Resolved Making low priority obstacles for a Nav Agent

In my FPS game, the player is able to position barricades that block the path of the enemies to it. I want the enemies to first try to steer around such barricades, however if such thing is impossible they should instead treat barricades as non obstacles and brute force their way through it (there is a script that if they have a barricade in front of them they immediately attempt to destroy it).

I was only able to make one or the other option: Either enemies always ignore barricades, meaning placing a barricade in an open area with lots of room to steer around make enemies stop in their tracks and lose their time punching it, or making so they always try to steer around them, meaning that if the player is in a completely closed house with a single barricade at the door the enemies will keep going around the house without finding the entrance, as they see the barricade as just any other indestructible obstacle.

How do I fix that? I want to make so enemies can distinguish between low priority obstacles (ones that should preferably be steered around but if needed can be forced through) and high priority obstacles (indestructible objects where the only option is to steer around them), preferably using layers.

 

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

 

@ChrisKurhan did a great video on this.

All the tutorial videos are also linked here:

Thank you for the help. I am following this tutorial and ran into a problem, for some reason I can't reference the

NavMeshSurface

object in my

NavMeshManager.cs

script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.AI;
3.  
4. public class NavMeshManager : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public NavMeshSurface CurrentNavMesh;
7.  
8.     void Start()
9.     {
10.         CurrentNavMesh = FindObjectOfType<NavMeshSurface>();
11.     }
12.  
13.     void Update()
14.     {
15.        
16.     }
17. }
18.  

This is what appears, it's like the

NavMeshSurface

object doesn't even exist to be referenced in a script, even though I am using it just fine in my game:

 

I still didn't find a solution to this, does anyone have an idea on how to fix it?

 

So I just tried this out (put it very quickly into an existing project so forgive the few pictures to put it all together)
So I used these



and then it all appeared fine with no errors in the inspector



I'm using the navmesh github package not the standard built in one.
It's funny though when I just had 1 or 2 if the using .AI references it wouldn't work but with all 3 it does.
Hope this helps.

 

Sorry the late reply, yes this seems to help. It appears using Unity.AI.Navigation is necessary to have the NavMeshSurface, which is odd since in the tutorial (and the code in it's github) they don't use it. Thanks.
