Any way to return to the navigation mesh?

Hi @jwatte and @chrudimer

I was testing a few days your solutions and both were very helpful.
Thank you very much for your help.

Solution 1:

Any way to return to the navigation mesh?

Hi, I think it can still move with directly move to. So you could find the ‘best’ point that is inside the navmesh and directly move towards that. To find such a point, you could use an EQS query (generate points on the navmesh) and then score or filter them by e.g. Z-Distance and Distance. To check whether it has left the navmesh, you could try to project the bots location to the navmesh using ProjectPointToNavigation (with only some Z-Distance in the query extent), if that fails then it shoul…

First, this typically happens when you haven’t configured the navmesh correctly for your AI character capabilities (appropriate radius, appropriate path planning, etc.) You may want to adjust the navmesh (and maybe add invisible blockers) until this doesn’t happen. Second, you can store the last point the character was on the navmesh inside an occasional tick(), and return to that point if the character ever finds itself outside the mesh.

Seem this fixed the capsule stuck problem in the wall edges. It is a property of Character Movement Component. Perch Radius threshold: [Captura de pantalla 2024-04-15 102608] In my case puting the same radius as the Capsule Component seems to work perfect. Now, I’m going to implement and test the solutions given by @jwatte and @chrudimer to return to the NavMesh. I’ll let you know about it. Thank you so much !!
