Hello .first thing first , i’m very grateful to effort you guys are doing at epic .
As title suggests , issue of "Deleted Actor " not getting cleared from scene outliner , still persists in 4.7 .
I’m aware that there is some topic about this, best thread was this one , which contains useful info and in end a “fix” which says issue is solved in 4.7 version of engine. :
To easily reproduce this problem , you can use "RealisticBlueprint Weapon " pack from marketplace ( i’m guessing you guys have access to market place contents ? ) and load untitled map . this pack contains best simulations for calculating projectiles that i have seen so far .
go to scene , where there is 3 blueprint boxes at 10 , 25 , 50 meters . shooting 25 or 50 meters away boxes wont cause “deleted actor” in scene outliner , but shooting 10 meters box “from closest point to it”, will generate a "Deleted Actor " in outliner which doesnt get cleared. generally shooting at something very close will generate this problem ( try shooting at your feet) . it seems spawning an actor and destroying it very very very fast , would cause this . here is pic to help clarify :
Edit : there is no need to use “Realistic Blueprint Weapon” at all to simulate this , just created a first person blueprint template , go veeeeery close to a physic Cubes which are scattered in this map , until it is literally in your face , then shoot , here you go ,persistent Deleted actor .
So is there anyway to fix this ? Thanks in advance
Thank you for your post. I have been able to replicate this issue internally. I have created a bug report and submitted it to developers. Jira ticket number is UE-11866 for tracking. I have also added myself as a watcher so I will be updated when changes are made. I will be sure to update this thread with any changes that are made concerning this issue.
Thank you for your patience while we work this out,
I think time i posted this was about 4.6.X engine version , 4.8-release is available now and it is still not fixed . when it is going to be fixed anyway ?
Just create a First person template , go very close to a box (closer than it is shown in picture in this tread) , shoot ! deleted actor appear in scene outliner and it never get cleared .
We entered bug with 4.7.2, but it has not been addressed internally yet. We’ll update this post when we see any change in its status. Thanks for your patience!
I am Destroy()-ing actors and I have same issue, my actors are attached initially to others, I detach them and destroy them, plenty of (Deleted Actor) entries remain in Outliner even if I force call garbage collector like GEditor->GetEditorWorldContext().World()->ForceGarbageCollection(true);
Happens in UE 4.13.0!
I attempted to reproduce this in 4.13.2 and 4.14.1 but I couldn’t get your results.
Could you try reproducing it in 4.14.1 to make sure latest version didn’t fix issue? And if it does repro, could you provide exact steps and/or a small test project with issue?
