		Server interface for low-level 3D navigation access.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		NavigationServer3D is the server responsible for all 3D navigation. It handles several objects, namely maps, regions and agents.
		Maps are made up of regions, which are made of navigation meshes. Together, they define the navigable areas in the 3D world.
		[b]Note:[/b] Most NavigationServer changes take effect after the next physics frame and not immediately. This includes all changes made to maps, regions or agents by navigation related Nodes in the SceneTree or made through scripts.
		For two regions to be connected to each other, they must share a similar edge. An edge is considered connected to another if both of its two vertices are at a distance less than [code]edge_connection_margin[/code] to the respective other edge's vertex.
		You may assign navigation layers to regions with [method NavigationServer3D.region_set_navigation_layers], which then can be checked upon when requesting a path with [method NavigationServer3D.map_get_path]. This allows allowing or forbidding some areas to 3D objects.
		To use the collision avoidance system, you may use agents. You can set an agent's target velocity, then the servers will emit a callback with a modified velocity.
		[b]Note:[/b] The collision avoidance system ignores regions. Using the modified velocity as-is might lead to pushing and agent outside of a navigable area. This is a limitation of the collision avoidance system, any more complex situation may require the use of the physics engine.
		This server keeps tracks of any call and executes them during the sync phase. This means that you can request any change to the map, using any thread, without worrying.

			<description>
				This function immediately forces synchronization of the specified navigation [param map] [RID]. By default navigation maps are only synchronized at the end of each physics frame. This function can be used to immediately (re)calculate all the navigation meshes and region connections of the navigation map. This makes it possible to query a navigation path for a changed map immediately and in the same frame (multiple times if needed).
				Due to technical restrictions the current NavigationServer command queue will be flushed. This means all already queued update commands for this physics frame will be executed, even those intended for other maps, regions and agents not part of the specified map. The expensive computation of the navigation meshes and region connections of a map will only be done for the specified map. Other maps will receive the normal synchronization at the end of the physics frame. Should the specified map receive changes after the forced update it will update again as well when the other maps receive their update.
				Avoidance processing and dispatch of the [code]safe_velocity[/code] signals is untouched by this function and continues to happen for all maps and agents at the end of the physics frame.
				[b]Note:[/b] With great power comes great responsibility. This function should only be used by users that really know what they are doing and have a good reason for it. Forcing an immediate update of a navigation map requires locking the NavigationServer and flushing the entire NavigationServer command queue. Not only can this severely impact the performance of a game but it can also introduce bugs if used inappropriately without much foresight.
