[Q] How do I use just the Nav Mesh for AI collision

There was once a Trello card for AI optimization that would only use the Nav Mesh for AI collision, not collision primitives.

Did this feature make it in? And if so, is there also a way of stripping out collision primitives during cook?

Using navmesh for collision (so called “Navmesh walking”) is just a movement mode and it doesn’t transparently plug into physics queries. What I mean is that we do support using navmesh as collision, but only for character movement. The feature will be part of 4.8 release.

Thank you. Will that then just become a Tick Box option on the Character?

And if we use this, is there an easy way of stripping collision meshes from data during cook?

“Navmesh walking” is just a movement mode, and you’ll be able to pick it as character’s default movement mode. Regarding stripping off collision during cook I suggest you created a separate question regarding this.
