Nav Mesh Bounds Best Practices

@anonymous_user_afd92cec Got a question that is a bit off topic, I hope you don’t mind.

Currently when a navmesh is streamed in, it can’t be rebuilt, I think Miesko mentioned on the stream that it was because of the missing octree when streaming it in. Are there any plans to make the streamed in nav mesh rebuildable at runtime (ie, stream in the navmesh, when an object spawned at runtime, it just rebuilds that tile only, instead of the whole navmesh)

You need dynamic navmesh then. Unfortunately dynamic navmeshes does not support streaming yet. But you can still use it with streaming levels, you will need to enable bUseFixedTilePool as mentioned in linked topic. With fixed tile pool navmesh will rebuild only areas covered by navigation volumes that is streamed in/out.

We will add proper support for streaming of dynamic navmeshes in near future.

In 4.8 version you will also have “semi-dynamic” navmeshes. It’s basically a static navmesh that supports dynamic obstacles (navigation area modifiers).
