Unity NavMesh Tutorial - Basics

[@OdysseyHome-Gaming]

For those following the tutorial who are new to Unity3D. Adding the box collider to the ground object is an essential step. The tutorial makes it seem optional during explanation of what "Use geometry --> physics colliders" setting of the navemeshsurface component does (2:19), but it's latter required for the raycast to hit the floor. If you forget this step (like I initially did) you will only be able to move your player by clicking the player during play mode.

[@MaxBabilunga]

man, thank you! It really does look like it's optional

Excellent tutorial on yet another great feature. I really appreciate how much Unity does, I gave building my own engine a go for about 8 months and it is a ton of work, finally caved into Unity and I'm glad. Now I really appreciate all these little things that the engine does.

[@user-dm1pr2qn5c]

[@pirulainen991]

I have to say, thanks a bunch Brackeys for your effort to put together such informative tutorials! I have learned so much from you, getting a better and better game designer. So once again, a big thanks!

[@Crashtopher]

Nice video as usual. Initially I did not add a box collider to the ground as he did because the NavMesh was using geometry rather than physics colliders to bake. However, it took me a minute to realize this breaks the raycast from the camera to the mouse position because the object needs a collider for the raycast to return true. Just a tip if your NavMeshAgent seems unresponsive to input.

[@FredrikBusklein]

Thanks man, couldn't figure out why it didn't work, now I just feel dumb.

Again thank you

[@hidemat5141]

Also, don't forget to add a collider to your terrain, otherwise the Ray won't hit anything.

[@igorklukin4126]

That's what missed! Thank you for the comment. I skipped that part, because it looked like Brackeys made a collider just to show that it also could be used in NavMesh Baking.

question: how do you access the navmeshsurface component? I can't find it anywhere

[@brethogan3832]

So they kind of changed where to find it. There is a simple version you kind under: window - AI - Navigation. To find the more advanced version Brackeys is using here, in the Navigation menu, there is an experimental package URL at the bottom of the window.

Why you have to import a NavMeshComponent when you have it already integrated? Is this a new System?

MadAurion Yes this is a pack of work-in-progress updates to the basic navigation system. It's still in development which is why it's not part of the main Unity software.

If you want to make a simple map like in the tutorial you should just make a bunch of cubes and size them accordingly. Or you can download ProBuilder from the Asset Store for free, which can help you make simple maps easy

To use the NavMesh Surface component, navigate to GameObject > AI > NavMesh Surface. This creates an empty GameObject with a NavMesh Surface component attached to it. A Scene can contain multiple NavMesh Surfaces. I got this from the unity scripting api

I then searched google for the Navmesh surface tool and how to get it. I was taken to a page called Unity manual... and it just instructed on how to use the navmesh, and I thought.. well, screw this I'll do something else.. and I see, this github link that sends me to a github link with the components, and I thought, well it is from unity, maybe Brackeys's link was just out of date or something. I download it and I get the same thing.. If you can help me please reply to this comment, and also here is some information about my pc and my unity application. I have Unity 5.6.5f1, I have a laptop, windows 7, 32bit and it isn't very good, but good enough, I suppose. Thank you for reading all of this and I hope you can find a solution to my problem.
