Using Simple Move To Location crashes UE4

edover_1 · July 12, 2014, 6:41pm

I’m trying to move a pawn from point A to point B. I was attempting to do this manually and coming close to succeeding, except for an odd ‘easing’ issue, so I figured I would use this built-in function instead.

For some reason it crashes UE4 instantly.

I deleted all code in controller blueprint, below is ONLY thing left.

Note: I DO have a nav mesh bounds volume. I’ve also tried using Self instead of ‘Get Player Controller’ but it doesn’t change end result crash.

Can someone please enlighten me as to what I’m doing wrong? Though to be honest I’ll probably just go back to what I was doing and try to fix the ‘easing’ issue.

I tried it and it worked for me.
Then I removed nav mesh bounds volume and character just didn’t move.

I have same problem. Did you find a solution or a workaround?

To be honest, we moved on to a new method using AI Player Controllers and AI Move To Location. It’s been working out fine.

Hey all,

Sorry this got missed. I’ve moved it to bug report section so we can give it proper attention. If using Simple Move To Location is still causing a crash after updating to 4.3.1, please let us know. Thanks!

Hey Ghar,

If this isn’t causing a crash, it’s probably a separate issue and should be asked in a new post. Before doing that, I would like to mention that without a Nav Mesh, Simple Move to Location will not work; Move To nodes all rely on a Nav Mesh for functionality.

Hope that helps! If not, please open a new post with more details of issue you are experiencing. Thanks!

I’m using 4.4.3 here, having same issue.

Hi

Can you and attach crash log and dump file for your project after it crashes? You can find details on how to get that information here:

Thanks!

Before doing that, just to check, do I need a Character based blueprint for Simple Move To Location to work? Or is a pawn enough?

A pawn will be enough, as long as it has a controller. Either way, it shouldn’t crash editor.

I am having same problem on 4.6.1 (4.6.1-2386410).

Prints: https://db.tt/Loj2mx3S and https://db.tt/t6VXFa7k

Also, using Move To Location (not simple one) is crashing too.

Hi Mielke,

Currently, SimpleMoveTo does not have networking support. Is this crash only happening when run on a client? Please and attach logs from project after this crash occurs. Thanks!
