Hello, I am trying to change collision profile of a destructible mesh using blueprints but it has no effect. Searching forums I found this describing same issue: [Destructible mesh problem - Bug? - Blueprint - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?77836-Destructible-mesh-problem-Bug) It is from April 2015 and mentions bug UE-7062. I was wondering if there are any news about fixing issues. Thank you, ---

Hi Adrian, correct bug report for that issue is UE-7162, which is for not being able to change collision profile for destructibles during runtime with Blueprints. It is currently backlogged, and we don’t have a timeframe for when/if it will be fixed. I’ve alerted Tim Hobson to this and [original AnswerHub post](https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/94491/destructable-mesh-chunk-without-collision.html) for this issue, to see if he has any recommendations for a workaround, but you may need to find an alternate method for now. ---

Why do you need to turn on collision of destructible mesh? If you swap it out, it’s already ready to get blown up ^^
