3D agent used in navigation for collision avoidance.
3D agent that is used in navigation to reach a position while avoiding static and dynamic obstacles. The dynamic obstacles are avoided using RVO (Reciprocal Velocity Obstacles) collision avoidance. The agent needs navigation data to work correctly. By default this node will register to the default [World3D] navigation map. If this node is a child of a [Navigation] node it will register to the navigation map of the navigation node or the function [method set_navigation] can be used to set the navigation node directly. [NavigationAgent] is physics safe.
[b]Note:[/b] After [member target_position] is set, the [method get_next_path_position] function must be used once every physics frame to update the internal path logic of the NavigationAgent. The returned position from this function should be used as the next movement position for the agent's parent node.
Returns the distance to the target position, using the agent's global position. The user must set [member target_position] in order for this to be accurate.
Returns whether or not the specified layer of the [member avoidance_layers] bitmask is enabled, given a [param layer_number] between 1 and 32.
Returns whether or not the specified mask of the [member avoidance_mask] bitmask is enabled, given a [param mask_number] between 1 and 32.
Returns the path query result for the path the agent is currently following.
Returns the reachable final position of the current navigation path in global coordinates. This position can change if the navigation path is altered in any way. Because of this, it would be best to check this each frame.
Returns this agent's current path from start to finish in global coordinates. The path only updates when the target position is changed or the agent requires a repath. The path array is not intended to be used in direct path movement as the agent has its own internal path logic that would get corrupted by changing the path array manually. Use the intended [method get_next_position] once every physics frame to receive the next path point for the agents movement as this function also updates the internal path logic.
Returns which index the agent is currently on in the navigation path's [PoolVector3Array].
Returns the [Navigation] node that the agent is using for its navigation system.
Returns whether or not the specified layer of the [member navigation_layers] bitmask is enabled, given a [code]layer_number[/code] between 1 and 32.
Returns the [RID] of the navigation map for this NavigationAgent node. This function returns always the map set on the NavigationAgent node and not the map of the abstract agent on the NavigationServer. If the agent map is changed directly with the NavigationServer API the NavigationAgent node will not be aware of the map change. Use [method set_navigation_map] to change the navigation map for the NavigationAgent and also update the agent on the NavigationServer.
Returns the next position in global coordinates that can be moved to, making sure that there are no static objects in the way. If the agent does not have a navigation path, it will return the position of the agent's parent. The use of this function once every physics frame is required to update the internal path logic of the NavigationAgent.
Returns the [RID] of this agent on the [NavigationServer].
Returns [code]true[/code] if the navigation path's final position has been reached.
Returns true if [member target_position] is reachable. The target position is set using [member target_position].
Returns [code]true[/code] if [member target_position] is reached. It may not always be possible to reach the target position. It should always be possible to reach the final position though. See [method get_final_position].
Sets the [Navigation] node used by the agent. Useful when you don't want to make the agent a child of a [Navigation] node.
Based on [param value], enables or disables the specified layer in the [member avoidance_layers] bitmask, given a [param layer_number] between 1 and 32.
Based on [param value], enables or disables the specified mask in the [member avoidance_mask] bitmask, given a [param mask_number] between 1 and 32.
Based on [code]value[/code], enables or disables the specified layer in the [member navigation_layers] bitmask, given a [code]layer_number[/code] between 1 and 32.
Sets the [RID] of the navigation map this NavigationAgent node should use and also updates the [code]agent[/code] on the NavigationServer.
Replaces the internal velocity in the collision avoidance simulation with [param velocity]. When an agent is teleported to a new position this function should be used in the same frame. If called frequently this function can get agents stuck.
If [code]true[/code] the agent is registered for an RVO avoidance callback on the [NavigationServer3D]. When [member velocity] is set and the processing is completed a [code]safe_velocity[/code] Vector3 is received with a signal connection to [signal velocity_computed]. Avoidance processing with many registered agents has a significant performance cost and should only be enabled on agents that currently require it.
A bitfield determining the avoidance layers for this NavigationAgent. Other agent's with a matching bit on the [member avoidance_mask] will avoid this agent.
A bitfield determining what other avoidance agent's and obstacles this NavigationAgent will avoid when a bit matches at least one of their [member avoidance_layers].
The agent does not adjust the velocity for other agents that would match the [member avoidance_mask] but have a lower [member avoidance_priority]. This in turn makes the other agents with lower priority adjust their velocities even more to avoid collision with this agent.
If [code]true[/code] shows debug visuals for this agent.
If [member debug_use_custom] is [code]true[/code] uses this color for this agent instead of global color.
If [member debug_use_custom] is [code]true[/code] uses this rasterized point size for rendering path points for this agent instead of global point size.
If [code]true[/code] uses the defined [member debug_path_custom_color] for this agent instead of global color.
The height of the avoidance agent. Agent's will ignore other agents or obstacles that are above or below their current position + height in 2D avoidance. Does nothing in 3D avoidance which uses radius spheres alone.
The maximum number of neighbors for the agent to consider.
The maximum speed that an agent can move.
A bitfield determining all navigation map layers the [NavigationAgent] belongs to. On path requests the agent will ignore navmeshes without at least one matching layer.
The distance to search for other agents.
The distance threshold before a path point is considered to be reached. This will allow an agent to not have to hit a path point on the path exactly, but in the area. If this value is set to high the NavigationAgent will skip points on the path which can lead to leaving the navigation mesh. If this value is set to low the NavigationAgent will be stuck in a repath loop cause it will constantly overshoot or undershoot the distance to the next point on each physics frame update.
The height offset is subtracted from the y-axis value of any vector path position for this NavigationAgent. The NavigationAgent height offset does not change or influence the navigation mesh or pathfinding query result. Additional navigation maps that use regions with navigation meshes that the developer baked with appropriate agent radius or height values are required to support different-sized agents.
The maximum distance the agent is allowed away from the ideal path to the final position. This can happen due to trying to avoid collisions. When the maximum distance is exceeded, it recalculates the ideal path.
Additional information to return with the navigation path.
The radius of the avoidance agent. This is the "body" of the avoidance agent and not the avoidance maneuver starting radius (which is controlled by [member neighbor_distance]).
Does not affect normal pathfinding. To change an actor's pathfinding radius bake [NavigationMesh] resources with a different [member NavigationMesh.agent_radius] property and use different navigation maps for each actor size.
The distance threshold before the final target point is considered to be reached. This will allow an agent to not have to hit the point of the final target exactly, but only the area. If this value is set to low the NavigationAgent will be stuck in a repath loop cause it will constantly overshoot or undershoot the distance to the final target point on each physics frame update.
If set a new navigation path from the current agent position to the [member target_position] is requested from the NavigationServer.
The minimal amount of time for which this agent's velocities, that are computed with the collision avoidance algorithm, are safe with respect to other agents. The larger the number, the sooner the agent will respond to other agents, but less freedom in choosing its velocities. A too high value will slow down agents movement considerably. Must be positive.

Must be positive.
If [code]true[/code] the agent calculates avoidance velocities in 3D for the xyz-axis, e.g. for games that take place in air, unterwater or space. The 3D using agent only avoids other 3D avoidance using agent's. The 3D using agent only reacts to radius based avoidance obstacles. The 3D using agent ignores any vertices based obstacles. The 3D using agent only avoids other 3D using agent's.
If [code]false[/code] the agent calculates avoidance velocities in 2D along the xz-axis ignoring the y-axis. The 2D using agent only avoids other 2D avoidance using agent's. The 2D using agent reacts to radius avoidance obstacles. The 2D using agent reacts to vertices based avoidance obstacles. The 2D using agent only avoids other 2D using agent's. 2D using agents will ignore other 2D using agents or obstacles that are below their current position or above their current position including [member height] in 2D avoidance.
Sets the new wanted velocity for the agent. The avoidance simulation will try to fulfil this velocity if possible but will modify it to avoid collision with other agent's and obstacles. When an agent is teleported to a new position use [method set_velocity_forced] as well to reset the internal simulation velocity.
