Overview

Unreal Engine's Navigation System allows Agents to navigate the Level using a Navigation Mesh for pathfinding. In addition to the various Runtime Generation methods for the Navigation Mesh, the system also includes a way to only build the navigation locally around specific targets.

Navigation Invokers are Blueprint Actor components that generate the Navigation Mesh around the Agent at runtime. Using Navigation Invokers removes the need to build the Navigation Mesh in the editor and can also limit the number of tiles generated at runtime.

Navigation Invokers are ideal for big Levels where building the Navigation Mesh in the editor is impractical.

Goals

In this guide you will learn to use Navigation Invokers with your Agents to generate the Navigation Mesh during gameplay.

  • Create a new Level and configure the Navigation System to use Navigation Invokers.

  • Modify the ThirdPersonCharacter Blueprint to roam around the Level using Navigation Invokers.
