# Nav Mesh Agent Set Destination

[Navigation](../index.md) / [Nav Mesh Agent](index.md) / **Nav Mesh Agent Set Destination**

## Description

Calculates a path to the destination and moves the Nav Mesh Agent along it

## Parameters

| Name | Description |
| :--- | :---------- |
| Nav Mesh Agent | The Nav Mesh Agent component that moves |
| Destination | The position the Nav Mesh Agent tries to reach |
| Wait to Arrive | Waits until the Nav Mesh Agent reaches the destination, the end of the closest path it found, or can no longer move |
