Great content, helped me a lot, keep it up!

Thanks for this video! Throughout the years I've implemented A* myself, then years later I just pulled in some non-Unity-specific pathfinding libraries. But once this is set up it's much simpler and hands-off, and I'm hoping it it's as performant as the 3d nav mesh tools as well.

Thank you i was making a game jam and it was all doing well, i needed to do a navmesh but I spent hours trying to figure out how i can do this, i tried brackeys navmesh, but the agent was stupid it could pass through objects and with that tutorial you saved my life mate👊

Thanks for the video! Is there a way to change the Min Region Area on this 2D NavMesh surface? I tried going to Window > AI > Navigation and changing it there (like with a 3D NavMesh), but it didn't seem to update the 2D one in my scene when I re-baked.

Ok this is cool. Can this astar pathfinding system work for obstacles that are not based off of squares or a tilemap? Like polygon or circle obstacles? So the NavMeshModifier, if I put that on non-tilemap object, can I define a shape on that object to apply the non-walkable property too, if that makes sense?

can you bake this to game objects or does it have to be tiles??

Do you need a "Walkable Ground" in order for the agent to move on it? I basically have a maze (made of tiles) and that will be "Not Walkable" but do not have anything within the maze, the agent should be able to walk within the walls of the maze, right?

Update: I made it work, boy was that a mess or what...I had my Tilemaps all messed up, it got super tricky because I pasted my version of "Wall tiles" on the "Space (my version of "Ground")" tilemap...which really confused the heck out of me since the monster kept going right through it. I am building PacMan from scratch & now I have managed to get it working - the monster traverses in every nook and cranny like a boss! There was another really "epic" problem....Since its PacMan, my maze needs to only allow linear movement to the monsters & the gap between maze walls was too less for the algorithm to detect movable paths...until I discovered the nifty attribute inside the "Advanced" settings of the NavMeshModifier which allows you to change voxel size and make it super accurate at the cost of higher processing power - boy did that work like a charm or what! Blinky now traverses even the smallest gaps with ease, thank you so much for this! :D Sorry for the long post. xD

Is there a way to simply get the direction vector the pathfinding thinks the object should move in so you can manipulate it for more specific behaviors (like implementing pushing from other objects, changing speed, etc.)

@TheZBillDyl

3 жыл бұрын

You should be able to just add a collider to the agent and the agents should no longer phase into each other. As for specific behaviors, im sure theres a way. I think you can access specific nodes in the path that it calculated so you could calculate the direction vector from that

Yes! I think your issue is something to do with the way ur instantiating the prefab. If I were to make a prefab enemy, Id make it so a Game Manager (or an AI Spawner) spawns the Ai. The AI, in its own movement script, finds the player by its tag and gets it's transform. That transform is then made as the target! (Thats a rough idea of how id do it)

Absolute life saver. You desver more likes and views than this. Thank you SO much.
