This is a problem that should have been easily resolved by the hundreds of search results explaining it. Many of which are in this forum.
Yet, this node is just not working.
I have a simple set up where if a zombieAI actor is within killing range of the player then I want to set the player’s max walk speed to a fraction of its normal value. Kind of like the player is being slowed down by the proximity to an enemy.
I’ve tried this multiple ways, but no matter how I set it up the max walk speed never changes.
Here is a screenshot of my latest attempt.
In this BP I’m calling the player character’s movement component from my zombieAI character blueprint. Everything up to that branch is functioning completely fine, I even have the visual feedback of the True/False paths being taken, however; the max walk speed value never changes!
I also tried setting the max walk speed directly from the character BP and that didn’t work either. I had it set up to respond to a boolean that would set to True if within melee range of an enemy. The boolean would set True, but the downstream “set max walk speed” would still not change.
I even tried a simple “Left Shift” pressed -> set max walk speed, but that didn’t work either.
Does anyone have any insight on this?
Thanks.
