Accidentaly deleted my scene's Sky Sphere

The title is pretty self explanatory, I’ve went over several other forums regarding this issue and wasn’t able to get it back into my scene, any advice?

You can find the BP_Sky_Sphere under EngineContent->EngineSky

Alternatively, if you search for Sky in the Place Actors Panel, you will find it there too.

You will have to reset the properties though.

These are the properties set in a default new project:

  • Directional Light Actor : (if you create a fresh project this is a Directional Light called “Light Source”)
  • Sun Brightness: 75
  • Cloud Speed: 2
  • Cloud Opacity: 1
  • Sun Height: 0,348239

I’ve already tried but with no luck

It happened for me and I just created a new actor with the exact name of the sky sphere original actor , opened another ue4 project , copied all the variables & functions and pasted it into the new actor and it worked for me

Really, thank you guys. You saved me about 50 hours of work🙏

dont be over panic. If the engine content deleted, you can go epic launcher, remove engine content from your current version, then reinstall. Everything comes back.

You should consider using a source management software and commit your changes from time to time when you are happy with your current work.
Something like Apache Subversion Binary Packages

Or just on the command line, if you use Win10:
winget install TortoiseSVN

or

winget search subversion

You don’t have to use Subversion, but don’t consider source management tools which are bad with binaries or do not have the checkout of a small part of the repository as normal action if you want to use it for game development.
