I want to pack my project to check how it looks as a game but i have this stupid error that cannot be found on YT or even in Google please help me with this i am a new to the Engine world so i cant understand hard words since also i am not good in english
This is Error :
UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): LogInit: Display: LoadErrors: Error: Collision Profile settings do not include an entry for the Water Body Collision profile, which is required for water collision to function. Add entry to DefaultEngine.ini?
Hey there @x2lovi! Welcome to the community! Sounds like the water plugin failed to generate the collision profile in the DefaultEngine.Ini when it was imported! So we can just pop that back inside there and that should allow the build to run.
So head on over to your project folder, then Config → DefaultEngine.Ini and scroll on down to wherever your collision profiles start roughly around line 200 for my project but it varies. It’ll look a bit like this (I’m using notepad++ for this example but any text editor will do).
[/Script/Engine.CollisionProfile]
Then add this line on it’s own line but under that header, Save, then restart the engine and let me know how it goes!
+Profiles=(Name="WaterBodyCollision",CollisionEnabled=QueryOnly,bCanModify=False,ObjectTypeName="",CustomResponses=((Channel="WorldDynamic",Response=ECR_Overlap),(Channel="Pawn",Response=ECR_Overlap),(Channel="Visibility",Response=ECR_Ignore),(Channel="Camera",Response=ECR_Ignore),(Channel="PhysicsBody",Response=ECR_Overlap),(Channel="Vehicle",Response=ECR_Overlap),(Channel="Destructible",Response=ECR_Overlap)),HelpMessage="Default Water Collision Profile (Created by Water Plugin)")
Hey there @Protodyyd! Welcome to the community! Is it the exact same water profile? If possible could you back up your project, and try disabling the water plugin then reimporting it and try it once more? Generally plugin added profiles sometimes cause issues during import.
If it doesn’t work, I’m thinking it’s possible that it’s looking for a specific number, but I believed the system itself was agnostic about where it was in the profile as long as it’s syntax was correct.
Hey there @anonymous_user_3d920fea1! Welcome to the community! Usually I’d recommend creating a new post over in the Q&A section but the site is undergoing a bit of maintenance on it’s categories right now. So we can keep rolling on this thread for the moment since it’s still relevant.
Hrm, alright, so it’s not looking for an updated channel. Did the builds work previously or was it failing from the first try in this new project? Could you try opening a brand new project, adding water, slapping an ocean down then building out? (I promise this is relevant)
Hey there @GamingWithDevin! Welcome to the community! I’m glad the fix worked for you, every bit of information is a good data point for me when it comes to these types of col channel issues. If I may ask, your issue was on a fresh project as well correct?
I’ve just had same error in a fresh project. Disable, restart, enable, restart did not fix it. In my case the DefaultEngine.ini did not have a section headed [/Script/Engine.CollisionProfile] at all, so I tried adding that along with the WaterBodyCollision lines and it fixed it, yay!
Can’t help wondering if the plugin is looking for that section to add the line to and couldn’t find it!?
Hey there @Goobshyte1! Welcome back to the community! So generally the project’s collision channels should be set up in that folder the first time the project itself launches. Then when the water plugin is added it looks in there for that path and adds it. So the issue is likely in whatever mechanism plugins are using to add the collision channels or the creation of the ini file itself. Either way a report’s been summitted! Thanks for the info!
The script thing worked for me. I went to the line 200 paste [script…] thing and then on the second line i paste the other lines. Thank you now i can finally float the boat
Thanks a lot, I just remove the WaterBodyCollision line and paste your script. and it works. Before the collision of water is like a box, and after that paste now it works like a real water collision. this is a great help for me.
Hey there @Curtis_04! Welcome to the community! It can be added in any portion of the area under [/Script/Engine.CollisionProfile]. You generally delete any older entries for the water system, they’d look the same as the reference above, but possibly with a minus instead of a plus symbol.
Their is a small underlined clickable comment right after the error you can click on in 5.1 that will generate the lines required inside DefaultEngine.ini
