Attach AI Sight to Pawn Head? (Perception)

I know this is a really old thread, but just in case anyone was on here looking for the answer, it IS possible in way.

Create a pawn actor with the pawnsense in it. Attach this actor into the blueprint you want as a child actor. This can be attached to the head of your ai character mesh an it will move accordingly.

Bit more code inside the pawnsense actor to send a message to the parent actor and it will work perfectly.

I use this method for sentry guns as it’s more realistic than line tracing.

You can also add the AIPerception component to the AI controller and attach that to the pawn. Less blueprints.
