Can't get Set Actor Location to Move Pawn

[Yoinkinator]

Hi there,

I am trying to teleport a pawn when it contacts a portal using Set Actor Location. The collision triggers and it looks like the correct parameters are being passed and the function returns ‘true’, but the pawn stays in place.

I have looked around the forums and online for solutions, but none of them seem to work. I have tried using Set World Location instead, the pawn’s components are set to ‘Moveable’, I have tried enabling and disabling the ‘Teleport’ flag, and I have tried calling the pawn globally. No errors are being triggered as far as I can see.

This feels like it should not be complicated and I am probably missing something glaringly obvious, but I have been trying for hours and nothing seems to work. Thanks for the help in advance.

You also tried, instead of setting actor location, to set actor transform? And have you tried to untick Teleport Bool on Set Actor Location?

Is anything teleporting / changing location at all? Or is something happening? Even things that aren’t supposed to happen.

Thanks for the reply. I just tried Set Actor Transform as you suggested, but it unfortunately didn’t work either. I have tried with Teleport off, but nothing happens as well. I moved the teleport checkpoint to somewhere I could see it on screen if anything did happen, but nothing appears at all, not even for a frame. I also opened the Output Log, but no errors appear and print string functions return the proper values.

Did you forget to do this in your pawn first?

this->GetController()->StopMovement();

Or
