Capsule Component Affecting Navigation

I am trying to have the capsule component on my character affect the navigation by checking “Can Affect Navigation” in collision. This works for the most part but the problem I am having that if I set my capsule’s radius too close to the half height it stops applying the navarea I selected to the navigation.

Any ideas on why that is or how I can fix it? My current solution is to add a box collision and use that for the navarea but I’d rather not add a new component just for that reason.

I can verify that in 4.13.2 this is still an issue. A capsule component in which Half Height equals Radius is ignored as a navigation obstacle.

Hey RotemS,

I’ve attempted to reproduce your issue, but I’m not seeing the same results.

Here’s what I did:

  • Created a new pawn
  • Added a capsule component
  • Ensured it was set to BlockAll collision and that CanEverAffectNavigation was set to true
  • Set the Capsule Half Height and Radius to 22
  • Placed the pawn in my level

With this, I still noticed it affecting the navigation as expected. Could you provide some screenshots of your setup, and also attempt to reproduce the issue in a clean project and provide me with the steps you’ve followed?

Thanks

Hi Sean,

Thanks for looking into it.

Steps are identical to yours.

Also added a navmesh bounds volume and set it to dynamic with modifiers.

After further testing, this issue appears to be resolved in 4.14 Preview 2. Give it a shot in that version and let me know if you still run into issues.

Have a great day!

Confirmed as resolved on 4.14 Preview 3, thanks.
