When I print out the get_next_location() it seems to reference the agent node rather than the PatrolPath1 node which is just a standard 3D node. I do have the documentation on hand and have been reading through it, seems straightforward but I haven't been able to make anything happen yet with movement for some odd reason. I think I'm not setting the movementTarget variable correctly but at the same time I've got that next location problem.

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/navigation/navigation_using_navigationagents.html

var speed = 10
var movementDelta

func _ready():
	SetMovementTarget(patrolPath1.global_transform.origin)
	
func SetMovementTarget (movementTarget):
	navigationAgent.set_target_location(movementTarget)
	
func _physics_process(delta):
	
	movementDelta = speed * delta
	var currentLocation = global_transform.origin
	var nextLocation = navigationAgent.get_next_location()
	var customVelocity = (nextLocation - currentLocation).normalized() * movementDelta
	navigationAgent.set_velocity(customVelocity)
func _on_navigation_agent_3d_velocity_computed(safe_velocity):
	velocity = safe_velocity
	move_and_slide()

  • Found the answer in this video at the timestamp, I had no idea the hierarchy setup had changed as well so no wonder there was no movement happening it was because there was no baking LOL, that's why the agent wasn't moving.

Double checked with print that the movementTarget was setting correctly and as it turns out it is, so it looks like it's specifically to do with set target location somehow, there just seems to be no movement despite me following the documentation.
