NavMesh Components - can two agent types pass through each other?

Hello! So, i have two NavMesh Surfaces, one that handles Humanoid agent type, and the other one, baked without walls etc that handles Ghost agent type (so he can move through walls and such). Now i need to make those two agent types pass through each other. I can't figure out how to do it.

What I've already tried:
- setting stuff on different layers and disabling collision between any layers in ps > physics, also just in case in ps > pshysics 2d.
- setting Ghost agent's obstacle avoidance to none, makes Ghost push Humanoids instead of going through
- internet suggests setting agents' radius to a very small number - can't do that since the Humanoid type agent needs a normal radius so he can avoid obstacles as usual

Any help would be very appreciated! (maybe i should do things entirely differently?)

 

Hi,

Put ghost Agent NavMeshAgent.baseOffset to 1000 and NevMEshSurface z=1000, so ghost will fly over.
The better solution is to implement new Agent

 

How would you implement a new agent?

 

Hi @RogerW2520

On a large scale path finding consist of global and local pathing. Good news is that NavMesh has all we need for Global pathing https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AI.NavMesh.CalculatePath.html. While NavMeshAgent implement local pathing (dynamic pathing or obstacle avoidance, call it as you want) it does not expose public API very well. Also inner structure for agent is unknown.

So what we need is two features, following the path, and obstacle avoidance.
First one is trivial, https://www.habrador.com/tutorials/math/2-passed-waypoint/
Second part is tricky, but also can be solved in simple way with physics ray-casts

Al depends on purpose, skills and time.
