Issue description

I have attached a demo project.

If you have NavigationAgent2D with avoidance enabled, they are by default navigating when first created even though none has been set.

In other words, navigation_agent_2d.is_navigation_finished() == false

BUT

Only when you have two or more navigation layers selected.

If a single layer is selected all is ok, navigation_agent_2d.is_navigation_finished() == true

Steps to reproduce

The setup:

• created a main test scene
• added a NavigationRegion2D with a NavigationPolygon, set to Navigation Layers 1

• made a new Node2D scene, added a Sprite2D and a NavigationAgent2D, enables Avoidance and connected the velocity_computed signal

• add this to the scene:

extends Node2D

@onready var navigation_agent_2d: NavigationAgent2D = $NavigationAgent2D

func _ready() -> void:
	print("_ready:", navigation_agent_2d.is_navigation_finished())
	set_physics_process(false)
	print("_ready2:", navigation_agent_2d.is_navigation_finished())
	call_deferred("late_init")
	print("_ready3:", navigation_agent_2d.is_navigation_finished())


func late_init() -> void:	
	print("late_init:", navigation_agent_2d.is_navigation_finished())
	set_physics_process(true)


func _physics_process (delta: float) -> void:	
	pass

func _on_navigation_agent_2d_velocity_computed(safe_velocity: Vector2) -> void:
	pass

Added the ship to the main:

And running gives this:

This is expected.

But, if I then set the ship navigation layers to 2 as well

The output running the game is

So it has a state of not yet finished navigating, which is odd as I only changed the layer.

If I select layer 2 only:

Then the output is also false:

Is this expected?

I know we can set a target instantly, but I was sent down a bit of a rabbit hole today wondering why my sgents wouldn't move when more than one layer was set :)

If I am being an idiot here, I am really sorry.

Minimal reproduction project (MRP)

Here is the project, I hope it's enough for you to go one.

If you set different navigation_layers than the default you are requesting a repath of the agent as part of the set_navigation_layers() setter function.

Right! But this is in the IDE not in the code - so before I run the game.

The dynamic change in the code, yes.
