Hi,
So I have a game where there’s an enemy who will stalk you while you solve puzzles. But a way to introduce him to build tension is to have him walk down a hallway perpendicular to the hallway the player is in and then despawn once he’s out of view. I tried using a sequencer to have its position move across and I tried adding an animation, but he would just sit in an idle state as it slides across the hallway. Is there a better way to do this or am I using the sequencer wrong?
Hey, thanks for your response! I did that and used an actor location for the enemy to walk to. But he won’t walk anywhere.
Are you using a Nav Mesh Bounds Volume?
Like EC say, you need a nav mesh bounds…
I have a navmesh already there. I have a working ai that stalks the player and it works fine. I’m using a copy of that same character but without the controller that I use so it doesn’t walk wherever it wants and instead only walks where I want it to. Basically from point A and then to a specific location at point B.
Can you shows us what you doing?
Also, you said you removed the ai controller. What exactly do you mean by that? The character still has the default AIController set, right?
AI is ok, but sometimes it is simpler to use spline or just move location of actor with enabled animation.
This is a layout of the area where I have an enemy that uses a behavior tree to walk around and it works well.
The red arrow in the second picture shows what I want where the enemy walks past the player (green arrow) and despawns at the red x just to give the player the creeps for a while until the chase sequence starts (which I already have working).
The third picture shows how I’m using my own enemy controller.
What I did was I removed the enemyController so it wouldn’t search for the player and instead just walk from one point to another and then destroy itself. I don’t know how to get it to move and walk even when using the nodes to say to walk to a location.
So I think it was just a bug because after closing out of UE4 from last night and I just tried it again, it worked perfectly fine. But you were right about the AI controller and everything else. I appreciate your help!
