I've just seen Navmesh yesterday in a project like Hotline Miami and tried to adopt it in my 2D project but as I've seen Navmesh is not that common in 2D projects. You should make an enemy AI like in Hotline, your tuts are great! ^^
I'm making a shooting game with an up down perspective. The enemies needs to keep the direction of the sprite in line with the direction of movement while they are moving. What should I do?
After importing my spritesheet from the provided link, my full tile map does not appear the same. If I try and drag and drop a floor from tiles>floor>floor_1, then change it to tiled I get: Sprite Tiling might not appear correclty because the Sprite used is not generated with Full Rect or Sprite Mode is set to Polygon mode. To fix this, change the mesh type in the Sprite's import setting to Full Rect and Sprite Mode is either Single or Multiple.
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm having an issue where my enemy sprite disappears in the Game view once I add the NavMeshAgent component onto its game object. The sprite will still display in the Scene view, it only disappears when swapping to Game view. Not sure if you've seen this before, but any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You're welcome! Regarding the issue, can you try increasing the sprite sort order on the enemy, so it has greater order than the background sprite order (this is accessible under the SpriteRenderer component)
You're welcome! I haven't tried this, but I think it should be the same as we do it in navmesh 3d, since it is using the same component as it is, you might want to check this link: learn.unity.com/tutorial/runtime-navmesh-generation
I just get a constant error that says "missing target object for unity transform.position Edit: I switched the variable to an object variable with the value of my actual player and now it works fine
@@RomiFauzi My enemy and target have 2D collider components and also 2D Rigidbody (set to Dynamic body type). After baking, and running the game, the enemy and target are "pushed" to the sides of the scene. I suspect it is the collider but I cannot remove the colliders from the enemy and target because colliders are needed to detect some other actions in the game play. Do know what I can do to fix this? Thanks in advance
@@HY-oz2cb no you don't need, we only need during baking to define the area that are walkable and not walkable, after baking you can delete or disable as per my first reply 😉
Basically there is some collider like obstacles i want my object to go where i touch even my player will avoid the obstacles and move where i wl touch i have already done with the navigation part like baking complete but if i just use ray cast for moving object its not workiy
When I follow the "Navmesh using Tilemap" section the baking works fine if the rooms are connected via one tilemap grid. However I am trying to use this with a random dungeon generator, and upon baking after the dungeon is generating, the walkable surface only covers a single room. The rest of the rooms do not have any NavMeshData for the agents to walk on. It seems like the bake is being cut off or blocked, however there is nothing blocking the connecting paths?
To be honest, I don't have any idea what might be the cause of this, are the generated dungeon spawned as the child of the Navmesh generator component (the component that generates the navmesh), cause I remember the walkable area needs to be the child of this object.
When i go into the script i can cache the component for NavMeshAgent, but updateRotation and updateUpAxis and all other methods do not show up. Do you know why?
Thank you for your tutorial, but when the ground of my tilemap is irregular, navmesh will still create a blue ground including all squares. Even the squares that are not painted will display blue. How can I correct it?
For areas that are not painted, you will have to create a dummy collider that fits the no painted areas, and add that collider when generating the mesh.
@@mengdd6888 if the room is randomly generated, then for area without tiles, you will need to spawn transparent tile that has a collider, to be calculated as obstacle when baking.
When making this, should I only use a rigidbody or a collider? I find that having both causes the agent to just bug out. If I change the collider to a trigger it works, but I figured I would want to give the agent a physical area
you need to add a rigidbody, but make it kinematic, so the agent will handle the movement, and if you need to change the collider to trigger, there might be a collider covering the whole environment, check that, and disable it if there any.
you need to calculate this force manually, or disable the agent, and set the rigidbody to dynamic the moment the physics interactions starts, and switch it back again after...
@@RomiFauzi Gotcha. Is there a way to use the navmesh to calculate what direction to push the rigidbody in? Then maybe I can stop from setting the navmesh destination and only use the dynamic rigidbody.
yes you can use the agent.desiredVelocity, more about it can be read here: answers.unity.com/questions/252292/is-there-a-way-to-check-agent-velocity-for-navmesh.html
Thanks for this tutorial! The only problem I'm having is when I drag the tiles in they are absolutely tiny compared to the scene, but if I shrink the camera to keep the scale of the tiles the camera icon takes up the entire frame. Do you have any ideas where I'm going wrong?
You're most welcome. For that issue, you can change the pixel per unit settings in the Sprite Importer settings by selecting the PNG (image) asset in the project panel, try to lower the values to make the sprite bigger in the scene.
The strangest thing happened. I managed to get the NavMesh working, i.e. agent follows the target. Then I Clear the mesh and then Bake again, the blue overlay of the "walkable" area does not appear anymore!
When I click bake my scene view stays the same, no lines of any kind are shown idk if this is me not doing anything right but I experienced the same problem using the astar pathfinding project so I think it's some unity setting I might have turned off, anyway really interesting vid
In the scene window, do you have the Gizmos button on? If so, try clicking the little arrow next to the Gizmos button, and scrolling down to where it says Colliders (or colliders 2D, can't quite remember) - make sure the arrow next to it is also clicked.
sprite shape works, as long you've added a collider with the same shape as the sprites, because it relies on the collider shapes to define the navmesh. And tile rule also works, because the generated tile using tile rule it is basically a tile map, as long each layr of tilemap are set to the correct type in the NavMesh Modifier settings, it will define the navmesh correctly.
@@RomiFauzi Apparantly, when I remove this enemy script it works normallt.

Can we have links to other tilemaps? I want to have multifloors connected by links

You can ignore that message, or you can change it in the Sprite importer settings when selecting the PNG files from the project panel.
Can I somehow change NavMeshSurface2D shape manually? It isn't generating well.
To be honest, I'm not sure about this, you might need to check the code inside, and see if its possible or not.

how to rotate to move direction?

Can the enemies avoid going through each other? I'm making a game with multiple npcs with a collider2D each.
with agent component, each enemies should avoid each other by default.
Yes, but what if you need to animate the enemy sprite?
You can sync the navmesh agent velocity with the animator parameter that drives the idle to walk animation....
Is this plugin a safe choice for those looking for creating professional games? Like. I wonder if it causes bugs on builds and stuff.
So far from my testing it seems to work just fine, but you'll need to do more testing on your end probably.
@@RomiFauzi Thanks. I'll will. :)

Hi Romi, can I use this in a URP project or just Unity 2D?
Yes you can use it for URP, sprites and tilemap actually work the same regardless the renderer.
really good video, thanks man
You're most welcome!
can i set different costs for different tiles, or only for entire tilemap?
For different cost, I think you have to script it manually.
@@RomiFauzi yeah. 2d navmesh cant do that. Only if place different tile types on diff tilemap) so i made it via A*
The strangest thing happened. I managed to get the NavMesh working, i.e. agent follows the target. Then I Clear the mesh and then Bake again, the blue overlay of the "walkable" area does not appear anymore!
To bake you need to reenable the collider of the scene you have disabled after previous baking.

Can you use this for free? Like if I were to sell a game on Steam using this?
Yes you can, it is released under MIT license
can you make the enemy walk random patrol at first start?

are either tile rule or sprite shape, supported for this?
Yes, both are supported, you can check out the timestamp for both method, I've explained both ways in this video.
@@RomiFauzi I think you are confusing sprites with sprite shape and tile map with tile rule. they are different things.
sprite shape works, as long you've added a collider with the same shape as the sprites, because it relies on the collider shapes to define the navmesh.
