I got the blueprints for making an object follow the player. My problem is that the objects kind of keep moving back and forward and not stay in a position when I move the player.
So, my idea is to keep the objects in a specific location when following the player. For example, when I move forward or sideways the objects should keep the same distance. The problem I have is that if I turn left or right quickly then the objects go crazy and take a big jump back a few feet then start to move slowly to the player again. I just want to keep them close to the player, but at a specific distance and always stay that way.
Also, I noticed that when i do those aggressive turns (I control the left and right movements with the mouse) thatâs when the objects kind of take big breaks like racing cars and stop following the player, but then proceed to follow it slowly.
I have everything set up already. I got the objects (actors) following the player. The problem is what I mentioned above. They tend to go crazy and not follow in the same pace when the player turns left or right.
I combined both blueprints. I added your blueprints to the even thick and used my blueprints as well. I works but only for the first object. Once the other objects start spawning they donât follow the player like this first one. They start to go crazy and lose directions.
Iâll upload a short video of the issue. I just donât know how to fix it. Iâm still learning blueprints in UE.
Hey, thank you for the answer. This does works in an extent. It does exactly what I want, which is to always follow the player at the same speed and direction. The problem I have with this is that my blueprints allows the object to spawn behind each object. For example, the first object spawns behind the player and follows the player. The second object spawns behind the first object and follows the first object and so on. This only makes one object to spawn and not do what I had.
The concept is similar to a trail. You walk and you leave a trail. The blueprints you provided me works, but not the way I wanted. Another thing is that when I turn left or right the object as well turn left or right. I donât want that, but I want the objects to follow the path/trail of the player.
In the video you can see the first object following the player (the black dot). It follows it smoothly, but then when the second object spawns it doesnât follow the first object that smoothly. It starts jumping back and forth. At the end of the video you can see that the last few objects make a mess and crash with each other.
So, this is for the game instance and not for the objectâs blueprint?
Do I still leave the first blueprints you gave me for the objects or use these one instead?
â â â â , sorry. It wonât work if I donât use AI Move To. There might be something else somewhere that is making your blueprint not to work properly. I have several stuff in this project. I canât post them all here since itâs too much. I just know that the problem has to be with the actor/object, but I think I have to use the AI.
I canât get this thing to work. The problem with this is that I need the AI and without it your blueprints donât even work properly. When I include the AI in the blueprints the objects spawn just fine and they follow the player in trail. However, the objects/actors keep bumping with one another and jump away from the player. I just want them to keep a distance between each other and always stay that way if Iâm turning any direction.
Also, I have more stuff added in the whole project, which can be the reason why your blueprints donât work properly. I just canât put everything hear and it will take me some time to find exactly whatâs causing it. I do know I can fix this problem from within the actorâs blueprints.
Another problem. The amount of objects spawning seems to be limited. Instead I have an object that when I step on it creates the actor, but at some point even after stepping on the object for several times the actors are not spawning anymore. It appears to be random. Sometimes the max is 10 and other times I can spawn 13.
EDIT: I think I fixed it. I canât tell since I havenât spawn that many objects. What I did was simply to add the âpawnâ from the Get Actors Rotation to the Target for Set Actor Rotation.
Iâm making it so that you can change to the pawn and see what the pawn sees. But when I change to it it flies through the map instead of staying behind the player, how can I fix this?
