NPC Behavior Navigatable GoToPoint Programming Question

Something like this should work

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 )

@editable Spawner : player_spawner_device = player_spawner_device{}
    @editable Prop : creative_prop = creative_prop{}

    Magnitude(vector:vector3):float=
        return Sqrt(Pow(vector.X, 2.0) + Pow(vector.Y, 2.0) + Pow(vector.Z, 2.0))

    Normalize(vector:vector3):vector3=
        Mag := Magnitude(vector)
        return vector3{X := vector.X/Mag, Y := vector.Y/Mag, Z:= vector.Z/Mag}

    Move_NPC(prop:creative_prop, spawner:player_spawner_device)<suspends>:void= #just used a creative prop here as an example you can pass in whatever you want
        prop_loc := prop.GetTransform().Translation
        spawner_loc := spawner.GetTransform().Translation
        spawner_rot := spawner.GetTransform().Rotation
        spawner_yaw_pitch_roll := spawner_rot.GetYawPitchRollDegrees()
        Move_Time := 15.0

        if(NewYaw := spawner_yaw_pitch_roll[0] - 90.0):
            if(Corrected_Spawner_Rot := MakeRotationFromYawPitchRollDegrees(NewYaw, spawner_yaw_pitch_roll[1], spawner_yaw_pitch_roll[2])):
                Spawner_Local_Forward := Corrected_Spawner_Rot.GetLocalForward()
                Normalized_Forward_Vector := Normalize(Spawner_Local_Forward)
                Dist := 24000.0
                Target_Location : vector3 = vector3:
                    X := prop_loc.X + (Normalized_Forward_Vector.X * Dist)
                    Y := prop_loc.Y + (Normalized_Forward_Vector.Y * Dist)
                    Z := prop_loc.Z
                prop.MoveTo(Target_Location, spawner_rot, Move_Time)
