Question by Chippers · Nov 23, 2016 at 07:50 AM · 3dnavmeshagentnavigationartificial intelligencestate-machine

PathFinding Lag With NaMeshAgent

Hi i'm trying to make a tower defence game. The AI uses unity's navmesh agent for path finding.

Atm the AI has a Sphere collider that adds and removes enemies in sight range of the AI. The AI can do one of three things. Head to the players base if no targets in range. Attack a target or a player or look for a player if the player runs out of there line of sight.

The AI behavior works as intended however with only 4 AI in the scene i'm getting 20fps, regardless of what state they are in. The AI are 7k tri's each and all are animated. The scene is just a bunch of cubes.The game Potentially could have 100 of these AI in scene at once so i need to optimize it.

I'm assuming it has something to do with how i'm calling/ have often i'm calling upon the navMeshAgent What have i done wrong?
