Hey @mhmdamjd!

A few questions to help get things started:

• Is this for a player or an AI?
• Does your blueprint have an AI controller set up?
• Is there a reason you are not using the Move to Actor node instead?
• Are you receiving any error codes?
• Is your ‘Khimera’ properly referenced?
• Can you share more of your blueprints and possibly screenshot/video of what’s happening?

Any additional specifics you provide can go a long way in solving your problem!

1- its for a player 2-yes 3-yea the reson is its not moving to actor 4-no 5- yes 6-yea sure the player stays at his place and do some animation as for the blueprint i dont have anything but this

Hey @mhmdamjd,

So what you are trying to do will not work on a player if you’re player does not have an AI controller. Also, the image you provided gives us no more context as to what is going wrong. Can you provide screenshots of your blueprints (for example, how and where you reverence your “khimera”, what blueprint this is, etc.).

In the meantime, check out the Top Down example template built that comes with the engine for similar example of how you would want to set this up.

i reference him in system varibles and i dont have other things in my blueprint also why this dont work on a player i have ai controller why this is hapen tried also p controller didnt work

If this is a player, then “Get AI Controller” won’t work, because the player has a PlayerController, not an AI Controller.

yea i said i tried player controller it didnt work

Hey @mhmdamjd,

If you reference the “khimera” in your variables, how are you setting the variable? Are you finding actors of type or something different? If you simply add a variable without setting the variable it may not know where to go.

As @jwatte states, the AI controller reference will not work and it will need a player controller referenced if this is a player/has a player controller (It should not have both a player and AI controller), so that will need to be reverted back.

Please provide screenshots of your blueprints of where you set the variable “Khimera”. Without knowing what you are doing with your blueprints, there is not a lot we can do or tell you about what is going wrong.

Any additional blueprint screenshots and specifics you provide will go a long way in solving your problem.

Hey @mhmdamjd,

If there is only one actor of that type, you can set the actor like so:
