AAIController::K2_SetFocus

function AIModule Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "AIController.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Sets this controller's focus to a specific actor so the pawn continuously rotates toward it each tick. Exposed to Blueprint as 'SetFocus'.

• Stores a weak pointer to the actor internally. If the actor is destroyed, the focus becomes invalid and GetFocalPoint returns FAISystem::InvalidLocation — but K2_ClearFocus is not called automatically. Clear focus explicitly on actor death to avoid stale state.
• Operates at EAIFocusPriority::Gameplay. The movement system uses EAIFocusPriority::Move for path-following rotation; focus set here will override rotational intent only when Move-priority focus is absent.
