How to stop NavMeshAgent from using an area?

Questions & Answers

Hello,

I have two NavMeshAgents: Person and Car. I have my terrain and on it are two navigation areas that I set in the layers; Foothpath and road. I have checkpoints (gameobjects) dotted around the area so that the Person-object can walk around the area. I did the same for the Car. The problem is that sometimes my Car would use the Footpath since that has a lower area cost.

Is there a way to restrict a NavMeshAgent’s walking area?

Thanks

Fixed it in the end; the NavMeshAgent component as a field called Area Mask, which has the list of areas that I have defined. I just have to uncheck the ones that I don’t want the agent to use and it’ll avoid using them. I just need to redo the costs per path though.
