NavMeshSegments and Sloping Ground

TayannaStudios

I have a flat surface and then a downwards slope. When I add the NavMeshSegment to the slope I angled it to follow the slope downwards, is this right?

The problem is is that the player won't go down the slope - he just continues at the same height he was at previously, thus making it appear that he's hovering. I've changed the Gravity and Mass settings to no avail.

On a side note, I've noticed that the height placement of the PlayerStart marker can make a difference to the distance to the ground the player is to the NavMesh.

So long as your player is affected by gravity, he'll obey any Colliders underneath him.  Do the colliders slope downward as well?

He's affected by gravity and the colliders slope, yes.

I'm referring to the gravity checkbox in the Player script, rather than the Rigidbody, just in case.

If in doubt, set your player prefab to Tin Pot, the demo game's player - he should always work and is good to test with.
