navmesh with Z as up

Hi,
by default the Y axis is 'Up' for the navmesh.

For my project i need to generate the navmesh with the Z axis as 'Up'.

Is there a way to achieve this?

regards,
david

 

No.

 

Are there any plans to support this? Its quite crucial for using the navmesh system in any top-down styled 2D game..

 

Id suggest to rotate the scene

 

The current 2D tools only work in the X/Y plane.
The current NavMesh only work in the X/Z plane.

There is nothing we can rotate at the moment..


The only thing we can do is having an extra GameObject for everything interacts with the navmesh in any way and manually update positions every frame between the 2D - X/Y object and the extra "3D - X/Z - only there for navmesh stuff" - object. Big performance fubar.

 

Classic Unity approach to solving problems...

 

In 2014 (the date of the post you quoted) it wasn't possible but in 2021, 7 years later you can explore the component based workflow for more functionality https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/NavMeshComponents or soon on package manager.
