Hello!

I have a problem with AI that is still rendered behind the wall. But if I turn away from AI, it will unrender.

Is there a checkbox I missed? And if there are no culling for AI, can I do it manually in BP?

Anyone? It’s taking 1/3 of my fps.

All I could get is distance culling and “Line Of Sight To” (simple line trace to exact center of the AI)

it is a character or a mesh with bones?

if so… try to disable or enable this optimization option… maybe work

> By the way, when you click on the mesh component in the player character, there is a setting called “Visibility Based Anim Tick Option”. The default is to only tick pose when rendered, but you can change this to always tick pose, or always tick pose and refresh bones. See if that helps you at all, but honestly it will probably be a big performance loss.
