AAIController::SetFocalPoint
#include "AIController.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: virtualAIMODULE_API
Description
Sets a world-space position as the focal point at the given priority. The pawn's control rotation is updated to face this point each tick, with higher-priority slots overriding lower ones.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • SetFocalPoint sets a static world position. If the intended target moves, the AI will not track it — use SetFocus(Actor) to track a moving actor continuously.
- • In Blueprint, the K2_SetFocalPoint wrapper (exposed as 'Set Focal Point') always writes to the Gameplay priority slot. The C++ version provides access to the full priority system.
