How to completely cancel a path?

Beginner Questions
#1

I’m using object pooling on agents with the RichAI component on a recast graph and when they respawn they seem to still have their old path that they try to complete.

I was using RichAI ai.SetPath(null); but that doesn’t seem to be working.

How can I completely cancel a path?

Hi

Just making sure the objects are disabled when they enter the pool should do it. You may also want to set ai.destination = new Vector3(float.PositiveInfinity, float.PositiveInfinity, float.PositiveInfinity); unless you set a new destination immediately when they spawn.

Exception when setting FollowerEntity destination to Vector3.positiveInfinity (5.0.4 & 5.0.5)

When you say “Make sure the objects are disabled” you mean the game objects? If so, I’m doing that.

I’ll experiment with destination and report back, thanks!

#4

The agent will keep its destination when it is disabled. So likely what happens is that immediately when it gets activated again, it will quickly calculate a path to its previous destination and start following that.

#5

Ok I think that fixed it!

I set the ai.destination = Vector3.positiveInfinity and now when they respawn they are standing still before picking a new location as expected.

Thanks for the help!
