The visibility of the debug can also be controlled in the Editor 3D Viewport gizmo menu.

.. note::

NavigationLinks do not move agents between the two link positions by themselves.

A navigation link does not provide any automated movement through the link. Instead, when
an agent reaches the position of a link, game code needs to react (e.g. through area triggers) and provide means for the agent
to move through the link to end up at the links other position (e.g. through teleport or animation) to continue along the path.
A navigation link does not provide any specialized movement through the link. Instead, when
an agent reaches the position of a link, game code needs to react (e.g. through area triggers)
and provide means for the agent to move through the link to end up at the links other position
(e.g. through teleport or animation). Without that an agent will attempt to move itself along
the path of the link. You could end up with an agent walking over a bottomless pit instead of
waiting for a moving platform, or walking through a teleporter and proceeding through a wall.
