public static Object GetLinkOwner(NavMeshLinkInstance handle)
Parameters
The identifier of the link instance whose owner needs to be retrieved.
Returns
Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Object | The object that was passed into NavMesh.SetLinkOwner for the specified link instance. |
Remarks
Use this method to obtain a reference to the component that created the link, or more generally, to any object that contains useful information about this specific link that is active in the navigation system. We refer to that object as the "owner". The owner is null for any new link instance created with NavMesh.AddLink. Therefore you need to first call NavMesh.SetLinkOwner in order to retrieve the same object later. This "owner" is also referenced by the OffMeshLinkData.owner property when you query for the next link on a NavMesh agent's path.
When the link instance is removed the owner property returns null once again.
