Connecting multiple instances of NavMesh

We have learned how to build a NavMesh, but there are cases where levels are really complex to the point of needing to divide them in several sections; sometimes, this is because there are pitfalls or because we are loading our level programmatically.

Getting ready

It is important to work on top of objects that have at least one NavMeshSurface component attached.

 

 

How to do it...

We need to connect one NavMeshSurface component to another one:

1. Locate, via the editor or code, two NavMeshSurface components to connect
2. Add the NavMeshLink component to the object that will work as the origin
3. Select the agent type that will be able to use the connection
4. Set the Start Point and End Point values
5. Repeat the previous steps for every agent type for which you need to connect the nodes

How it works...

Imagine one NavMeshSurface component working as a big node in a graph. By using the NavMeshLink component, we add an edge between two nodes. It's worth noting that the coordinates...
