Navigation Agent ignores generated path on Navigation Mesh.

BeeTheLeaf12

The navigation agent/ enemy completely ignores the path and just walks directly towards to destination. ![

In the photo, I have wall collisons disabled, when they are enabled the navigation agent does the same thing except get's stuck on walls.

Instead of just following the path, the enemy will walk through walls and ignore path to get to destination.

please note*
I do have Avoidance enabled.

And what does your code look like? And what does your navmesh look like?

Here is a picture of the navigation mesh:

The Green dot is the enemy. The completely straight lines are the walls.

BeeTheLeaf12 You have to use the direction to the next path position as your direction. Those positions are within the navmesh.

Copied from the docs to give you an example:

	var next_path_position: Vector3 = navigation_agent.get_next_path_position()
	var new_velocity: Vector3 = global_position.direction_to(next_path_position) * movement_speed

trizZzle Thank you! This helped.

This is what my new, working code looks like.

It turns out the previous way I was making the enemy walk was not utilizing the navmesh.
