AAIController::GetPathFollowingAgent

function AIModule Since 4.0

#include "AIController.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualoverride

Description

Returns a pointer to the IPathFollowingAgentInterface implementation — in practice, the PathFollowingComponent cast to that interface. Used by the navigation system to query movement capabilities.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is an INavAgentInterface override. External callers (navigation system, BT tasks) use this to retrieve the path following agent without casting to AAIController — do not bypass it by casting directly.
• Returns nullptr if no PathFollowingComponent exists. This can happen on lightweight AI controllers that intentionally skip path following.

Signature

virtual IPathFollowingAgentInterface* GetPathFollowingAgent() const override

Example

Retrieve the path following agent for direct queries C++

IPathFollowingAgentInterface* Agent = MyAIController->GetPathFollowingAgent();

{
	// Query the agent for current following state
}
