Navigational Findings

Is NavMesh creation currently turned off in the editor? Nothing happens whatsoever when I click Build NavMesh. just wondering

Strike that, I just realized I was doing it wrong.

Josh, can you expose the NavMesh class to lua? 

I need to access an editor created Navmesh but i cant cast it and lua thinks its Entity class.

So CreateNavAgent(navmesh) fails.

navmesh = NavMesh(navmesh) or 

nav:As<NavMesh>()

Also trying to mimic the creation in code results with an error:

 

 

                navmesh = CreateNavMesh(world, 100, 64, 64, 32, 0.25, 0.4, 1.8, 0.5, 45)

CreateNavMesh(shared_ptr<World> world, const float height, const int tilesx, const int tilesz, const int tileres = 32, const float voxelsize = 0.25, const float agentradius = 0.4, const float agentheight = 1.8, const float stepheight = 0.501, const float maxslope = 45.01)

Adding to this list:

 

navagent:Stop()  is missing in lua.

Adding to this list:

In order for me to attach a NavAgent to a entity already in the world I have to move the entity to 0,0,0 and rotation 0,0,0 then attach it, then SetPosition() and SetRotation() the agent back to the normal spot for it to work. Simply creating the agent, moving it to pos and rot then attaching it causes some weird effects usually resulting in the model/entity being placed all about the map.

• Added NavAgent:Stop
• Added NavMesh() casting function
• Added the missing CreateNavMesh overload

These will be included in the next build that goes up.

When an entity is attached to an object, it's local orientation is preserved relative to the parent. This might be a design decision that should be revisited, but it is currently working as intended. I don't think you need to move the agent, the entity's global orientation at the time of attachment will turn into its relative orientation to the attached object.
