How To Know If NavMeshAgent Is Moving

Hi there,
Occasionally, when using a NavMeshAgent on a NavMesh, the player stops moving because he is blocked from completing his move to setDestination(). At this point, the player's animation remains walking, however, I would like it to set to idle at this point.

How can I find out if a navMeshAgent is not physically moving but the animation walk is still active? Or something along these lines.

 

Check how far the NavMeshAgent moved since the last frame. Like that you can compute the speed. If it is below a certain value, you play the idle animation, otherwise the walk animation.

 

This probably does that for you - http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/NavMeshAgent-velocity.html

Could also check how much this has changed to tell if the agent has moved - http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/NavMeshAgent-remainingDistance.html

 

I expected that someone who has more than 5000 posts is able to read the documentation before posting, that's why I didn't check it

 

Fair point. I checked for my own curiosity because I didn't know - and I only have 3000 posts

 

Yah yah yah.
Merci boucoup!
I do appreciate.

 

I cant seem to get it to work. I hate Mondays.

I have tried comparing lastPos to currentPos, remaingDistance to lastRemainingDistance and if velocity is 0. All catch a point in a path where this is true, despite it not being the desired effect. The result is a moving agent, with an idle animation.


Line 22 should be the point of interest.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.         ///TAP FOR MOVE  
3.         if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){
4.               Ray ray = Cam_Main.ScreenPointToRay(new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y + 7.1f, -18.6f));
5.               Vector3 dir = new Vector3(ray.direction.x * 100, ray.direction.y * 100, ray.direction.z * 100);
6.             RaycastHit hit;
7.             if(Physics.Raycast(ray.origin, dir, out hit, groundsLayerMask)){  
8.                 moveToPos = hit.point;//new Vector3(hit.point.x, hit.point.y, agent.transform.position.z);
9.                 dist = Vector3.Distance(agent.transform.position, moveToPos);
10.                 agent.SetDestination(moveToPos);
11.                 agentAnimator.SetFloat("Speed",0.2f);//make anim move
12.                 movementActive = true;
13.               }
14.         }
15.      
16.         if(movementActive){
17.             dist = Vector3.Distance(agent.transform.position, moveToPos);
18.             if(dist < 0.02f){
19.                 agentAnimator.SetFloat("Speed",0f);//make anim move
20.                 movementActive = false;
21.             }
22.             if(lastDist == dist && agent.velocity.x == 0 && agent.velocity.z == 0){
23.                 agentAnimator.SetFloat("Speed",0f);//make anim move
24.                 movementActive = false;
25.             }
26.          
27.             lastDist = dist;
28.         }
29.  

 

Some ppl are about quantity

 

You don't need movementActive from my point of view.

Code (csharp):

1. float velocity = agent.velocity.magnitude;
2. if (velocity > someMovementSpeedThatMakesSense) {
3.     agentAnimator.SetFloat("Speed",0.2f);
4. } else {
5.     agentAnimator.SetFloat("Speed,0f);
6. }

Like that you can get rid of everything after line 16, as well as 11 and 12.

 

thanks, just randomly looked for a solution to animate a character and this fixed all the problems i had.

 

User Tryz posted a thorough solution here that takes path existence, proximity and velocity into account:
https://answers.unity.com/questions...ts-dest.html?childToView=746157#answer-746157

Their code:

Code (CSharp):

1.  // Check if we've reached the destination
2. if (!mNavMeshAgent.pathPending)
3. {
4.      if (mNavMeshAgent.remainingDistance <= mNavMeshAgent.stoppingDistance)
5.      {
6.          if (!mNavMeshAgent.hasPath || mNavMeshAgent.velocity.sqrMagnitude == 0f)
7.          {
8.              // Done
9.          }
10.      }
11. }

 

Maybу it is easier to use just

Math.Abs(agent.velocity.x + agent.velocity.y + agent.velocity.z) < .05

?

 

You guys made my life easier.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. agent.velocity.sqrMagnitude > 0
