[SOLVED] navMeshPath.status always returning complete

I'm following the answer to this answer here and I'm encountering a problem. No matter what, even if it's impossible for a path to be completed, my code is always returning true.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.     bool CalculateNewPath()
3.     {
4.         navMeshAgent.CalculatePath(navigateTo, navMeshPath);
5.  
6.         if (navMeshPath.status != NavMeshPathStatus.PathComplete)
7.         {
8.             return false;
9.         }
10.         else
11.         {
12.             return true;
13.         }
14.     }

By all accounts, this should be returning false when I click an area off the navmesh or on a part of the mesh that can't be traversed to, but it always returns true. What am I doing wrong here?

 

So it turns out the problem was actually *gasp* a bug with how Unity was presenting my navmesh, and the code works near perfectly. HOWEVER, I did need to tweak my code a bit to make it account for static objects that weren't a part of my navmesh. Here's what the new system looks like:

Code (CSharp):

1.     public bool CalculateNewPath()
2.     {
3.         bool navMeshPathStatus = false;
4.         bool navMeshSamplePosition = false;
5.  
6.         navMeshAgent.CalculatePath(navigateTo, navMeshPath);
7.  
8.         if (navMeshPath.status != NavMeshPathStatus.PathComplete)
9.         {
10.             navMeshPathStatus = false;
11.         }
12.         else
13.         {
14.             navMeshPathStatus = true;
15.         }
16.  
17.         NavMeshHit hit;
18.         if (NavMesh.SamplePosition(navigateTo, out hit, 0.25f, NavMesh.AllAreas))
19.         {
20.             navMeshSamplePosition = true;
21.         }
22.         else
23.         {
24.             navMeshSamplePosition = false;
25.         }
26.  
27.         if (!navMeshPathStatus || !navMeshSamplePosition)
28.         {
29.             return false;
30.         }
31.         else
32.         {
33.             return true;
34.         }
35.     }

As you can see, I now use NavMesh.SamplePosition to determine if an object is actually a valid point on the navmesh. This has a few caveats for use cases outside of what I'm doing (for instance, it doesn't handle edges super well) but for the purposes of my RTS it works fine.

 

Thanks! Just what i needed.

 

But there is a problem! SamplePosition only checks, if the destination point, is a valid point on the navmesh, not if an object is able to reach it. If you have a terrain with unreachable hight platforms, then those platforms are also a valid point on the mesh (if the area is baked blue), but if isolated, there is no way, a valid path can be calculated.
