Multiple Instantiated NavMeshAgent

For reasons my code is not working as it I thought it would.

I am instantiating multiple NPCs with the script below. This script is attached to my npc prefab. Only the first instantiated npc does the patrolling. The ones that are instantiated after does nothing. They do not move or patrol the waypoints. It's as if the path or destination is not set or you cannot have multiple npc with NavMeshAgents (Not true). Can someone help me with this. See my code below.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.     public float patrolWaitTime = 5f;
3.     public float patrolSpeed = 2f;
4.     public Transform[] patrolWayPoints;
5.     private int curWaypoint = 0;
6.     private int maxWaypoint;
7.     public float minWayPointDistance = 0.1f;
8.  
9.    
10.    
11.     void Awake(){
12.         bones = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Bones");
13.         anim = bones.GetComponent<Animator> ();
14.         nm = bones.GetComponent<NavMeshAgent> ();
15.  
16.         maxWaypoint = patrolWayPoints.Length - 1;
17.  
18.     }
19.    
20.     // Use this for initialization
21.     void Start () {
22.         if (bones == null)
23.             Debug.Log ("Where is the enemy named Bones?");
24.         if (anim == null)
25.             Debug.Log ("Bones needs to have an Animator component");
26.         if (nm == null)
27.             Debug.Log ("Please attach the NavMeshAgent on Bones");
28.  
29.  
30.         player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Player");
31.         playerhealth = player.GetComponent<PlayerHealth> ();
32.         boltSpawn = GameObject.Find ("BoltSpawn");
33.    
34.     }
35.  
36.         void Update(){
37.          Patrolling ();
38. }
39.  
40.     void Patrolling(){
41.                
42.                 Vector3 tempLocalPosition;
43.                 Vector3 temWaypointPosition;
44.  
45.                 //Agents position
46.                 tempLocalPosition = transform.position;
47.                 tempLocalPosition.y = 0f;
48.  
49.                 //Current waypoints
50.                 temWaypointPosition = patrolWayPoints [curWaypoint].position;
51.                 temWaypointPosition.y = 0f;
52.  
53.                 //Is distance between the agent and the current waypoint within mid waypoint distance
54.                 if (Vector3.Distance (tempLocalPosition, temWaypointPosition) <= minWayPointDistance) {
55.                         if (curWaypoint == maxWaypoint)
56.                                 curWaypoint = 0;
57.                         else
58.                                 curWaypoint++;
59.                 }
60.  
61.                 nm.SetDestination (patrolWayPoints [curWaypoint].position);
62.                 nm.speed = patrolSpeed;
63.                 anim.SetFloat ("Speed", patrolSpeed);
64.  
65.         }

 

Any help is appreciated

 

In awake and start you scan the scene for a (one) game-object that has the tag "Bones".
If this script sits on your prefab - you should query the components of the local game object - i.e.:

nm = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();

- leaving out the 'bones' variable

 

im not sure if this will help you but it when i instantiated a NPC in range of a enemy it fired the navmesh.setdestination
and gave a error "SetDestination" can only be called on an active agent" that has been placed on a NavMesh"
so i put in start navmeshagent.enabled false; and in update navmeshagent enabled = true; and it solved my issues...see if it works for you
