i have a Z,X axis how can i get the Y on the navmesh surface

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void JumpAround()
2.     {
3.  
4.         Vector3 pointInSphare = Random.insideUnitSphere * range;
5.         pointInSphare = _thisTransform.TransformPoint(pointInSphare);
6.         pointInSphare.y = 800;
7.  
8.         Ray ray = new Ray(pointInSphare, Vector3.down);
9.         RaycastHit hit;
10.         if(Physics.Raycast(ray ,out hit, _ww,  _inThisLayer))
11.         {
12.             pointInSphare = hit.point;
13.             _thisNavMeshAgent.SetDestination(pointInSphare);
14.         }
15.     }

im trading to make a game without physics so i cant use raycast.
i want a frog to move randomly on the navmesh.
correctly im casting a ray to determine the y of the floor.
i have Z and X axis.
can i get the correct Y on the navmesh surface?

 

Instead of casting rays, you could use NavMesh.SamplePosition(pointInSphere) to get a point on the NavMesh.
Just generate your random point there and immediately use SamplePosition, no need to first set it relative to thistransform or anything like that.

 

thank you for your reply
how do i access the navmesh?
when i write this
[SerializeField] private NavMesh _navMesh;
i have an error "cannot declare variable of static type"

 

Like it says in the error: NavMesh is a static class you can simply access from anywhere using "NavMesh.WantedMethod".
You don't make NavMesh variables. Think of static classes like a singular object that exists somewhere in the game and can be easily accessed using simply the class name.

 

ok good
you are so helpful!
now im using the new Navmesh Surface
and i have 5 different Navmesh Surfaces bakes
how dose it knows witch one i to look for?
that is why i wanted to "SerializeField"

 

Unfortunately Unity will always sample with the first NavMesh it holds in memory, there's no way to differentiate here. The NavMesh class was never rebuilt to account for multiple NavMeshes in a scene, which only became possible when they added NavMeshComponents.

 

so i have the new NavMesh scripts that came with the "NavMeshSurface"
>>>>NavMeshLink
>>>>NavMeshVolume
>>>>NavMeshModifier
anything can help me?

correctly the Ground is under "Ground" layer,
and the NavMesh.SamplePosition can detect it if i set the [serializefield] _inThisLayer. = "Ground" layer.
witch is wired cos:

1. The Ground is under "Ground" layer.
   AND
2. i have nothing under "UI" layer.
