I have hundreds of very similar objects that get placed dynamically so I have a Blueprint that contains a bunch of different meshes.
In my construction script I iterate through the scene components and make the ones I don’t want invisible.
This all seems to work fine and when I place the Blueprint in a level and type in the name of the mesh I want to display everything looks fine. In the screen shot below I’ve decided to show the “Step_Up_001” mesh.
It looks great doesn’t it?
However, I noticed that even with a single object in the level with l I was having difficulty moving around and also having a hard time selecting them with the “ActorBeginCursorOver” event.
Eventually I turned on “Show Collision” and was horrified to see that all the collision meshes were active, i.e. making a scene component invisible doesn’t turn off the collision mesh as I thought it would.
I swiftly open the Blueprint with the intention of adding a “Set Collision” node for each scene component.
But there isn’t one!
Obviously I’ve Googled about for a few hours but I haven’t found anything useful. In the past when this has happened it’s usually been because there is a better way to do what I’m trying to do.
Is there a way to turn off scene component collisions from a Blueprint- or should I be doing something different?
All help gratefully received.
