APawn::GetNavAgentLocation

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.6

#include "GameFramework/Pawn.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualoverrideUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Returns the pawn's location as seen by the navigation system — the actor location offset downward by BaseEyeHeight. This represents the approximate foot/base position used for pathfinding queries.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The default implementation subtracts BaseEyeHeight along Z, not the capsule half-height. For standard Characters this means the nav location is slightly above the actual floor position — use the CharacterMovementComponent's UpdatedComponent base when floor precision matters.
• This is an INavAgentInterface override; it is called by the navigation system, not directly by gameplay code. Overriding it incorrectly can break pathfinding for AI controllers that possess this pawn.
