Accurate Alternative for 'Simple Move to Location'

Hello,
Not sure it will helps you but maybe using “spawn default controller” can help
(it is needed when you want to move an actor after spawning and it works after a “cast to” on your player character) :

This isn’t going to somehow give ‘Move to Location’ a valid ‘target’ (AIController Reference). It will not compile without one. There is no option in PlayerController to cast to AIController, then again even AIController doesn’t have that. I’ve seen it in screenshots while researching but doesn’t seem to exist anymore (version 4.5). And yeah, I’ve disabled ‘context sensitive’.

I can’t believe an AAA engine can’t even move a player character accurately. This is the simplest most common thing in the entire development process when making a game yet they can’t do it. I’ve lost over 8 hours of development while waiting for a solution because of this and there still isn’t one.

Simple move to location is not designed to be used like this. It’s for AI in navigation volume, you should work with object transform for such simple tasks.
For example you can use SetWorldLocation and interpolate value from old location to the new one via function like Ease

I will try this, thanks. That’s how I’d do it in Unity but it gave the illusion that all this was setup for the developer.

Edit: Are you sure you meant SetWorldLocation? It wants a ‘Scene Component Reference’, doesn’t give me any indication as to what that actually is and the documentation is no help either. Either way, I’m pretty sure this doesn’t apply to moving a character or it’d want something related to the character.

Nor is Ease available to a PlayerController, but VInterp To will probably do it.
