How to: Get rotation on all meshes in Hierarchical Instanced static meshes?

[cameron_w_r]

Hey Everyone!

So before I begin, I’m very much a newbie in terms of using UE4, so forgive me if this question seems ridiculous!

However, I’ve recently been working on a project and was wondering if anyone could help me out. I’ve created a Blueprint which utilises hierarchical instancing for a static mesh.

I was wondering how I could rotate the X (Roll) and Z (Yaw) randomly for each created instance?

Here’s my current BP for those wondering - it’s all being done in the construction script.

Thanks everyone for the help, I really appreciate it!

Hi, I was wondering if you ever get this figure out. I run into the same problem. Could not get the HISM rotate.

Have a look here:

Generate each Mesh instance with a different orientation

Not sure what you mean. Perhaps you could demonstrate the desired end result. A crude sketch will do. What’s wrong with this: [Screenshot_2.jpg] Looks pretty serious to me. [Screenshot_1.jpg] What am I not understanding? If you wish to account for the rotation of the component as well - combine / transform rotation when you instantiate. Or use the non-World node to instantiate in component space. Inverse Transform Rotation for World -> Local and vice versa for the non-in…

Does it help?
