What is the primary purpose of the Auto Traverse OffMesh Link setting?

The primary purpose of the Auto Traverse OffMesh Link setting is to enable automatic traversal of navmesh links. In the context of Unity's navigation system, off-mesh links allow characters to navigate across gaps or from one area of the navmesh to another, such as when jumping or climbing. By enabling Auto Traverse, the system automatically controls the character's movement across these links, implementing appropriate animations and ensuring that the transition happens smoothly without requiring manual input for each traversal.

This feature streamlines character movement across complex environments where off-mesh connections are necessary, making the gameplay experience more fluid and realistic. It also reduces the amount of coding or additional checks the developer needs to implement because the built-in functionality takes care of the crucial traversal mechanics automatically.

The other options do not directly relate to the core functionality of Auto Traverse OffMesh Link. For example, disabling jump animations and controlling jump speed pertain to character animation and physics rather than navigation link traversal. Adjusting collider interactions involves physics and collision settings that do not specifically tie into the behavior of traversing off-mesh links.
