Description

Pathfinding modifiers can be used to represent space that has a higher or lower cost to be traversed. When added as a child to a Part, it takes that Part's volume to annotate areas of the navmesh that are inside and on top of it.

You can include pathfinding modifiers in the PathfindingService:CreatePath() parameters and compute smarter paths across various materials or around defined regions.

Note that when adding a PathfindingModifier to a part, either:

  • The part is collidable and we are interested in modifying pathfinding costs of paths on top of this part, which we call area.
  • The part is non-collidable (and usually invisible in game) and we are interested in modifying pathfinding costs of paths inside the part, which we call volume.
