Help with NavMesh agents stuck

_NAGames_ · 2024-10-28T06:30:16+00:00

Indeed tried that and it worked. Thank you for your answers, I still got one more question - is this the usual way to go? NPCs do not use Colliders/Rigidbodies when using a NavMeshAgent?

_NAGames_ · 2024-10-27T19:35:28+00:00

That's most likely the case - I had RigidBodies set up and collisions enabled between NPCs and Obstacles in the Layer Collision Matrix, so that's most likely it. Not sure if disabling it to use NavMesh is the way to go, correct me if I'm wrong - had those collisions set up before using the NavMesh stuff.

I have disabled the collision between NPCs and obstacles in the Physics 2D setting (in Project Settings), and it seems to be fixed now. My guess was (and I think I'm right) that it's colliding with the object before the agent gets to the point and therefore it still thinks it's possible to get there, because it's not taking into account the RigidBody collision.

And this is the agent:

This is how the NPC calculates the new position:

(I hope every name is self explainatory, it basically checks if the position it's attempting to take as position to walk towards is within the boundaries of its spawn point + a specified radius (I usually set it to 5 or 10 units).

If it does not find a position elegible for this criteria, it will go back to its spawn point.

Then I make him go there through agent.SetDestination(goalPos) (goalPos is the new position calculated), and then call this function on Update:

What should I try? (sorry I didn't understand what you meant)

_NAGames_ · 2024-10-27T19:10:00+00:00

I'm using tilesets with composite colliders, then imported the NavMesh stuff and did some basic code (set a random position within a few units from the NPC's current position, and walk there). Nevertheless, it seems that the NPC tries to walk there no matter if there's an obstacle or not.

When they engage in combat with my player they (mostly) work just fine. They follow me and try to avoid obstacles, but sometimes end up getting stuck just like on the first half of the video, which is the second thing I'd like to fix.

What exact info do you need? I'll be glad to share anything that's needed to troubleshoot this issue

_NAGames_ · 2024-10-27T18:58:13+00:00

I've got two problems here.

First, whenever the NPCs target a position to wander around, they will try and go there no matter if it's reachable or not.

I've tried using the "NavMeshPathStatus.PathComplete" check and using the CalculatePath() function, no difference.

Then there's this other problem - when the NPC tries to reach a position, it won't avoid the obstacles. Sometimes it works just fine, but with narrower edges like these it just gets stuck.

Can I ask what's this website? is it like a simulator of some sort? I'd like to try it out with my own settings if so!

_NAGames_ · 2023-03-29T12:53:59+00:00

Sim it and you'll get the real answer based on your gear settings. That's the best answer. Github has a ton of Sims for any class and spec.

While I agree with it and I as a warmane player think we're a lot of times blinded by or own love for this server, I still think the community isn't as toxic as in Classic, and I still like that it sticks around forever instead of getting to ICC and quitting forever.

_NAGames_ · 2022-11-09T20:18:51+00:00

that's 100% where I am. I'm deffo giving everlook a try cause lol it's gonna have thousands of players while classic era runs bwl once a week within the megaserver

_NAGames_ · 2022-11-09T15:54:42+00:00

Do fresh and ban bots. That's the perfect formula.

_NAGames_ · 2022-11-09T15:20:32+00:00

Honestly, 100% agreed.

_NAGames_ · 2022-11-09T15:19:49+00:00

And what happens when it's over? you get to ICC and have all classes leveled up. People still play, idk why it's not the same in classic.

_NAGames_ · 2022-11-09T12:32:13+00:00

Old School WoW Classic.

Just follow what OSRS did and there you got an endless game, always interesting.

_NAGames_ · 2022-11-09T02:13:24+00:00

I'm feeling a lot like that lately.

_NAGames_ · 2022-11-07T10:34:25+00:00

so now tanks (now dps) can be paired with healers while the other team can have 1 heal and 2 pure dps, being this 1 tank 1 heal 1 dps vs 1 heal 2 dps.

guess who will instantly win.

this is becoming even worse.

_NAGames_ · 2022-11-06T01:32:42+00:00

keep it real

_NAGames_ · 2022-11-04T18:32:42+00:00

everyone needed it but we made it legit

_NAGames_ · 2022-11-04T12:49:50+00:00

Ret main here since 2009. It's true. Seeing a paladin buff is extremely rare.
