Navigation Mesh Introduction

From Waypoints to NavMesh

NavMesh Agents

Following a Player on a NavMesh and Setting up Off-Mesh Links

In this project you will be introduced to navigation meshes and learn to use them in a game environment to move characters between goals.  You will develop AI algorithms that command characters to find the path between their current location and destination using the navigation mesh as the waypoint system.  The waypoint mecanics in the previous section will be reworked to use a navigation mesh rather than predefined straight lines between points.  This will make for more dynamic and intelligent appearing non-player characters.

In this tutorial students will learn how to program an NPC to follow the player character around on a NavMesh and how to setup off mesh links to bridge gaps in the NavMesh.
