NavigationRegion2D
==================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Node2D<class_Node2D>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A traversable 2D region that :ref:`NavigationAgent2D<class_NavigationAgent2D>`\ s can use for pathfinding.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

A traversable 2D region based on a :ref:`NavigationPolygon<class_NavigationPolygon>` that :ref:`NavigationAgent2D<class_NavigationAgent2D>`\ s can use for pathfinding.

Two regions can be connected to each other if they share a similar edge. You can set the minimum distance between two vertices required to connect two edges by using :ref:`NavigationServer2D.map_set_edge_connection_margin<class_NavigationServer2D_method_map_set_edge_connection_margin>`.

\ **Note:** Overlapping two regions' navigation polygons is not enough for connecting two regions. They must share a similar edge.

The pathfinding cost of entering a region from another region can be controlled with the :ref:`enter_cost<class_NavigationRegion2D_property_enter_cost>` value.

\ **Note:** This value is not added to the path cost when the start position is already inside this region.

The pathfinding cost of traveling distances inside this region can be controlled with the :ref:`travel_cost<class_NavigationRegion2D_property_travel_cost>` multiplier.

\ **Note:** This node caches changes to its properties, so if you make changes to the underlying region :ref:`RID<class_RID>` in :ref:`NavigationServer2D<class_NavigationServer2D>`, they will not be reflected in this node's properties.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_NavigationRegion2D_property_avoidance_layers:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`int<class_int>` **avoidance_layers** = ``1``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_avoidance_layers** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` value **)**
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_avoidance_layers** **(** **)**

A bitfield determining all avoidance layers for the avoidance constrain.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_NavigationRegion2D_property_constrain_avoidance:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **constrain_avoidance** = ``false``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_constrain_avoidance** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` value **)**
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **get_constrain_avoidance** **(** **)**

If ``true`` constraints avoidance agent's with an avoidance mask bit that matches with a bit of the :ref:`avoidance_layers<class_NavigationRegion2D_property_avoidance_layers>` to the navigation polygon. Due to each navigation polygon outline creating an obstacle and each polygon edge creating an avoidance line constrain keep the navigation polygon shape as simple as possible for performance.

\ **Experimental:** This is an experimental feature and should not be used in production as agent's can get stuck on the navigation polygon corners and edges especially at high frame rate.

----

.. _class_NavigationRegion2D_property_use_edge_connections:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **use_edge_connections** = ``true``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_use_edge_connections** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` value **)**
