Hey! I’m trying to send an NPC 24000 Unreal Units in the X direction relative to the NPC spawner’s direction. I have this code that sends an NPC to a specific point, but how would I send an NPC in a specific direction and distance instead of a specific point?
loop:
# Create a random offset from the spawn point to walk toward.
GoToPoint := NPCSpawnPoint + vector3{X := 24000.0,
Y := 0.0,
Z := 0.0 }
# Save the position of your character which we'll use to generate more points to move to from.
NPCSpawnPoint := Character.GetTransform().Translation
# Get the NPCSpawner's rotation
NPCSpawnPointRotation := Character.GetTransform().Rotation
# Define the base forward vector
BaseForwardVector := vector3{X := 1.0, Y := 0.0, Z := 0.0}
# Rotate the base forward vector by the NPCSpawner's rotation
ForwardDirection := NPCSpawnPointRotation.RotateVector(BaseForwardVector)
# Scale the forward direction by the desired distance
MovementVector := ForwardDirection * 24000.0
loop:
# Create a random offset from the spawn point to walk toward.
GoToPoint := NPCSpawnPoint + MovementVector
Where I’m at now, because that didn’t work…is wondering how do I reference the NPC spawner’s transforms. I think I’m referencing the character’s transforms which don’t seem to be doing it.
bruh this forum is empty, people are waiting for any response weeks and months, better hang out in Warforge discord or somewhere with active community, those forums are a dead space with no crickets
keep in mind this doesn’t account for changes in height that’s a whole different can of worms
but if point a to point b is flat, this should do the trick so long as the spawners local x is facing the direction you want whatever you’re moving to go
i used a creative prop here but so long as whatever you’re moving has access to stuff like GetTransform() you should be good to go
Edit : let me know if there are syntax errors ( I typed this out on the website )
