AI - Stop and resume MoveTo depending of player distance with the NPC

Hi, first of I would suggest that you switch to use behavior trees, that will make it much easier for you instead of trying to reinvent the wheel in blueprints from scratch.

With behavior trees what you want to do will be very easy. Your highest priority task would be waiting for the player (just executing a Wait) and you would put a decorator on top (which checks the distance between the AI and the player, so that you only executing the Wait if the player is further away than X distance from the player). Second in priority would be a MoveTo with your TargetPoint as location.

That will result in the AI waiting for the player, if the player is further than X distance from it, otherwise it will move to TargetPoint. [HR][/HR]
So I would suggest that you follow through this here and reimplement it step by step to get a feeling for behavior trees https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/…art/index.html

Afterwards you can look through all those three Essentials here https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/…ees/index.html

Thank you, this was very helpful!
