I get this error when trying to spawn the advanced vehicle blueprint: “attempting to move a fully simulated skeletal mesh”
I’m trying to follow the UE4 video series on creating a checkpoint racing game but this error appeared for me and not in the video. not sure how to spawn a vehicle without this error, but i insist on clean projects. any help is appreciated
Hi spdemille,
It may help to post a screenshot or 2 or your setup showing exactly how you are spawning the vehicle blueprint.
no, i cannot post screenshots however it is the rather obvious method of calling “spawn actor from class” and the class is the unchanged default advanced vehicle blueprint.
i am following the example shown by UE on the UE youtube page nothing changed but i get this error
it does “work” but like any good programmer i have to treat warnings as errors and this raises a flag everytime right out of the box nothing changed.
Okay, I’ve got a fix for this.
(I’ve been spawning vehicles via blueprint in Dead Static Drive and 100% of the time when spawning them (and some other objects) I’d get this warning. So for like 2 years, every single time I’ve run the game I’ve had the “there were errors” message appear when exiting PIE. I’m so absolutely relieved to have fixed it.)
The fix is here:
In ActorConstruction.cpp and Actor.cpp, look for RootComponent->SetWorldTransform and SceneRootComponent->SetWorldTransform. The line numbers for 4.18 are in that tweet. You need to set the teleport options to TeleportPhysics in these calls.
