Coming from unity there are many concept dont exist in unreal?

[Rainqp]

coming from unity as well. Enabling/disabling objects mean how to enable/disable an actor in unreal in playmode.

Based on my research there is currently no simple one-liner support for this. You basically need 3 things and you do that for every child component of that actor.

Here are some threads that discuss this.

Disable an Actor

So I elected to implement an empty class and called it HelperClass, so I can just access its static functions. The following are the methods I used, you can always extend this to disable other things you want to as well: void HelperClass::deactivateActor(AActor* actor) { // Deactivate this actor actor->SetActorHiddenInGame(true); actor->SetActorEnableCollision(false); actor->SetActorTickEnabled(false); // Call on children TArray<AActor*> children; actor->GetAllChildActors(children); /…

[Feature Request] Stuff I miss from Unity

Thanks for the update again. Yeah, Deactivate/Activate works perfectly. FYI, multiple Actor Deactivate works but Multiple Actor Activate doesn’t work yet; it makes all actors visible again but they won’t move. I suppose it matters what kind of components we have and there could be many corner cases. ^^ Cheers!

And here is from the official documentation. I really find this useful especially if you would like to do a feature comparison of both engines.
