Title: NavMeshAgent knockback action
Post by: mdotstrange on July 16, 2016, 12:47:44 PM

Feed this action the game object that has hit your agent and it will knock the agent back according to the hit object-

Hi, I can't seem to find this specific action on your GitHub. I found one similar at
https://github.com/mdotstrange/MdotsCustomPlaymakerActions/blob/master/KnockbackAction.cs

however this action lacks the smoothing.  Any chance I could peek at the code?  Thx!
Chris

Any chance this action is still around somewhere? I can't seem to find it on the GitHub.

Are you using a Navmesh agent?

I found the proper way to do it with a NavMesh agent is to also use a rigidbody- this is the way I do it now-

So when the agent is hit you switch off the NavmeshAgent- then enable the rigidbody + add a physics force and let that play out for a bit- this way agents can fall from heights etc-

I'll make a new version of this that incorporates that and post it here soon-

Looking forward to it!  yes, I'm using a navmesh agent and have a rigidbody as well.  I've tried setting the navmesh agent's updateposition to false and applying force and seem to get inconsistent results...  sometimes it works perfect, sometimes it doesn't seem to click... so, looking forward to seeing it.

Hear is a simple Knock Back Action for navmesh agents i made hope it helps.
it uses the navmeshagent.move so offsets the current path of the agent
you just plug in the players Game object and it works out the knockback via the players position to the enemy.
