Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Instructs a controller's pawn to move to a world location using the navigation system, with no callback or complex setup. Ideal for simple one-shot move requests.

Signature

static AIMODULE_API void SimpleMoveToLocation(AController* Controller, const FVector& Goal)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
Controller	AController*	The controller whose pawn will be moved.	—
Goal	const FVector&	World-space destination to move toward.	—

Return Type

void

Caveats & Gotchas

• Requires a valid NavMesh over the destination. If navigation fails, the pawn may not move without any error.
• Cancels any existing move request on the controller. Do not mix with manual UAITask_MoveTo calls on the same controller.
• Calls UPathFollowingComponent under the hood — only works if the controller has one (AIController does by default, but PlayerController does not).

Example

Move an AI pawn to a clicked location C++

void AMyAIController::MoveToTarget(const FVector& TargetLocation)
{
    UAIBlueprintHelperLibrary::SimpleMoveToLocation(this, TargetLocation);
}
