Faces Holder
The FacesHolder is a high level component that allows you to create predefined elements of navigation environment, edit them and move them around the scene in both edit and play mode.
To begin:
- Create a new game object and name it appropriately.
- Attach the FacesHolder component to the game object.
You can enable/disable the component or use the standard transform handle to move, rotate and scale the whole object. (The changes are applied also in play mode.)
Tip
You can also use scripts to change these properties at run-time. However, never use it every frame, in this case pathfinding thread is starved.
