Character movement

Find guides and references for making Convai characters walk to objects, escort the player to a destination, and author movement points.

The Convai Unreal Engine plugin exposes two Blueprint nodes — Convai Move To and Convai Escort — that send an AI-controlled character to a resolved destination. The destination can be a whole Actor, one of its components, or a designer-authored movement point placed on it. Both nodes share the same destination-resolution and navigation logic, so a character arrives the same way whether it is walking alone or leading another character. Use this section to understand how a destination is resolved, move a character to an object, escort another character, author movement points, and look up the Blueprint API.

How character movement works Understand how a destination is resolved, how a movement point is chosen, and how arriving differs from already being there.

Move a character to an object Use Convai Move To to send an AI-controlled character to an actor, a component, or a movement point.

Escort a character Use Convai Escort to lead another character to a destination, waiting when they fall behind.

Author movement points Place designer-authored access points on a Convai Object so characters approach it from the right spot.
