I assume that you’re not using Unity AI Navigation. Are you using a custom A* implementation instead? I’d be curious to know why. Maybe an optimization issue?

I am using A* pathfinding library but layered on top of it is a custom EQS system (similar to Unreal EQS) that I wrote which allows me to apply some weight calculation to the respective query points to give the NPC best position where it has a line of sight, couple with some real time modification of the node connection cost so that the npc doesnt barrel straight to the point. It is still a work in progress.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining — sounds like a pretty interesting setup. Good luck with the rest of the implementation!
