Baking simple MeshSurface fails

Hello,

I am trying to learn about Navigation, and have some problem, baking a simple NavMesh. (See scene)
Containing a simple Cube floor and several obstacle objects. My problem is that for some objects there is no navmesh generated.



I want the agent to be able to walk on the floor and on the top of the obstacles.

One of the obstacles for which no navmesh is generated is obstacle 8, although it is a copy of object 7 (for which a navmesh exists)




Any ideas, about what could be wrong? I tried to include all info that might be useful.

thx,
Manuel

 

Don't put obstacles on surfaces that you still want to be able to walk on. The fact that block 7 gets a generated surface is strange here, all the other blocks without a surface are the expected result.

 

Hello Yandalf,

thx for your reply, but I don't understand what you mean by I should not put obstacles on surfaces that i want to walk on. I mean that is what i want an obstacle to do, prevent the agent from walking on some parts of the map.

In addition I want the agent to be able to walk on the top of the obstacles; for which no navmesh is generated.

 

Hi,

i think I do understand now what you have been referring to. So by obstacles you mean the "Nav Mesh Obstacle" component. So i should not put that component onto a scene element, because it will prevent any NavMeshSurface to generate a navmesh for that object and will curve out any nav mesh from any other surface. Is that correct?

In addition I think I found out why my obstacles 7 and 8 don't get a nav mesh. This seems to be because of the minimum navmesh size setting during backing.



I don't understand why the 'backed' mesh has this setting, thought, because before backing I set the min region size to a very low value.



Am I missing something? How to i make the Bake settings take effect?

thx,Manuel
