Make Your NavMeshAgents Destroy or Avoid Obstructions | AI Series 37 Preview #Shorts

Full Tutorial: https://youtu.be/fBu4_psgTXs

As always, all code from this video is available on GitHub: https://github.com/llamacademy/ai-series-part-37

Learn how to make your NavMeshAgents break down obstructions that block their path! In this tutorial video you will learn how to make your agents consider if a particular path is worth going through by breaking down the obstructions or if pathing around them is more worthwhile.

This is done through some trickery on the NavMesh and a State Machine on the Enemy.

This _is_ a more advanced tutorial that expects you are already familiar with some other concepts.

See the below links for more in-depth explanations of those topics:

⚫ Enemy State Machine Behavior (AI Series 11): https://youtu.be/3hXkdARwREo

⚫ Baking NavMesh at Runtime (AI Series 13): https://youtu.be/QPv_V4TCi8o

⚫ Optmizing NavMesh Baking at Runtime (AI Series 14): https://youtu.be/bCC5pqNT000

As usual with the AI Series, we're using the NavMesh Components: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/NavMesh-BuildingComponents.html not the built-in navigation system.
