Navmesh not available

[SpiderMack]

Hi,

Is navmesh back and available soon in Gen2 ?
I would like to test it

Thanks.

ill take a quick look at it today and see what needs done with it..
i think its just the visualisation which is broken

It appears navmesh is still working, just forgot how to use it lol

In order to place navmesh across surfaces, these surfaces need marked as static as there's no point in having navmesh on a moving entity lol

So select the entity that are the environment, go to the properties, set them static and then generate navmesh.
It does crash though when trying to place path points for testing purposes.

Plus the editor is a tad awkward to use it seems and needs some work to match the rest of the engine

But it is working

Here are some starting code functions:

Code: Select all

function createNavmeshAgent()
   navmesh.addEntity(obj);
   navmesh.showAgentDebug(obj, 1);
   navmesh.setAgentMaxSpeed(obj, 5);
end


function to use:
navmesh.setAgentMaxSpeed(moveSpd);
navmesh.setDestination(obj, destination.x, destination.y, destination.z);

Note: API for navmesh seems to not be fully written out. but again, like the rest, this will all be updated for release

Some examples will be put together for release

But path points and navmesh are two different systems ? One should not make crash the other

Visualisation is important otherwise you don't know what looks like the walkable surface.
I hope visualisation will be back for next Gen 2 Beta

as i mentioned, navmesh is actually working:

You need to set the entities are static in order for them to be picked up by the navmesh system.

This is not the spline path i am talking about, but the testing for navmesh to show a path of quickest route through an environment.
Its this option in the navmesh editor.

Hope this helps clear this up
