Unity Script Reference – NavMeshAgent

NavMeshAgent Inherits from Behaviour

Navigation mesh agent.

Variables

destination	Destination to navigate towards.
stoppingDistance	Stop within this distance from the target position.
velocity	The current velocity of the NavMeshAgent component.
nextPosition	The next position on the path.
steeringTarget	The current steering target - usually the next corner or end point of the current path. (Read Only)
desiredVelocity	The desired velocity of the agent including any potential contribution from avoidance. (Read Only)
remainingDistance	Remaining distance along the current path - or infinity when not known. (Read Only)
baseOffset	The relative vertical displacement of the owning GameObject.
isOnOffMeshLink	Is agent currently positioned on an OffMeshLink. (Read Only)
currentOffMeshLinkData	The current OffMeshLinkData.
nextOffMeshLinkData	The next OffMeshLinkData on the current path.
autoTraverseOffMeshLink	Automate movement onto and off of OffMeshLinks.
autoBraking	Automate braking of NavMeshAgent to avoid overshooting the destination.
autoRepath	Attempt to acquire a new path if the existing path becomes invalid.
hasPath	Does the agent currently have a path. (Read Only)
pathPending	A path is being computed, but not yet ready. (Read Only)
isPathStale	Is the current path stale. (Read Only)
pathStatus	Query the state of the current path.
path	Set or get a copy of the current path.
walkableMask	Specifies which NavMesh layers are passable (bitfield). Changing walkableMask will make the path stale (see isPathStale).
speed	Maximum movement speed.
angularSpeed	Maximum rotation speed in (deg/s).
acceleration	Maximum acceleration.
updatePosition	Should the agent update the transform position.
updateRotation	Should the agent update the transform orientation.
radius	Agent avoidance radius.
height	Agent height.
obstacleAvoidanceType	The level of quality of avoidance.
avoidancePriority	The avoidance priority level.

Functions

SetDestination	Sets or updates the destination. This triggers calculation for a new path.
ActivateCurrentOffMeshLink	Enables or disables the current off-mesh link.
CompleteOffMeshLink	Follow the current OffMeshLink.
Warp
Move	Apply relative movement to current position.
Stop	Stop movement of this agent along its current path.
Resume	Resumes the movement along the current path.
ResetPath	Clears the current path. Note that this agent will not start looking for a new path until SetDestination is called.
SetPath	Assign path to this agent.
FindClosestEdge	Locate the closest NavMesh edge.
Raycast	Trace movement towards a target postion in the NavMesh. Without moving the agent.
CalculatePath	Calculate a path to a specified point and store the resulting path.
SamplePathPosition	Sample a position along the current path.
SetLayerCost	Sets the cost for traversing over geometry of the layer type.
GetLayerCost	Gets the cost for traversing over geometry of the layer type.

Inherited Functions

GetComponent	Returns the component of Type type if the game object has one attached, null if it doesn't.
GetComponentInChildren	Returns the component of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children using depth first search.
GetComponentsInChildren	Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children.
GetComponents	Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject.
CompareTag	Is this game object tagged tag?
SendMessageUpwards	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object and on every ancestor of the behaviour.
SendMessage	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object.
BroadcastMessage	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children.
GetInstanceID	Returns the instance id of the object.
ToString	Returns the name of the game object.

Inherited Class Functions

operator bool
Instantiate	Clones the object original and returns the clone.
Destroy	Removes a gameobject, component or asset.
DestroyImmediate	Destroys the object obj immediately. It is strongly recommended to use Destroy instead.
FindObjectsOfType	Returns a list of all active loaded objects of Type type.
FindObjectOfType	Returns the first active loaded object of Type type.
operator ==	Compares if two objects refer to the same.
operator !=	Compares if two objects refer to a different object.
DontDestroyOnLoad	Makes the object target not be destroyed automatically when loading a new scene.
