Making an Off Mesh Link jump in a non-planar navmesh

Hi there, we actually had a really similar question a bit ago here: Adjusting FollowerEntity Rotation(X,Z) While Traversing OffMeshLink Without Aborting Coroutine.

This is the solution Aron offered:

@aron_granberg

As a workaround, you could do the rotation itself in the Update method:

IEnumerable IOffMeshLinkStateMachine.OnTraverseOffMeshLink (AgentOffMeshLinkTraversalContext ctx) {
    rotateAgent = true;
    // ...
}

void Update () {
    if (rotateAgent) {
         // ...
         ai.updateRotation = false;
         ai.rotation = ...;
    }
}

There was also another thread where Aron suggested using SetDestination() to the agent’s current position, and using the rotation argument to set it’s rotation:

@aron_granberg

Calling SetDestination with the agent’s current position seems to work just fine.

I tried with this code:

void Update () {
    ai.SetDestination(ai.position, Quaternion.Euler(0, Time.time * 60, 0) * Vector3.forward);
}

This was in the context of “rotate to keep looking at another agent” though, but it still may be helpful here. Let us know what you think
