# Unity Better NavMesh Bake
A Unity package that enhances the [NavMesh Surface](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ai.navigation@2.0/manual/NavMeshSurface.html) baking process. Currently it only adds support for [Terrain](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/script-Terrain.html) [Trees](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/terrain-Trees-Landing.html).
## Usage
> [!IMPORTANT]
> You need Unity's [AI Navigation](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ai.navigation@2.0/manual/index.html) package. When you install this package, it should depend on it and install it automatically for you.
Install the package according to the [installation instructions](#installation). Once installed, you can use the extra buttons from the *NavMesh Surface* to use this package to bake.
### What this package currently does
- Make real instances of terrain trees for baking (they get removed after baking). These trees support the following components:
- LOD Groups, only used when *Use Geometry* is set to *Render Meshes*, takes precedence to just a Mesh Renderer and Mesh Filter on the root object of a tree
- Mesh Renderer and Mesh Filter, only used when *Use Geometry* is set to *Render Meshes*, [#Problems that may not be obvious](#mesh-renderer--mesh-filter)
- Colliders of any type, can be multiple, mix and matched, only used when *Use Geometry* is set to *Physics Colliders*
- NavMesh Modifier
- NavMesh Modifier Volume
> [!IMPORTANT]
> All components above need to be enabled to be used by the NavMesh Surface.
### Problems that may not be obvious
#### Mesh Renderer & Mesh Filter
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Both a Mesh Renderer and Mesh Filter need to be on the tree, otherwise the Surface will not recognise it.
