How active a NPC behavior of a pawn if I unpossess him?

Like in LEGO games or Dishonored when you possess a NPC he lose the behavior and you control him…how i can return to my original body and make them start to being controlled by a AI?

Prior to possessing him, save his controller (AI) somewhere, when you want to release it, make his old controller possess him again.

Can you post a screenshot? I want to know how you do this.

Hey,

on a very simple scale I believe it would be something like this:

AIController is a variable with the variable type Controller.

PlayerCharacter is a variable with the variable type Character.

I got nothing to test this on, so I am not 100% certain whether this will work.

Answer to problem with Actor freeze in air on unpossess.

Why does an unpossessed Character stops movement?

The problem with the last listed solution is that it will still slightly pause the movement. Say, if your character is falling and you do this; they’ll pause for a second in the air and then begin falling again. I’ve found an even more elegant solution to this problem. There’s a Boolean in the CharacterMovement component called ‘Run Physics No Controller’, by setting this to True it will solve the problem.
