NavMeshAgent not going to assigned target

[EricTrf]

Hi!

I’m making a scene to train a ML-Agent. It’s this 9 isolated isles:

Each isle is a copy of a prefab I made with terrain, navmesh and 2 agents: a deer and a hunter.

The hunter from the original isle (the one I dragged to create the prefab) is correctly chasing the deer. The problem is: hunters from the cloned isles are trying to chase the deer from the original isle, walking towards their respective isles edges.

I’m using a serialize field to determine each hunter goal, and each of these fields are correctly assigned with the deer from its own isle. This is my simple script for the hunters:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.AI;

public class Chegar : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Transform goalTransform;
    NavMeshAgent agent;

    void Start()
    {
        agent = GetComponent <NavMeshAgent>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        agent.SetDestination(goalTransform.localPosition);
    }
}

Thanks in advance!

You are passing-in “localPosition”, you should use “transform.position” (world pos) to the NavMeshAgent.

It probably “appears” to work for your original agent because your “goalTransform” parent may be on 0,0,0 xD

Thanks, man! Really appreciate the help.

But why localPos does not work?
