Simple Move to Location

Hi,

does anyone know why this doesn’t work?

I think this only work with ai controller
Not with the player controller

still does not work

I mean u can’t use it on player that you are possing

how do you do that so that it works with a player?
If the character is in the collision, he should move to the target on his own.

Well, I found this, but it’s for an custom input for the player’s character

Exactly what object are you using for “other actor”?

i only use Player (Character) and Actor

Create a new player controller
In that controller do your move to location code
and don’t forget to add nav mesh in your level
And after that assign your newly created controller in gamemode
this will work


Most of the stuff that I’ve seen temporarily disables the movement inputs for your player character before the custom move order is executed

Yes but this is the only way

Why did you put “Simple Move to Location” in CustomController?

it does not work

try cube in a reachable place the location is very delecate it should be reachable
put it slightly above from the ground
and check that level has nav mesh volume

u can check unreal engine top down template
it whole thing that you want
u can take refrence from that project

I thought this would work without “Nav-Mesh-Volume” too

How would you navigate to a spot without a navigation volume?

Hey @Godlike0207!

Yeah, you’re going to have to do a navmesh for this! That’s okay though, it’s super easy.

Just bring one in from the side bar and resize it to cover the entire area that you’d be navigating. You can hit the “P” Key to show the navmesh, make sure where you want to walk is covered with green! :slight_smile:

Get back with us once you’ve done that! Here’s the documentation if you’re curious to get further into it:
