How to stop NavMeshAgent immediately?

Question

So I have a situation where I need the Agent to stop at the exact spot that he is in the moment I ask him to do so. I'm current using the NavMeshAgent.Stop() but he still slides about 0.1cm before actually stopping.

I noticed the old documentation had a NavMeshAgent.Stop(true):

stopUpdates If true, the GameObject is stopped immediately and not affected by the avoidance system.

But that is now deprecated. I also tried to set his velocity = Vector3.zero before stopping him but still the agent slides.

Here are my NavMeshAgent settings in case it helps: alt text

Any help very appreciated!

I know this is old, but since all the current answers are downvoted and I don't see the correct solution here, I'll post it. To stop:

 gameObject.GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>().isStopped = true;

And to start it again:

 gameObject.GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>().isStopped = false;

Things like this are hacks.. Not your fault, but Unity. isStopped should be able to be created in a false mode. Ins$$anonymous$$d of it being instances in a true mode and then rushing to set it to false before anything happens.

Not really sure what you're going on about, you may be right that it's a hack, but nonetheless, it solves the problem.

You're not sure what I'm going on about and then immediately confirm you know what I'm talking about. Hmm.. Seems legit.

Just had this issue and solved it by setting the NavMeshAgent's destination to the object's current position. So basically:

gameObject.GetComponent().SetDestination(gameObject.transform.position);

I use gameObject.GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>().velocity = Vector3.zero

I dont think that would stop the player from from moving, it would only set the nav$$anonymous$$eshAgent velocity to zero for few frames and it would start to move towards the setdestination point.

Depending on your game and your use case, setting velocity to zero every frame might work for your needs. That's what I'm doing in my game and it works great for me :)

I agree with Antonio. I just .enable = false the navmesh. Make sure autobraking is on , that stops the agent faster ( than NOT on) but disabling the navmesh is how I do it
