## Steps

1.- On your scene, make sure you are using Recast Graph, since it's the graph that has Offmeshlinks the Animal Controller can use to move off meshes.

1.-    Select any of your animals and unpack the prefab. That way you can remove the **Animal AI Control**, and replace it with the **AIControl (A\*)** Component. Remove also the **Unity NavMeshAgent** component.

&#x20;This will add automatically the Seeker and the RichAI components from A\*Pathfinding.

2.- Add the A\*Modifiers you need to improve the Pathfinding on your AI

And that's it :)
