BP_Actor --> How to add multiple ones to a level?

I do have multiple BP_Actors. At the moment, I drag and drop every BP_Actor manually to the level. After that, I change the location to 0,0,0.

That is not very efficient.

I want to add all of them in bulk and automatically to the Level.
How the heck can you do that?

Thx a bunch for any little info, hints, thoughts and ideas.

cheers

if at runtime you can use spawnactor
if at editor time, you might need some automation with python. or maybe a blueprint utility.

Spawnactor also works in editor time.
You can use blutilities or widget blueprints, or something new I can’t remember the name of, to create your own level editing tools.

Thank you so much. Yes, I am seeking a simple solution at editor time, not runtime.
I was not able to find any tutorial or any other direct related solution. :sob:

I never ran into this issue before - but at the moment, I do need a simple bulk solution.
Basically, when you drop a Blueprint Actor to the level, it should automatically position each of them at 0,0,0 in world position.

Never thought it could be that complicated. :sob:

Thank you so much. Hmm.. do you perhaps have seen anywhere a tutorial that shows how to use the spawnactor or any other blueprint for that specific use case?

I was searching and searching - no luck on google, no luck on youtube, and even AI can’t give me a clear instruction on how to get this done. :sob:

Yep, there isn’t much information about it, the documentation itself seems like a desert.

The idea is that you create buttons on those widgets and you can activate functionality

You could search for all the actors in a class and set them to zero.

This searches for meshes and takes the socket to spawn a bp, the transc nodes are used to make undos

or if of course this is my feeling when I have to do something with editor utilitys
