Navmesh volume not filling up stairs

I put a navmesh volume into the third person project template’s map and it is not able to fill up the stair case, there is a gap in the middle. How can I fix that?

Hello,

While it may not look like the Navmesh is generating there, this is a normal visual representation. The Navmesh will not always render properly on every surface. If you are not having any functional errors with your AI moving up the staircase, then this should work as expected.

If you’re having issues as far as functionality goes, meaning that your AI is unable to climb the stairs, let me know and I can offer additional solutions.

Have a great day

Hi, I am using Simple Move to Actor, if the target/goal actor is standing above the gap my character will not be able to climb up the stairs to reach him or if goal actor standing below the gap my character will not be able to climb down the stairs.

What you’ll need to do is navigate to Edit->Project Settings->Navigation Mesh->Generation and alter the Agent Max Height, Agent Max Slope, as well as some of the other options depending on what you are attempting to generate the Nav Mesh on. Altering these settings should allow you to get the results you’re looking for.

RecastNavMesh.CellHeight can be a culprit here as well. It’s basically navmesh’s Z-axis generation resolution.
