[4.7] Scene Component: How to Add StaticMeshComponent?

[Ghar]

Hello.

I’m trying out the new Scene Component. I want it to have some static mesh components so that every actor where I add this scene component also gets them, with the behavior included.

I noticed that there is no viewport tab, so I added a new variable of type StaticMeshComponent so I can attach it to the parent component. But I can’t seem to be able to initialize it. It’s default value in the details panel looks like this:

I think I’m missing something. Any help is appreciated.

Hi!

You cannot directly assign Static Mesh to Static Mesh Component node.

This makes me a saaad panda.

My bad, SceneComponent is not what I thought it was.

To add a StaticMeshComponent with behavior I think I have to use a Child Actor Component.
