NavMesh.CalculatePath return value

Hi!

The API page for NavMesh.CalculatePath states that the return value is "True if a path is found".

This doesn't really tell the whole story. CalculatePath returns true as long as it can find a partial path - so if the created path's status is "PathPartial", you still get a true return value.

This has confused me a couple of times, and I have seen some questions over on Answers about this. After all, if you don't have a complete path, you can't reach the destination.

I think somethink like this would be a clearer documentation:

Returns
bool True if a path (Complete or Partial) is found.

 

Hi. Thanks for the report!

I've updated the docs following your suggestion and you should see the change in the near future.

 

Thank you for the quick response!
