In this tutorial, you will learn how to set-up UI Navigation within your project.

The navigation system in Unity allows us to provide powerful path finding to the characters in our games very easily. In this tutorial, we cover the basics of navigation, how to create a navmesh, details of the navmesh component, creating offmesh links, and how to use Navmesh obstacles to block agent pathfinding.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to set-up UI Navigation within your project.

Unity includes a fantastic Navigation system that you can use to your advantage. In this project, Unity Navigation Fundamentals, you will cover Unity’s built-in navigation system in depth. You will learn how to work with NavMeshes, NavMeshAgents and off-mesh links. Next, you will use NavMeshObstacles to create some basic AI for your game or simulation characters. Finally, you'll learn more advanced techniques such as parabolic jumping and letting the player take control of a navigation character. When you're finished with this project, you will have a complete and thorough knowledge of Unity’s AI Navigation system for your games or simulations. To access the the assets used for this project, click the blue "Project Materials" tab on this project, or within the individual tutorial.

Unity Editor controls are designed to work optimally with a keyboard and a two- or three-button mouse. In this tutorial, you'll learn the basic controls for navigating in Unity.

Want to learn how to create paths for the characters in your games? In these recorded live sessions, we demonstrate how to implement navigation meshes and walk through the creation of a click-to-move style game.

Help your basic AI enemies find their way around your FPS level by 'baking' the Navigation Mesh (or 'NavMesh').

NavMesh Components make up the navigation system in Unity. The navigation system allows users to create characters that can intelligently move around the game world, using navigation meshes that are created automatically from your Scene geometry. Dynamic obstacles allow users to alter the navigation of the characters at runtime, while off-mesh links build specific actions like opening doors or jumping down from a ledge.

In this course, Dr Penny de Byl reveals the most popular AI techniques used for creating believable game characters using her internationally acclaimed teaching style and knowledge from over 25 years researching and working with games, computer graphics and artificial intelligence. Throughout, you will follow along with hands-on workshops designed to teach you about the fundamental AI techniques used in today's games.  You'll join in as NPCs are programmed to chase, hide, flee, patrol, shoot, race, crowd, plan and much more.
