public bool CalculatePath (Vector3 targetPosition, AI.NavMeshPath path);

Parameters

targetPosition The final position of the path requested.
path The resulting path.

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.
