Question Prevent Navmesh Agent collision "jittering" if I spawn a lot

So I have a script which clones multiple copies of my navmeshagent ("player").

However if I spawn too many at once they spawn at the same location so immediately collide and "jitter" from the spawn location.

What's the best way to spawn them in a manner which prevents this kind of collision.

My object instantiation code

Code (CSharp):

1.                 for (int i = 0; i < numberWeHaveToInstantiate; i++)
2.                 {
3.  
4.                     clone = Instantiate(toClone, other.gameObject.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
5.                     clone.gameObject.name = $"Player(Clone {i + gameTracker.currentNumberOfPlayers + 1}";
6.  
7.                 }

 

that's happening because you spawn them all on top of one another. You would need to find a spot on the NavMesh to spawn them that does not have another active NavMeshAgent on it. A crude approach may be to choose your spawn location, use the Physics.OverlapXXX API to see if there is a NavMeshAgent there, and move farther out and try again if there is an Agent occupying that space. I'm sure there's a more efficient way
