NavMeshAgent.CalculatePath

Parameters

Returns

bool True if a path is found.

Description

Calculate a path to a specified point and store the resulting path.

This function can be used to plan a path ahead of time to avoid a delay in gameplay when the path is needed. Another use is to check if a target position is reachable before moving the agent.

    var target: Transform;

    private var agent: NavMeshAgent;

    function Start () {
        agent = GetComponent.<NavMeshAgent>();
        var path: NavMeshPath;
        agent.CalculatePath(target.position, path);

        if (path.status == NavMeshPathStatus.PathPartial) {
            // The target cannot be reached...
        }
    }

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform target;
    private NavMeshAgent agent;
    void Start()
    {
        agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
        NavMeshPath path = new NavMeshPath();
        agent.CalculatePath(target.position, path);
        if (path.status == NavMeshPathStatus.PathPartial)
        {
        }
    }
}
