How do I instance blueprint actors along a curve?

Development Programming & Scripting

I have a complex roller-style conveyor belt system with lots of turns and merges. I thought the best way to do this would be to create small rectangular conveyor volumes that represent a couple rollers, and instance them along a spline so they follow the curvature I set out, essentially creating a belt with proper turns in it that’s physics-based.

I’m finding that this method doesn’t work with any of the tuts I’ve found that work through instancing a static mesh along a curve, so I’m wondering what the proper way to instance these blueprint actors across my curve is?

Thanks in advance.

You’re right, many tutorials will instance meshes.

The ‘equivalent’ for blueprints, is spawning.

So you spawn them on begin play. The logic and math will be very similar, apart from that.
