UAIBlueprintHelperLibrary::SimpleMoveToActor

function AIModule Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Blueprint/AIBlueprintHelperLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Instructs a controller's pawn to move toward an actor using the navigation system. The pawn will attempt to reach the actor's location at the time of the call; the path is not continuously updated.

Signature

static AIMODULE_API void SimpleMoveToActor(AController* Controller, const AActor* Goal)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
Controller	AController*	The controller whose pawn will be moved.	—
Goal	const AActor*	The actor to move toward.	—

Return Type

void

Caveats & Gotchas

• The path is computed once and not re-evaluated as the goal actor moves. For chasing behaviour, use UAITask_MoveTo or override UpdateMove in a custom MovementComponent.
• Requires a NavMesh beneath the goal actor's location. If unreachable, the pawn silently stops.

Example

Chase a player character C++

void AMyAIController::ChasePlayer(ACharacter* Player)
{
    UAIBlueprintHelperLibrary::SimpleMoveToActor(this, Player);
}
