    how to check the navmesh agent is reach the destination or not?


    public Transform target;

    NavMeshAgent agent;
    // Use this for initialization
    void Start ()
    {

    agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent> ();

    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update ()
    {
    agent.SetDestination (target.position);
    }


    if(reached )

    ///do some action


    so how can i check if reached the target?

    I would rather set the agent's destination every x frames instead of every update. Anyway; this should get you going (untested though)

    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2. [SerializeField]float destinationReachedTreshold;
    3. Vector3 target;
    4.  
    5. void SetTarget(Vector3 position) {
    6.   target = position;
    7.   agent.SetDestination(target);
    8. }
    9.  
    10. void Update() {
    11. CheckDestinationReached();
    12. }
    13.  
    14. void CheckDestinationReached() {
    15.   float distanceToTarget = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, target);
    16.   if(distanceToTarget < destinationReachedTreshold)
    17.   {
    18.    print("Destination reached");
    19.   }
    20. }

    You should be using Vector3.squareMagnitude rather than Vector3.Distance() as it's much more efficient. Especially important when it's running each frame.

    You should use the .remainingDistance property instead of the Euclidean distance - the path will typically be longer.
    To illustrate a problem with using the Euclidean distance : if the target is on the other side of a wall right next to your character the distance might be 1 unit - but the path to get there might be much longer (e.g. because you have to go through a door to get there)
