Updated from 2021 to 2022 version of unity, getting NavMeshSurface related error.
Hey y'all, I'm an absolute newbie trying to make a basic game and figured the unity tutorials would be a good place to start. I've had to go out of my way to get an outdated version of unity to access the microgame the tutorial recommends and then updated to a more recent version that has WebGL Project support to learn that but when I did I started getting this error.
Assets\FPS\Tutorials\TutorialCallbacks.cs(15,9): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'NavMeshSurface' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) I've looked into the file it's referencing and checked a couple forum posts from a while ago but am lacking fundamental c# understanding and experience for this and don't know which part I need to know about. It seems to me that the highlighted portion of the screenshot is what is being referenced here.

Could someone tell me approximately how specific this sort of thing is? From what I gathered it seemed like a fundamental c# thing, but if it's specific to unity or even working with navigation meshes in unity that would be really helpful.
Have you tried these steps?

(I don't know for sure just a brief search)
All good, I appreciate any help I can get. I'll check really quick. 😄
I believe that's an earlier version of something that has since been integrated into Unity. I think the problem may arise from (this is speculation) an early version of this being used in the example I was working on and then using slightly different values or parameters in the newer version that is just a part of Unity at this point.
I got an idea, one second.
Yeah that's what I was seeing, it then sounded like it's now part of that package I linked above
I found a post in the unity discord saying essentially that the problem was having
using UnityEngine.AI; instead of using Unity.AI.Navigation;. Apparently in the version changes they changed the terminology a bit and I didn't realize. Thank you a bunch for your help man 🙂
I also deleted NavMeshSurface from my assets with hopes of reimporting it but I guess because AI Navigation is it's own package now it just used that.
