NavMeshAgent priority levels quantity is too small

Hi, is there any way to increase the NavMeshAgents priority level above 99? I need it for making an RTS with hundreds or thousands of units on screen. I want to use it to make units not overlap in various situations. 100 positions is also very bizarre, it’s and Integer, so why only 100 values?

I have made various systems such as moving in formations or keeping group shapes, moving around corners with a random distance for big groups, etc…

But it’s still not enough. For example a group of units attacking a single unit ends up having all units overlap pretty hard. If units that are closer to the target had a higher priority, it would reduce the overlap significantly. But I need to have 100.000 to 1.000.000 priority levels to an achieve this.

Thanks for your time!

The problem is not the number of missing priorities. The avoidance implemented is just not good enough to handle a lot of agents.

If you are planning to make a full-blown RTS I would recommend going with either A* Pathfinding Project or Agents Navigation when you want to stick to the Unity internal navigation mesh creation.
