    Greetings,
    I am seeking a solution for the movement that I need in my game. It is a indoor scene (apartment or house) where you play a cat. I need to be able to click a location with the mouse (or fingers on mobile) and the character moves to that location, including jumping up or down furniture if needed. Does anyone have a recommended asset to do this? Or do I need a custom solution coded for this? Any advice would be much appreciated, I am a novice!

    Sincerely,
    VarrickCW

    In very general terms, this could be solved with a navigation mesh (NavMesh), where some connections are marked as requiring a jump.

    However, I have never used Unity's built-in NavMesh and path-finding stuff, so I don't know off the top of my head if they support this or not.

    If not, it wouldn't be too hard to roll a custom solution.

    Good luck,
    - Joe
