## What it is
Unity components (NavMeshSurface, NavMeshModifier, NavMeshModifierVolume, NavMeshLink) providing a high-level API for building and using NavMeshes at runtime and edit time. Development has moved to Unity's AI Navigation package; this repo remains for older Unity versions.

## Use cases
- bake a navmesh at runtime in unity
- build navigation meshes dynamically for procedurally generated levels
- connect navmesh surfaces with links for agents
- modify navmesh generation per object or volume
- add pathfinding navigation to npcs in unity

## When to choose
- using Unity 5.6 through 2020.3 LTS and needing runtime NavMesh building
- wanting source access to Unity's NavMesh components
- needing per-surface or per-agent-type NavMesh control

## When to avoid
- using a modern Unity version - use the com.unity.ai.navigation package instead
- needing bug fixes or new features - issues are closed and development has moved
- working outside the Unity engine

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: game-engine, simulation, plugin-system
- domain: simulation
- platform: game-engine, cross-platform
- tags: unity, navmesh, pathfinding, navigation, ai-navigation, runtime-baking, csharp, game-development
