unity-navmesh

separate

Add AI navigation in Unity 6.3 LTS: bake a NavMesh with the AI Navigation package (NavMeshSurface), move agents with NavMeshAgent.SetDestination, and handle dynamic obstacles. Use when setting up pathfinding, making an enemy chase the player, baking navigation, or when the user mentions NavMesh, NavMeshAgent, NavMeshSurface, NavMeshObstacle, or Unity pathfinding.

When to use

• Use when an agent needs to walk/chase/patrol to a target, when baking a navigable surface,
• Use when the project has the AI Navigation package, a `NavMeshSurface` component, or scripts

When not to use

• decision logic of when/where to move
• FSMs, behaviour trees, steering
• force-driven or kinematic movement that isn't pathfinding
