Objective: Create a Offmesh Link for the AI to jump to.

Offmesh Links in Unity help the AI move along shortcuts that can’t be found as a walkable surface. If an enemy AI has to jump over a fence or gab we can use Offmesh Links.

To create an Offmesh link we will need to create another platform and move it way so there is a gap.

Next is to bake a navmesh onto this new section.

With the new floor selected we will add a Offlink onto that floor.

We need a Start and End location. I duplicated one of my Points and move it into location.

The Start will be the waypoint before the gap and the end will be where it lands.

With the Navigation tap active, we can see a arrow to show the Offmesh Link.

That is how you can create an Offlink Mesh. This is how it looks just as is.

Thank you for reading, have a wonderful day!
