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 construct a NavMesh over a game environment and investigate the creation of nav mesh agents.  Next, students will complete the NavMesh building exercise through the setting of different agent types, restricted zones and limiting agent sizes.
