your path is invisible, but it will be too inefficient. Instead, try using less “obvious pathing” methods (unlike the wall follower). For example, the “dead-end filler” method.
