Devices

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Drop a regular Static Mesh into the scene

  4. Launch Session
  5. Walk behind the regular Static Mesh and observe the correct Boom Collision behavior
  6. Walk behind the mesh_component Entity and observe no change

Additional Notes

Make sure the Static Mesh being used has a Simple Collision.

Also, I’m having a separate issue where I have to crouch down in order for the Boom Collision to work on the regular Static Meshes. Not sure if it’s just my project or not but FYI for testing.
