Iā€™m having issues with part 3 of the beginner section. Iā€™m using Unreal 5.6

In our example, the key point is that bManualAttachment needs to be false because we donā€™t want the spline to move together with the character . In other words, it will be part of the character but not follow it.

In the code itā€™s set to true.

If bManualAttachment is set to true, the Blueprint complains that the LocatorComponent hasnā€™t been set and doesnā€™t perform ShowPath

if bManualAttachment is set to false, the game and engine crashes when calling:
UNavigationPath* Path = UNavigationSystemV1::FindPathToLocationSynchronously(GetOwner(), Origin, Target);

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x00000000000005e1

which would suggest the same thing. Iā€™ve followed the tutorial to the letter as far as I can tell but I feel like a step is missing somewhere.

If you get stuck in this part:

For the second, we need to modify the BeginPlay event from the BP_ThirdPersonCharacter so that it will also set the Health Component from the character as the Target Health Component for our Health Bar:

You need to go to your WBP_HUD you just created before and in the ā€˜Detailsā€˜ at the top and set:

IsVariable = true

I hope this help, I spent half an hour with it :slight_smile:

The assets for the first tutorial are missing. When you click on the ā€œSuper Mario Assetsā€ link in the project files section, you get a dead link.
