Trying to Stop a NavMeshAgent before it reaches its destination based on a value?
Hi all,
I'm attempting to stop a NavMeshAgent before it reaches its destination based on a maximum move number.
E.g. this would move the agent for a value of 5 and then stop it, whether the destination was reached or not
Now I've been trying to think of a clever way to do this and can't really figure it out.
Ideally I'll be able to subtract 1 each tick of a specific amount of time, E.g. -1 every 0.25 seconds. And when the max number reaches 0 ill do agent.isStopped = true;
if anyone has any ideas about this I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Do you want this to be based on time, or by distance?
if you want the NavMeshAgent to stop after a specified set of time, I would say make a timer of sorts that will stop the agent after maximum units elapsed.
using System;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.AI;
public class GoPlaces : MonoBehaviour
{
public float MaxTime;
public float ElapsedTime;
NavMeshAgent Agent;
void Start()
{
Agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
}
public void GoSomewhere()
{
Agent.SetDestination(new Vector3(0, 69, 420));
Agent.isStopped = false;
StartCoroutine(ItsLateAndICantThinkOfABetterWay());
}
IEnumerator ItsLateAndICantThinkOfABetterWay()
{
if (ElapsedTime >= MaxTime)
{
Agent.isStopped = true;
StopCoroutine(ItsLateAndICantThinkOfABetterWay());
}
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
ElapsedTime++;
}
}
If you want to stop the agent after a maximum distance, you could try something basic like this
using System;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.AI;
public class GoPlaces : MonoBehaviour
{
public float MaxDistance;
NavMeshAgent Agent;
Vector3 StartingPosition = Vector3.zero;
void Start()
{
Agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
}
void Update()
{
if (!Agent.isStopped)
{
if (Vector3.Distance(StartingPosition, transform.position) >= MaxDistance)
{
Debug.Log("AGENT, STOP IT NOW");
Agent.isStopped = true;
StartingPosition = Vector3.zero;
}
}
}
public void GoSomewhere()
{
Agent.SetDestination(new Vector3(0, 69, 420));
StartingPosition = transform.position;
Agent.isStopped = false;
}
}
Just a couple examples, and if you couldn't tell I'm tired >ᴥ<
