“It doesn’t work it a packed game.”

I have had the same experience and reported to epic a while back 🙂

I’ve experienced with getting vertex locations in packaged games since 4.3

If you start a new Answerhub, link me and I can add more info to your report 🙂

Please include your pictures and then I can add info, you could also add my code below to the initial post.

For Epic Staff:

Here's the code being used that works perfect in pre-packaged game and does not work in packaged game.

**It seems that using the Render Data / LOD info in packaged game** does not work some reason?

```

Comp->StaticMesh->RenderData->LODResources[0].PositionVertexBuffer

```

Is there an after-packaging better way to get the vertex position info?

Please note the rotation/translation of each vertex is scaled by the FTransform to match actor scaling and rotation.

```

Comp->GetComponentLocation() + RV_Transform.TransformVector(VertexBuffer->VertexPosition(Itr))

```

**Entire C++ Code**

```auto

bool UVictoryBPFunctionLibrary::GetStaticMeshVertexLocations(UStaticMeshComponent* Comp, TArray<FVector>& VertexPositions)
{
	if(!Comp) return false;
	if(!Comp->IsValidLowLevel()) return false;
	
	// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	// Vertex Buffer
	if(! Comp) return false;
	if(! Comp->StaticMesh) return false;
	if(! Comp->StaticMesh->RenderData) return false;
	if( Comp->StaticMesh->RenderData->LODResources.Num() < 1) return false;
	// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	
	// ~~~End of Pointer Safety Checks~~~
	
	// ~~~~~~~~~~~~
	VertexPositions.Empty();
	// ~~~~~~~~~~~~
	
	FPositionVertexBuffer* VertexBuffer = NULL;
	VertexBuffer = & Comp->StaticMesh->RenderData->LODResources[0].PositionVertexBuffer;
	if(!VertexBuffer) return false;
	// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	
	int32 VertexCount = VertexBuffer->GetNumVertices();
	 
	FTransform RV_Transform = Comp->GetComponentTransform(); 
	for(int32 Itr = 0; Itr < VertexCount; Itr++)
	{
		VertexPositions.Add(
			Comp->GetComponentLocation() + RV_Transform.TransformVector(VertexBuffer->VertexPosition(Itr))
		);
	}
	
	return true;
}

```
