Ask Question

A navigation mesh is a data structure used by pathfinding algorithms to help AI agents move around complicated spaces. Navmeshes describe what part of level geometry agents are allowed to access (e.g. floors, platforms) while taking user-defined parameters and obstacles into account (floor steepness, step height, static objects).

Basically question. I've never seen this gizmo before. Though something I know is that my agent is failing at what's supposed to be doing. So, perhaps an error gizmo? But what kind of error?
