Cannot alter Rotation or Location of character capsule collision. Options vanished from Transform section of Details panel

Hi everyone.

So this is the second project that this has happened to me and it’s really frustrating. I’ll have a character created and everything works fine; but at some random point, the Capsule Component enters a locked-type of state where it can only be scaled up or down, the location and rotation options completely vanish from the details panel and the WER transform tool shortcuts (and clicking the associated buttons / icons) do not work either.

Has anyone else experienced this? And does anyone know of a way to correct it; hopefully without blowing the BP away and starting over?

Any help, suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

That is normal behaviour as your Capsule is the scene Root object and this always has only scale enabled. If you want to change that, add a “scene” component and make it the new root.

But I guess the better question is what are you trying to do?

I completely spaced that I had set it as the root component.
