MoveToLocation does not move pawn

I want to move pawn with mouse. A possess pawn by AMyAiController : public AAIController and onClick I’m trying to move it with MoveToLocation(...) but call to this function only rotates pawn, but does not move it. UNavigationSystem::SimpleMoveToLocation(...) does same thing.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

First of all make sure you have navmesh on your map (place a NavMeshBoundsVolume on your map). If this doesn’t help try using Character rather than a Pawn.

Hope it helps.

I have NavMeshBoundsVolume. How can I posses character and not pawn by controller?

I had a similar issue with the MoveTo task of the behavior tree.
It did not work with a pawn, but with a character, it does :slight_smile:

Edit: no, i was wrong.
The problem was the fact that the I added a mesh component to the entity, which had collision, so there was an unreachable area around its location, (the navmesh was updated).

I had the same problem. This took me 8 hours to figure out.

The problem:

  • I had removed the static mesh that is supplied with ACharacter. By doing so, my MovementComponent had no rigid body to work with.
  • Instead of the static mesh, i had put in a skeletal mesh, so assumed it would be okay.

The solution:

  • Put the static mesh back in, the one that comes default with ACharacter and just leave all default settings for it
  • The player will still not move if you still have the skeletal mesh, until you go to the skeletal mesh and disable physics on it. Untick “Enable physics on dedic…”.

  • No idea, i haven’t looked into why. If anyone knows, that’d be awesome.
