Transform your project's navigation capabilities with the URuntimeNavModifierComponent for Unreal Engine.


Key Features:

  • Utilize complex convex shapes for navigation areas, far surpassing the limitations of Unreal's native BrushBuilders, which are restricted to basic editor functionalities.
  • Use a Static Mesh's simple collision, an arbitrary set of points or spline components to modify the nav mesh with Nav Areas. Perfect for creating detailed, obstacle-laden terrains or convex shaped zones.
  • Fully compatible with Unreal’s native PCG systems, allowing for navigation areas that evolve with your procedural landscapes or architecture with much higher efficiency than spawning individual NavModifierVolume actors.


The plugin is designed for high interactivity projects such as dynamic strategy games, immersive simulation systems, or any scenario where the game world is in constant flux. This tool provides the flexibility to create a responsive and adaptive gaming experiences.
