Bug: PhysicsConstraint not firing OnConstraintBroken event

Development Programming & Scripting
1
  1. Create a blueprint, add 2 static meshes with physics enabled
  2. Add PhysicsConstraint
  3. Set “Component Name 1” to first static mesh, and “Component Name 2” to second static mesh
  4. Set “Linear Breakable” to true, and Linear “Break Threshold” to 1
  5. Right click PhysicsConstraint>Add Event>OnConstraintBroken
  6. Wire this to print a string “Broken!”
  7. Place blueprint in the world
  8. Play
    -Joint breaks, but “Broken!” is never printed because event is never firing on break

OnConstraintBroken should fire when the joint breaks

It’s firing sometimes for me on 5.4.2, but not always. Maybe similar bug got re-introduced with chaos.
