NavMeshPathStatus is always PathComplete

Consider the following Code:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. NavMeshPath navMeshPath = new NavMeshPath();
3. if (navMeshAgent.CalculatePath(navMeshTarget, navMeshPath))
4. {
5.         switch (navMeshPath.status)
6.         {
7.             case NavMeshPathStatus.PathComplete:
8.                 Debug.Log("Complete");
9.                 break;
10.  
11.             case NavMeshPathStatus.PathPartial:
12.                 Debug.Log("Partial");
13.                 break;
14.  
15.             case NavMeshPathStatus.PathInvalid:
16.                 Debug.Log("Invalid");
17.                 break;
18.         }
19. }
20.  

Even though I set the navMeshTarget vector outside a baked navmesh or inside a NavMeshObstacle, my switch-statement always land on NavMeshPathStatus.PathComplete.

IIRC, I had a different behaviour prior to the latest update...?

 

Hello, this is a little bit late but, I ran into the same problem. After a bit of experimentation, it seems that navMeshPathStatus is for a completely different purpose than it suggests (most likely to do with the NavMesh itself and not the NavMeshAgent's path).

What you are trying to do is find out if the NavMeshAgent has reached its destination. For that, try something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.         if (!NavMeshAgent.pathPending && !NavMeshAgent.hasPath) {
2.             Debug.Log ("I have reached my destination!");
3.             // Code that you want to execute when this event occurs.
4.         }

Basically, this asks if the agent has a path or is in the process of calculating one. When the agent is at its current destination, both of these conditions are false and this is the exact moment that you want to capture. I hope this helps you and anyone else that has this issue.
