Random point generator?

Hello,
Is there a function than can return a Vector3 location of a random point along any navmesh?

Thank you,

I use something like this (ignore some of the quirkiness for example the loop that was there ready for me to do stuff like testing for empty spot I haven't got round to). So I randomise the direction with the x and y negative or positive then simply generate a random number between the mindistance and maxdistance for distance away from the "from" starting point.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public static Vector3 FindLocation(Vector3 from, float mindistance, float maxdistance, bool empty)
3.     {
4.         int i = 0;
5.         float x = 0f;
6.         float z = 0f;
7.         float y = from.y;
8.         bool xneg;
9.         bool zneg;
10.         Vector3 newposition = new Vector3(x, y, z);
11.         while (i < 20)
12.         {
13.             x = UnityEngine.Random.Range(mindistance, maxdistance);
14.             xneg = (UnityEngine.Random.Range(1, 3) < 2);
15.             z = UnityEngine.Random.Range(mindistance, maxdistance);
16.             zneg = (UnityEngine.Random.Range(1, 3) < 2);
17.             newposition.x = (xneg ? (from.x - x) : (from.x + x));
18.             newposition.z = (zneg ? (from.z - z) : (from.z + z));
19.             return newposition;
20.             i++;
21.         }
22.         return newposition;
23.     }

 

How are we meant to format the code in this forum? I clicked "code editor" but it's still not indented.

 

There is also an example in the scripting API :
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AI.NavMesh.SamplePosition.html

for inserting code : click the "Insert button", the one between "Media" and "Drafts" ...

 

Thanks, I have re-edited my post.
