[NavMesh] RuntimeNavMeshBuilder: Source mesh Combined Mesh does not allow read access when Batching Static is turned on

AI Navigation

-

Only reproducible with runtime navmesh components from https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/NavMeshComponents.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open user attached project
2. Hit the play button
3. Observe the "RuntimeNavMeshBuilder: Source mesh Combined Mesh (root: scene) does not allow read access" error
4. Disable Batching Static on all static objects.
5. Press Play
6. Observe the scene is properly playing

Expected result: RuntimeNavMeshBuilder: Source mesh Combined Mesh (root: scene) does not allow read access should not be outputted when static batching is enabled on an object

Reproduced in: 2018.1.0b1, 2017.3.0f3, 2017.2.1p1, 2017.1.2p3, 5.6.5f1

  1. Resolution Note (2021.2.X):

    Combined meshes that are the result of static batching are optimized for rendering and unfortunately cannot be taken into consideration for building the NavMesh while the game is running in a standalone player.

    In the Editor the NavMesh can still be baked even in that situation because their unoptimized data can still be accessed, but the warning informs users about the fact that this will not produce the desired result in a standalone player.

    I had the same exact issue, and I was able to resolve it by deselecting "Static Batching" in the Player Settings->Other Settings in Project Settings.

    Unity 2019.4.2f1, error still existing, the OnEneable and Awake method doesn't work for me, im creating the level in runtime. Please help

    Still here in 2018.3.0f2 :( Not good as I want to generate the nav mesh after I've built the level at runtime, so Awake and OnEnable is not a fix for me.

    Issue still present in 2018.2.18f1.
    SNUGSOUND's solution with updating nav mesh in OnEnable rather than Start is still viable.

    Thanks SNUGSOUND, I experienced the same issue when calling nav mesh build via Start(), changing it to called from OnEnable solved the issue

    On Awake() is also a viable option to call Navmesh.Build(), but yes, anything after and including Start() will trigger the crash at the moment.

    Edit to the above: this got me past the issue in the editor, but won't work for standalone builds as static batching happens when building.

    FYI I ran into this same issue with LocalNavMeshBuilder. It seems like it comes down to execution order: updating the nav mesh in OnEnable instead of Start fixed the issue for me. I would speculate that Unity's static batching initialization happens between OnEnable and Start.
