AI not moving to Smart Objects

I have followed the Smart Objects Quick Start Guide from the official UE5 documentation, yet my AI remains stationary on play. It is already:

  1. Possessed by an AIController
  2. Standing on an active NavMesh
  3. Executing the behavior tree instantly

Honestly, I don’t even see any nodes in the tutorial that could move the AI, unless the UseSmartObject node already implemented that. Is the tutorial in error, or did I make a mistake?

Hello!

I had a hard time understanding where it was attempting to move as well.

If you check this doc:

it looks the movement is intended to come from the claim process using GetSlotLocation.

It does not state if this call is done innately in the claim or not. Hopefully since you have been messing with it, it will ring a bell. I guess I’d also ensure there is actually a slot available…if that’s a possibility to occur with what you are making.

Ah, so it was a mistake in the documentation. I had a feeling that I needed to use a separate navigation node. Thank you for clearing that up!

You’re welcome! Glad I could help.

Did you ever have trouble actually finding the Smart Objects in your scene while following this tutorial? I’ve been stuck for hours…
