Navmesh Agents: Bad pathing, and walking into things

Hey there,

I was hoping that I could get some advice for some Navmesh Agent oddities that I'm getting.

The Navmesh is baked using all default settings, and using the new component based navmesh system, and I use a lot of carved non-moving obstacles.

The issue I'm getting are as follows: 1) My agents often times just get stuck in a spot and sway around wildly like they're tied to the end of a rope and cannot escape 2) They often times choose the most stupid path, and instead of going directly to a point will often go out of their way to double, or even triple the path by going around things. 3) They walk into my carved obstacles and just keep trying to move through it instead of going around.

The agents are set to medium for obstacle avoidance, and I change their priority using a coroutine every minute or so, which works really well to get them to avoid each other... They hardly ever walk into other agents, but very often will just sit their walking against a wall that has a carved obstacle on it.

It is probably worth noting that my script for controlling the Agents will get the closest point on the navmesh close to their destination, then calculate and set their path. Once their path is set I then run a coroutine that sets their destination vector every few seconds (in an attempt to stop it going bad), and then when they stop moving I check to make sure they're actually close to their destination, and if they're I set their destination vector again.

Has anyone got any advice for me? And perhaps a good method to make sure an agent does not get stuck.

Cheers!
