Support different actor types

../../_images/nav_actor_sizes.png

To support different actor types due to e.g. their sizes each type requires its own navigation map and navigation mesh baked with an appropriated agent radius and height. The same approach can be used to distinguish between e.g. landwalking, swimming or flying agents.

Note

Agents are exclusively defined by a radius and height value for baking navigation meshes, pathfinding and avoidance. More complex shapes are not supported.
