I remember in Unity that pathing was very easy to do...untill any Z-axis gets involved (like for a flying game) and back then I searched for hours on forums to find any help but never found it. Here is hoping that I have more luck in Godot.
navmeshes are for flat surfaces. you prob want to make your own follow system using ray casts if theres a flying enemy that is following you. (like raycast if the object infront is the player if not go around) unity and godot do not have volumetric nav meshes as far as I know.
I tried to join the discord to ask a question, but the discord link was broken. I was having trouble setting the position target on input to the position of the mouse, how do you do that?
seems like I missed something. my enemy is not moving and I did everything just like you said. it shows the path, but isnt moving. Im using an area3d to find the player. heres my code: extends CharacterBody3D var speed = 20 var accel = 10 var player var gravity = 5 @onready var nav :NavigationAgent3D = $NavigationAgent3D func _physics_process(delta): var direction = Vector3() if not is_on_floor(): velocity.y -= gravity * delta else: pass if player: nav.target_position = player.global_position
direction = nav.get_next_path_position() - global_position
Hey, thanks for the quick tutorial. I have a lil problem tho: my knight dude isn’t walking to the destination, but floating through the air about as high as the navmesh. I tried modifying the origin for both the CharacterBody and the Agent, but he still refuses to use the actual ground.
Following this tutorial, my character is floating above the ground, as your character is. Is there a way to generate the navigationMesh so, that the character is actually on the ground and uses its collision shape for colliding with the ground?
Mh, I tried to apply the same principals to a navmesh baked from a GridMap. The Baking works fine but the collision seems to have some problems, such as the capsule going through the floor and such. Ill try to find a fix. I seem to be getting different results based on the y value of the Vector. I assumed that wouldnt matter. Does it always have to be a target on the ground? If so, how do you deal with slopes?
thx for the video it helped me alot . but i cant quite wrap my head around how did you refrence the target in your script . i am quite new to 3d godot s
I think I missed where the target is declared in the script. Is it possible to make the character patrol between various points using the navigation agent?
hey i tried to follow the code for this but i got these errors, "Line 11:Identifier "Global" not declared in the current scope. Line 16:Identifier "velocity" not declared in the current scope.

in this video, the creator of the video created his own custom autoload/global script called "Global". it does not exist in Godot by default, which is why you cant access it. basically what it does is contain the target location of the player in a variable that is globally accessible. i chose not to do this in my own project, and instead gave my player a "target" variable that is updated every physics tick by a script at the head of the scene. the head script uses the simple code: func _physics_process(delta): $Player.target = $Marker3D.position as you can see, i've made it so that the position of a Marker3D is set as the target location for the character to move to. so, instead of "nav.target_position = Global.target.position" like in the video, my code says "nav.target_position = target". it comes to the same conclusion but with different methods. you're welcome to do it any way you like. as for the other errors, it sounds to me like your player character isn't a CharacterBody3D. because of this, it doesnt have access to variables and functions contained in the CharacterBody3D class.
I tried to put this in a test and in the script viewer it comes back with "Identifier "nav" not declared in the current scope" I have the object that acts as the floor with falls set as it's own scene, would that change the process I need to take to get this to way?
Hey i tried making the path finding towards the player then it did not worket it says on line 12 or "nav.target_position = global.target.global_position" that "identifier global not declared in the current scope" but i made the target an marker3D so if there id anything that you might know to be wrong or any way i could get some help.

@@abradotcs thank you! but now i am having the issue where the agent is running into the obstacles, i have a static body on the objects and not sure why its doing that
You just need to call bake_navigation_mesh on your NavigationRegion and it should rebake it. Becareful doe don't call it too often it could lower your fps significantly.
@@abradotcs thank you for the reply. But my problem is that my map is quite big and thus baking takes time.

I am trying to build an RTS game actually and i am a complete noob with some programming background. So how do i suggest i handle my problem? Any tips will be much appreciated
@@TheEshanDas The navigation agent has a avoidance function toggle (defaults off). Then it will avoid any navigation into a NavigationObstacle node, which can be added to any model/body in the game similar to a collision mesh.

"Global" isn't declared in the current scope.
"Global" is generally used as a custom made autoloaded script, which I assume is what he's using here. If you're not familiar with autoloading scripts, I suggest taking a few steps back from this video and learning about those first.
You did not show the Target script.
"Global" not declared in current scope
Please explain, what is this target node that just appeared in your scene tree?
for me the exit say: Identifier "global" not declared in the current scope. what ?
yea it says same for me
Just type "var Global"
You seriously just saved my game! thx!!
I am glad :D
Thank you for such a simple and straightforward video! :)
Is the "target" code supposed to have something to make the "global.target.global_position" not become a error?
Hi did you find a solution? Update Solution is in "Robin_H.I
" Discusion, a bit downer in the comments. Target was not specified
You never show how target_position is defined in your globals
In the target script in a process function. Global.target_positioning = transform.origin
nav.target_position = player.global_position

add await get_tree().physics_frame in your physics process before setting the target position for the navigation agent.
