There’s a mistake in there, scroll down to The Default interface with the numbers.  
It’s saying the viewport is the content browser, and the content browser is the viewport (got it mixed up)

1. content browser (wrong, that’s the viewport)
2. viewport (wrong, that’s the content browser)

[Behavior Tree tutorial](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/InteractiveExperiences/ArtificialIntelligence/BehaviorTrees/BehaviorTreeQuickStart/index.html) has a mistake at point 5 (Task setup - find random patrol).

“Off the **Random Location** pin, use **Set Blackboard Value as Vector** with the **Key** promoted to a variable called **PatrolLocation** ”

So we have a PatrolLocation (key) that is stored in BTT\_FindRandomPatrol only.  
Let’s say that i have 2 Blackboard values as vector:  
PatrolLocation (vector); InitialLocation (vector).

Key doesn’t know what vector must be updated.  
With this tutorial, BT\_Enemy behaviour tree will always fail on a try to “MoveTo”(patrol location).  
Also, PatrolLocation (vector) in BB will always be invalid and Enemy\_Character will not move if not chasing.

In this example, The **Set Blackboard Value as Vector** node should be replaced with **Set Value as Vector**.  
PatrolLocation (key) is not needed. We need PatrolLocaTionName (name) as const variable.

Event receive Execute AI (controlled pawn) -\> get blackboard -\> Set Value as Vector (tag is PatrolLocationName that is preset to PatrolLocation).

UGameplayDebuggingComponent does not show up under c++ classes that can be derived from.  
Neither does GameplayDebuggingHUDComponent

So it seems the **Basic extension** section’s tutorial is out of date.

At the 2nd to last paragraph on page 8, You see a link that should take you to the system specs required to run UE4. This is the page it sends you to: [https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Basics/GettingStarted/RecommendedSpecifications/index.html](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Basics/GettingStarted/RecommendedSpecifications/index.html)

I like the current Docs site,I find it very well organized and easy to use. Kudos! I do wish that there was a way to view instructions for other platforms besides Windows and Visual Studio. My core development is on a Mac and Linux, using VS Code. Perhaps using tabs to switch between platform instructions? Otherwise current documentation is a non-starter for things like “Right Click in Explorer and click `Generate Visual Studio Project Files`”.

Thanks!

Hey **Nino\_Mancuso** , just wanted to follow up on this post. The guide works as intended, you must have skipped a critical step. You need to change the Translucency Lighting Mode from Volumetric NonDirectional to Surface Translucency Volume. Once you make that change, the pins that were greyed out become usable again, and the how-to guide is perfectly functional.

We are planning on updating this page in the future, as UE5 is on the way, but for now it’s still functional as-is.
