NavMeshAgent: how to disable "push" behaviour

hi,

i have a problem with the NavMeshAgent.
my player character uses a NavMeshAgent to walk around, and my ai also uses the NavMeshAgent.
now the problem is, when the ai walks towards the player and get's close to it, it pushes the player away.
how can i stop that weird behaviour?

kind regards

 

Set the stopping distance. Use capital letters when appropriate. Read the documentation. Floss and wear a seat belt.

I set the stopping distance (affects only the destination point).
I Read the documentation and nothing solves the problem that agents push away other agents.

Avoidance priority should be your friend:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/NavMeshAgent-avoidancePriority.html

 

NavMeshObstacle is not an option.
Because, both agents would need a NavMeshObstacleComponent, but then they will also avoid themself and jag around.

The avoidance priority also did not disable the push behaviour.

What i now did, was to set the radius of the agent to a real low value. Now they can intersect (i don't care at the moment) but they do not push others away.

 

In all honesty - the built in Unity pathfinding is awful. You'd probably get more success using one of the many third party packages available.

 

I've played with a fair number of 3rd party path finding systems from the Asset Store and they all have their strong points and limitations. I have 2 shipping games that use the built in path finding and I'm happy with it. I do which there were more how to documentation available for it but, IMHO, it is usable.

 

it doesn't matter how happy you are with unity's navmesh, the only thing that matters in this post, is that it's impossible to stop the agents from pushing each others... it's also impossible to make the agents act like obastacles, and that's a harsh limitation when you want to make a RTS

 

Awesome necro!

Anyhow, you can stop them pushing by setting ObstacleAvoidanceType to NoObstacleAvoidance, although this will allow them to walk through each other.

and also walk through static objects... not good solution

 

If your capsule collider radius is greater than your agent radius not pushing them;

Walk: agent.radius = normal radius;
Stop: agent.radius = 0.001f;
