Class RecastMeshObj Extends VersionedMonoBehaviour

Public

Explicit mesh object for recast graphs.

Sometimes you want to tweak the navmesh on a per-object basis. For example you might want to make some objects completely unwalkable, or you might want to special case some objects to remove them from the navmesh altogether.

You can do this using the RecastMeshObj component. Attach it to any object you want to modify and configure the settings as you wish.

Using the RecastMeshObj component you can:

  • Exclude an object from the graph completely.

  • Make the surfaces of an object unwalkable.

  • Make the surfaces of an object walkable (this is just the default behavior).

  • Create seams in the navmesh between adjacent objects.

  • Mark the surfaces of an object with a specific tag (see Working with tags).

Adding this component to an object will make sure it is included in any recast graphs. It will be included even if the Rasterize Meshes toggle is set to false.

Using RecastMeshObjs instead of relying on the Rasterize Meshes option is good for several reasons.

  • Rasterize Meshes is slow. If you are using a tiled graph and you are updating it, every time something is recalculated the graph will have to search all meshes in your scene for ones to rasterize, in contrast, RecastMeshObjs are stored in a tree for extremely fast lookup (O(log n + k) compared to O(n) where n is the number of meshes in your scene and k is the number of meshes which should be rasterized, if you know Big-O notation).

  • The RecastMeshObj exposes some options which can not be accessed using the Rasterize Meshes toggle. See member documentation for more info. This can for example be used to include meshes in the recast graph rasterization, but make sure that the character cannot walk on them.

Since the objects are stored in a tree, and trees are slow to update, there is an enforcement that objects are not allowed to move unless the dynamic option is enabled. When the dynamic option is enabled, the object will be stored in an array instead of in the tree. This will reduce the performance improvement over 'Rasterize Meshes' but is still faster.

If a mesh filter and a mesh renderer is attached to this GameObject, those will be used in the rasterization otherwise if a collider is attached, that will be used.
