<brief_description>
- A collection of [code]NavigationMesh[/code] resources and methods used for pathfinding.
+ Mesh-based navigation and pathfinding node.
</brief_description>
<description>
- The Navigation node is used for basic or advanced navigation. By default it will automatically collect all child [code]NavigationMesh[/code] resources, but they can also be added on the fly through scripting. It can be used for generating a simple path between two points or it can be used to ensure that a navigation agent is angled perfectly to the terrain it is navigating.
+ Provides navigation and pathfinding within a collection of [NavigationMesh]es. By default these will be automatically collected from child [NavigationMeshInstance] nodes, but they can also be added on the fly with [method navmesh_add]. In addition to basic pathfinding, this class also assists with aligning navigation agents with the meshes they are navigating on.
