NavMesh.FindClosestEdge error?

Unity Engine
1

I’ve been trying to use NavMesh.FindClosestEdge to find the waypoint closest to the position newDirectionVector, but I keep getting an error. I’ve never used FindClosestEdge with the navMesh before so I really don’t know what’s wrong.

Assets/Scripts/Enemy/EnemyAI.cs(169,50): error CS0176: Static member `UnityEngine.NavMesh.FindClosestEdge(UnityEngine.Vector3, out UnityEngine.NavMeshHit, int)' cannot be accessed with an instance reference, qualify it with a type name instead

    void Search()
    {
    newDirectionVector = player.transform.position + relativePos;
    // Set an appropriate speed for the NavMeshAgent.
    nav.speed = chaseSpeed;
  
    // If near the next waypoint or there is no destination...
    if(nav.destination == lastPlayerSighting.resetPosition || nav.remainingDistance < nav.stoppingDistance )
    {
    // ... increment the timer.
    chaseTimer += Time.deltaTime;
  
    // If the timer exceeds the wait time...
    if(chaseTimer >= chaseWaitTime)
    {
    for(searchIndex = 0; searchIndex < searchWayPoints.Length; searchIndex ++)
    {
    NavMeshHit hit;
    if (mesh.FindClosestEdge(newDirectionVector, out hit, 1))
    {
    searchWayPoints[searchIndex].position = hit.position;
    }
    }
  
    // Reset the timer.
    chaseTimer = 0;
    }
    }
    else
    // If not near a destination, reset the timer.
    chaseTimer = 0;
  
    // Set the destination to the patrolWayPoint.
    nav.destination = searchWayPoints[searchIndex].position;
    lastPlayerSighting.evasion = lastPlayerSighting.resetPosition;
    }

Figured it out… don’t store NavMesh in a variable. Just write it out like this

if (NavMesh.FindClosestEdge(newDirectionVector, out hit, 1))
