Hi, is there any specific tool in UE5 or way to distribute objects, for example, solar panels, along multiple lines? I tried to use Populating Meshes Along a Spline | Tips & Tricks | Unreal Engine video, but I can’t get the result working.
It would be great to have a tool similar to RailClone in UE.
Along straight lines?
Yes!
But I want the objects to be scattered immediately on all the splines. As normal scattering.
Sorry, you’ll need to be more specific.
I have bunch of small lines. There is a small gap between them. I want to scatter solar panels along those lines. This is the point cloud preview from what I normally have in 3ds Max, using RailClone:
Same BP with a solar panel mesh
Thanks, but can you use multiple lines at once? I don’t want to offset each row manually. I have very specific lines I need to follow and there is little to none place of freedom placement of the objects.
Same code, but with two loops. One for X and one for Y. Gimme 5.
Also, I am trying to recreate your script but I don’t know where you got that N variable (I guess it is a variable?) and how did you get that 3-input multiplier (and where the Distance came from). Sorry, noob here :).
N is a variable ( how many ). You can right click on the multiplier pins and change their type.
Add Static Mesh Component translated the Vector data. You did not have such a situation. What did I do wrong?
Disconnect this
right click on the pin and choose ‘convert pin ( to integer )’
Also click on the ‘add static mesh component’ node, you can set the mesh in the details.
I converted the pins already:
Regarding what I mean.
There is a specific project of specific solar farm. There are lines (with gaps, like I showed before) which are representing the fronts of specific solar panels. I need to scatter the panels I have along those lines. Not set / offset them manually. Like with RailClone in 3ds Max or with Cloner in Cinema 4D. I can select the lines which the geometry should follow and then see those objects following those lines. The closest thing to that which I have found in the realm of UE is this:

I’m looking at your images posted at the start of the thread, you want the panels to follow the terrain elevation?
Sorry, didn’t see this until now.
You only need a spline, if the lines aren’t straight.
With this BP you can specify the distances between lines accurately.
