Mesh left behind Nav Mesh Agent

So I have a really weird issue, the mesh is actually getting left behind the agent and sometimes teleports to the agent or doesn't move till the agent comes back to the mesh.

They are all basic agents with some movement code and have a kinematic rigidbody.

Here's what I see when I run the game and look in the scene view:

 

Im assuming that the kinemetic aspect is causing the issue. You could in code have the rigidbody location be set to the agent location.

 

It doesn't seem to be that, the agent with or without physics still has this issue and moving the rb to the agent does nothing.

 

Can you share a pic of your inspector window of the gameobject in question? And by the looks of the pictures you sent maybe the rigidbody is somehow bring caught by the other blocks ? Is the rigidbody component a child or parent of the object that holds the agent ? That might cause this issue..

 

I doubt thats the issue, as I said I doubt it has anything to do with physics, as the issue persists with and without physics (even with the colliders set as triggers and no rb attached). Anyways here's my inspector:

The rb is not a child, infact nothing is as there are no children objects.

 

All looks good to me there. Maybe one of your scripts are setting transform position or doing something weird.

 

I think I fixed it, if I set the transform.position to the navMeshAgent.nextPosition in my targeting calcualtions coroutine it works, yet if I use rb.position it doesn't work which is odd. Still thanks for recommending to set the position to the agent! I'll let you know if the issue comes back, thanks again!

 

I guess you must have set `updatePosition` to false somewhere in your code.

That would do it, I completely forgot about that. I guess I didn't realize that the agent is still active yet the gameobject isn't. Thanks!

 

I know this is old thread, but another thing that can cause this exact same thing is if the GameObject is set to static by accident when assigning static attributes for the NavMesh
