I’m making a minigame in Unreal for a university project and it involved creating an endless road, so I used [this tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRRbs-y1hO0) to create one. However, I’ve run into a frustrating bug where the pieces spawn overlapping each other and when they start despawning, the ones beneath the car go away and it falls into the void.

I believe this bug is being caused by the values set to the code indicating what the space between spawned parts should be, but I don’t know what it should be set to since the Unreal editor shows the scale multiplier instead of a unit value, which I find really annoying. I would greatly appreciate any help with solving the problem, and I will probably be posting the blueprints here in case the problem gets more complex.

You can find a static mesh’s approximate size in centimeters by hovering your cursor over it in the Content Browser.

If you want to do it through BP, you can get the bounds and multiply them by the scale.

In addition to @Vahab’s solution, you can also use middle mouse to draw a line in ortho editor views (top/left/front/etc..) to measure things. This works best with grid snap turned on and the meshes were created with some multiple of 10 in size. For example, in my side-scrolling Metroidvania project, I made all the basic wall meshes 400 units long and 300 tall. If I middle click the edge of a wall and drag line straight to other side in front view, it shows this:

If your meshes are some arbitrary size but still whole numbers ( like 261 units long or something). you can turn grid snapping down to 1. In screen above my grid was set to to 10.
