Hi Guys,  
I’m having a problem with my game. I don’t know why but it started again:

 ![246428-print1.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/2/5/6/256bf19e262dff7826260f9919ec0832de1cf265.png)

In one of my maps when i try to use the foliage tool, they start to float on the ground like in this image.  
The strange thing is that the ones who i painted on the ground before are there ok, only if i try to add more foliage i have the bug.

Sometime ago this was a bug and it looks like its fixed on the 4.24 version but my project is on the 4.23 and i can’t update it now because there’s some plugins i use who don’t have the 4.24 version yet and when i tried to update it without them i had a lot of error messages, so think i will have to wait ☹

\*\*\* UPDATE:  
I updated my project to the 4.24 version and the problem still persists. Here in the “UE-60061” it said it was fixed 😕  
Here’s the link:

Try changing the view to ‘player collison’. The tool puts the foliage on the nearest blocking surface, maybe you have something you are not aware of there…

Hi friend, thanks for the idea. I tried but it looks like there’s nothing blocking it ☹

I tried again and now i finally could update to the 4.24 version, but the problem still persists 😕

I don’t know why but the Z Offset it was 5000 on the foliage tab, i don’t remember changing that, but if i put back to zero as a new foliage did, it will back to work properly.
