MoveTo & TeleportTo BUG? : Verse script compiles, runs, doesn't move creative_prop

Thank you @swaggod !

MoveTo indeed functions in cases like moving NPCs, but seems like there’s something, somewhere, in UEFN, not Verse, acting like an “anticheat” of sorts, snapping the Prop back to origin after the transform…

Being stubborn, I’m keeping iterating on the script, trying to make it as minimalist as possible…

for the record, this is where I am at

using { /Fortnite.com/Devices }
using { /Fortnite.com/Characters }
using { /Verse.org/Simulation }
using { /Verse.org/Verse }
using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/Diagnostics }
using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/SpatialMath }

# This class defines a device that makes a cube follow the player
Draggable := class(creative_device):

    @editable
    Cube : creative_prop = creative_prop{}
    @editable
    Delay : float = 1.0  # delay between each movement in seconds
    @editable
    MinDistance : float = 200.0  # minimum distance to maintain from player
    @editable
    VolumeTrigger: volume_device = volume_device{}

    # Runs when the device is started in a running game
    OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
        Print("Device initialized and waiting for player to enter volume.", ?Duration := 6.0)
        VolumeTrigger.AgentEntersEvent.Subscribe(TriggerWakeupAsync)

    # Function to handle the event asynchronously
    TriggerWakeupAsync(InPlayer:agent):void =
        spawn{TriggerWakeup(InPlayer)}

    # Async function that handles the logic when a player enters the volume
    TriggerWakeup(InPlayer:agent)<suspends>:void =
        if (FortCharacter := InPlayer.GetFortCharacter[]):
            Print("Player entered volume and attached!", ?Duration := 6.0)
            FollowPlayer(FortCharacter)

    # Function to make the cube follow the player
    FollowPlayer(Player:fort_character)<suspends>:void=
        loop:
            Sleep(Delay)
            PlayerPosition := Player.GetTransform().Translation
            CubePosition := Cube.GetTransform().Translation
            Direction := NormalizeVector(PlayerPosition - CubePosition)
            DistanceToPlayer := VectorDistance(PlayerPosition, CubePosition)
            if (DistanceToPlayer > MinDistance):
                TargetPosition := PlayerPosition - Direction * MinDistance
                Cube.MoveTo(TargetPosition, Cube.GetTransform().Rotation, 0.1)

    # Function to normalize a vector
    NormalizeVector(Vector:vector3) : vector3 =
        Magnitude := Vector.Length()
        if (Magnitude > 0.0):
            return Vector / Magnitude
        else:
            return Vector

    # Function to calculate the distance between two vectors
    VectorDistance(VectorA:vector3, VectorB:vector3) : float =
        return (VectorA - VectorB).Length()

It compiles, runs in game… still, prop snaps backto original position immediately.

Odd.

I will keep working on it and report my findings here.

… Yet Another wasted weekend :frowning:
