Make a NavMeshAgent Hide or Take Cover From Other Objects | AI Series Part 29 | Unity Tutorial

Learn how to make NavMeshAgents find valid cover spots from another target object. In this video we’ll specifically use a Player, but this can be applied to hide from any object - a grenade for example. Together we’ll create a configurable script that allows us to refine which objects are valid to hide behind, and exclude those that are not.
