Hi everyone, I’m new to python in Unreal… I’m trying to generate simple box collisions for selected assets in the content browser, I’m able to make the selection but when I try to remove the current collision I get an error of bad type, this is the code

#Get the selected assets
selection = unreal.EditorUtilityLibrary.get_selected_assets()

#Remove current collisions
for sel in selection:
unreal.StaticMeshEditorSubsystem.remove_collisions(sel)

But then I get this error:
TypeError: descriptor ‘remove_collisions’ requires a ‘StaticMeshEditorSubsystem’ object but received a ‘StaticMesh’

Try this instead, you need to get an instance of the StaticMeshEditorSubsystem:

smes = unreal.get_editor_subsystem(unreal.StaticMeshEditorSubsystem)
smes.remove_collisions(sel)
