I can’t seem to get a nameplate to appear over a custom NPC with a verse script and a custom cosmetic.
For example, the following would work (display a nameplate):
But when changing the cosmetic to a custom actor, it stops working an doesn’t display the name anymore:
Does anyone have a clue what I’m doing wrong
Make sure that your custom actor has the same skeleton as the Fortnite one, I’d say take a look at head bones and sockets specifically, the nameplate could be using one of those to offset properly 
Thanks for the tip! However, with the example I’m using the default fn_mannequin as skeletal mesh which I assume should work?
You sure the Character Blueprint setting can be a default actor here ?
Wdym? I can set an actor as the cosmetic (appearance) of an npc and in the actor ive added a skeletal mesh of fn_mannequin (as in the image I’ve provided above)
I thought it would take a SkeletalMeshActor instead of a base Actor containing a Skeletal Mesh Component but maybe I’m wrong
Yeah no I’m pretty sure its only actors:
Clicking the plus also redirects you to creating a new actor, but I still have no clue what I could be doing wrong or that its a bug. I suppose I’ll also add it to the issues and bug reporting section (a reference to this question that is)
