When "Set Avoidance Enabled" is run in Construction Script Engine crashes since 4.6 and 4.6.1

Hey, when I have the Node “Set Avoidance Enabled” (target is the character movement component) in the construction script of a character, the engine crashes on compile and on clicking of the “components” tab of the actor (and all of its childs which are running the parent construction script). When “Enabled” is not checked, it doesn’t crash, but when its checked, engine crashes.

I had this problem with 4.6 and since I submitted the crash report at least 10 times I thought it would not be necessary to post this on answerhub, but unfortunately it still is not fixed in 4.6.1… So please fix this, I don’t want to use 4.5.1 forever (there I have no problem).

It should not be crashing, I’ll look into it, but I’ll also mark SetAvoidanceEnabled as unsafe to be called in ConstructionScript since it is unsafe to be called there.

Why do you need to call it at that point anyway? The problem is that ConstructionScript is an editor-time thing, not gameplay, and SetAvoidanceEnabled is gameplay related. Use EventBeginPlay instead.

BTW, if you have problems, crashes, whatnot, post it on AnswerHub. I’ve no idea who’s processing the submitted crash reports, but I know do get notifies about answerhub threads tagged with AI tags :slight_smile:

Cheers,
