Overview

Hands-on walkthroughs for the most common integration tasks. Each tutorial references Blueprints under Content/ObjectiveWaypointSystem/ and includes worked examples you can try on Map/Overview.

Before you start

Open the FAB project, load Map/Overview, and press Play once so you understand the default demo: F paths to an objective, minimap click paths to a location.

1. Getting started — migrate BP_WaypointComponent and add it to your pawn.
2. Try the demo — understand the shipped ThirdPersonCharacter flow.
3. Find path to actor — connect your quest or interaction system.
4. Switch navigation modes — pick spawn markers or spline trail.
5. Customize visuals — art pass on arrows and spacing.
6. Migrate — only when moving into your own project.
7. Blueprint reference — property and function lookup.

Example presets (quick reference)

Apply these on BP_WaypointComponent class defaults for fast experiments.

Quest marker	BP_WaypointComponent	Nav Mode Spawn, Mesh Distance 200, Max Number Of Meshes 40	Standard objective arrow trail
Minimap ping	ThirdPersonCharacter	Set Objective Location from minimap UV → call Find Path to Location	RTS / open-world map clicks
Follow moving NPC	BP_WaypointComponent	Tick Time 0.25, Mesh Distance 300	Targets that move during gameplay
Spline floor trail	BP_WaypointComponent + pawn	Nav Mode SplineMesh, implement BPI_Waypoint on pawn	Ground-hugging path line
