In this Unreal Engine 5 tutorial, I show how to create a Follow NPC task for quests, using the patrol path system from a previous video. You’ll learn how to set up the task, manage optional failure distances, and add dialogue when you’re out of reach. This step-by-step guide is perfect for enhancing your quest systems with dynamic follow mechanics. Don’t forget to like and subscribe for more UE5 tutorials!
