APlayerController :: "get controlled pawn"

[anonymous_user_da0815d1]

Does APlayerController class has a method to get controlled Pawn ?

[Ogniok]

It’s in the super class. AController::GetPawn() (GetPawn | Unreal Engine Documentation)

So sorry to necro this, but I’m not fully adept with BPs yet nor a seasoned ‘programmer’, so why is there no get controlled pawn node, and what do I do instead if its no longer generated ?

This became a problem bc I’m following a youtube tut on creating ai pawn for player which I’m needing now. This is the only spot where a search generated anything meaningful to a non coder ISh.

Don’t understand the question. Are you talking in C++ or in BP? Both in BP there is the “Get Controlled Pawn”:

and

AController::GetPawn()

still exists.
