Platform not moving

[Jonathan_Reeves1]

I am in the Obstacle Assault course and when I had the cube it was moving back to my player location and then when I implemented the Z axis logic in the tick function it would no longer move to where my player was but would move up. I am having a similar issue with getting the platform to spawn or jump next to my player character.

Could you show your code, and if it’s not too much trouble a video so we’re definitely on the same page?

Yes give me just a few seconds. I don’t know about the video but I will try.

#include "MovingPlatform.h"

// Sets default values
AMovingPlatform::AMovingPlatform()
{
 	// Set this actor to call Tick() every frame.  You can turn this off to improve performance if you don't need it.
	PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;

}

// Called when the game starts or when spawned
void AMovingPlatform::BeginPlay()
{
	Super::BeginPlay();

}

// Called every frame
void AMovingPlatform::Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
	Super::Tick(DeltaTime);

	FVector LocalVector = MyVector;

	LocalVector.Z = LocalVector.Z + 1;

	MyVector.Y = MyVector.Y + 1;

	SetActorLocation(LocalVector);

	// Move platform forwards
		// Get current location
		// Add vector to that location
		// Set the location
	// Send platform back if gone too far
		// Check how far we've moved
		// Reverse direction of motion if gone too far

I was able to figure this out. I had forgotten to copy the player location transform and paste it for the location transform of the MovingPlatform. Thank you.
