The PlayerController has a GetControlledPawn() function, and it is exposed to blueprint.
The AIController, however, does not have that function. Internally in the engine source, it relies on the GetPawn() function.
However, GetPawn() is not exposed to blueprints:
/** Getter for Pawn */
FORCEINLINE APawn* GetPawn() const { return Pawn; }
So, how do I get the controlled/possessed pawn from inside an AIController?
(Actually, it seems as if AAIController “should” have all of the methods of AController, but yet I can’t find Get Controlled Pawn in the blueprint function popup within by AIController blueprint subclass)
class AIMODULE_API AAIController : public AController
…Aaaand now it shows up in the menu.
I opened the menu, searched, recompiled, searched again, probably five times, and it did not show up. So, thanks for being the rubber ducky eyes that makes it show up again!
