I created a vfx based on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Qdn_0amiA
And it worked and still works in some versions, but seemingly at random the references to the skeletal mesh decide to throw the error, not even being caught in validation either. I tried deleting the references and then deleting the whole niagara and it still throws.
I really want to use this system and I know that I can but something keeps randomly going wrong. Any help would be appreciated
