Getting my AI to move to location

This is a twin stick shooter - movement is locked to the xy plane.
I still cannot get the AI/actors to move to a location. They are spawning just fine, they can be moved around by other actors,
I have verified that they are being possessed by the AIController I created, but they do not move to a location - currently(0,0,0). Here is what I have…

A NavMeshBoundsVolume and Blocking Volume for the “surface”

AI Controller, which is set on the Actor. The Blackboard key’s default value has been set

Let’s start debugging this. Can you please try the following:

  • Can you draw a regular flat floor instead of the sun, and let me know if the AI starts walking?
  • Also, instead of using a behavior tree and a blackboard, the AI controller, just use the MoveToLocation Node, and let me know if the AI is working

Doing this will help me narrow down the possible cause of your issue

I am getting closer to getting it to work properly. I have started to use Nav Modifier Volumes to create the Nav Area. I think that resolved the issue I was having here, but I am now having more problems. See here if you want…

Thank You!
