Spawn and Place NavMeshAgents on a NavMesh at Runtime | AI Series Part 4 | Unity Tutorial
In this tutorial I show you how to dynamically spawn NavMeshAgents into your scene at runtime, at a random position on the NavMesh. We utilize NavMeshTriangulation and NavMesh.SamplePosition to find a valid location on the NavMesh, and spawn them from our Object Pool in a Coroutine.
