Destroy / Avoid Obstructions | AI Series Part 37




Published: 08 Mar 2022

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.
