Foliage overlap with static mesh or triggerbox

you were right about not needing to call overlap on every loop iteration. I didnt realize that the lower index values would still be valid if you start from the top. I ended up finding a way to get it done in c++. The only thing I’m doing in blueprints is setting the value of ‘arrayOfFoliageTypes’, because I cant seem to compile when including the procedural foliage headers.

Here’s my code if you’re interested.



for (UInstancedStaticMeshComponent* ism : arrayOfFoliageTypes) {
	TArray<int32> foliageIndexValues = ism->GetInstancesOverlappingSphere(rounded_loc_cm, radius, true);
	foliageIndexValues.Sort();
	Algo::Reverse(foliageIndexValues);
	for (const int32 foliageIndexValue : foliageIndexValues) {
		ism->RemoveInstance(foliageIndexValue);
	}
}
