Hi, you can set the LifeSpan of the actor in the Class Defaults section of the Actor:

Or you can set it in Blueprint like:

Thank you!!

Lifespan worked on the details pane! But how did you get “My Actor” in the blueprint? If I drag the SM_Pickup_Orb into the Event graph, it won’t let me attach it to “Target”.:

Got it! It works if i do it in the BP_playerController event graph like this:

One more question - it seems like my character can walk up rocks based on “Max Step Height”… but the AI Bot does not seem to have that functionality. (sometimes it seems as though it can walk up tiny rocks, but not big steps)

That could be a navmesh thing, check out this post:

AI won't drop off ledges or climb stairs

Hi! to fix your problem you can use 3 solutions: You can use NavLink Actors (you can find it in your mode tab looking for Nav Link Proxy) and connect the points A and B at the start and the end of your stairs. You can use it even for make the AI jump off the ledges. You can edit your NavMesh parameters from Edit/ProjectSettings/Engine/Navigation Mesh. I’m not sure what parameter fix your problem, I can guess Cell Height or Agent height. You can fix your stairs collision to a ramp, you…
