Moving Platform relative to current position within a given Range

[Cribbel]

Hey,

I am trying to make a system for platforms, in which I place a few moving platforms in the world and they move within a range at the spot they were placed. As an example:

Imagine the platform is placed at 10, 10, 10 in the world. I now wanna move it along the Y axis + and - 10 from the current position. But if I now place it at 30, 30, 30 it should take that position and move it + and - 10 on the Y axis. I did this before in Unity with no problems, so I tried to use similar logic using the blueprint system in UE4.

Here is my approach, but for some reason nothing happens within the world. All platforms stay still 0 movement is seen. In my head this blueprint seems logical, but I am still very new to acutally mechanisms in blueprints. So far I am only good with material blueprints.

Any help is greatly appreciated and please no matinee, I want this to be pure blueprint (as far as possible).

Thanks in advance
Kind Regards

Your platforms are they components? because you Move Component To component pin is empty. Also shouldn’t this logic be triggered instead of ticked?

Hmm that might be it, I just added a mesh to the blue print and thought it would automatically reference that. I will try this once I am back on my PC, and for the second question. Its suppose to be constantly moving (for now) so I think using Event Tick should be the right choice. Thanks already

Hi man , this is on my first Platform selfmoving.
you can give him a Distance , a direction (vector). and a speed(changing the X in the DO1onX)
It will go endlessy forward and back.

Hope this help you .
