| targetPosition | The desired end position of movement. |
| hit | Properties of the obstacle detected by the ray (if any). |
bool True if there is an obstacle between the agent and the target position, otherwise false.
Trace a straight path towards a target postion in the NavMesh without moving the agent.
This function follows the path of a "ray" between the agent's
position and the specified target position. If an obstruction is
encountered along the line then a true value is returned and
the position and other details of the obstructing object are stored
in the hit parameter. This can be used to check if there is a clear
shot or line of sight between a character and a target object.
This function is preferable to the similar Physics.Raycast
because the line tracing is performed in a simpler way using the navmesh
and has a lower processing overhead.
