# NavigationMeshComponent

A component that provides the navigation meshes an entity uses to find paths through a scene.

## Declaration

```swift
struct NavigationMeshComponent
```

## Overview

Overview Attach a navigation mesh component to an entity to supply the walkable surfaces that pathfinding relies on. Each NavigationMeshResource in navigationMeshes represents a baked region of the scene that agents with a matching NavigationComponent can travel across.
