NavMeshAgent.CalculatePath

Parameters

Returns

bool True if a path is found.

Description

Calculate a path to a specified point and store the resulting path.

This function can be used to plan a path ahead of time to avoid a delay in gameplay when the path is needed. Another use is to check if a target position is reachable before moving the agent.

	var target: Transform;

	private var agent: NavMeshAgent;

	function Start () {
		agent = GetComponent.<NavMeshAgent>();
		var path: NavMeshPath;
		agent.CalculatePath(target.position, path);
		
		if (path.status == NavMeshPathStatus.PathPartial) {
			// The target cannot be reached...
		}
	}

    public Transform target;
    private NavMeshAgent agent;
    void Start() {
        agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
        NavMeshPath path;
        agent.CalculatePath(target.position, path);
        if (path.status == NavMeshPathStatus.PathPartial) {
        }
    }
