Niagara UE5 missing sample static mesh module

Hello all, I am new to Unreal and I am diving deep into the particle effects.
Basically, I am trying to create a Niagara system where the particles are only moving upwards along a static mesh and never leaving the surface.

Not sure if it is the right or the only way to go about it, but I am trying to use the Static Mesh Velocity module and I am running into this error “The following pre-dependency is not met: SampleStaticMesh;”
There is no “fix know” option and from the add module options there is no Sample Static Mesh Module, I can only add Static Mesh Location.

Any ideas if this is a bug?
Any other ways to go about it?

Thank you in advance!

Did you try putting that in? I think it is the module it means…

The module it is asking doesn’t exist in version 5.1.0…

It’s called ‘static mesh location’ now… ( I think they forgot to update the error ).

Seems not: I have a “Static Mesh Location” module applied, but it does not resolve the “Unmet Dependency” issue.

“Static Mesh Location” works to emit from the mesh, but can’t get “Static Mesh Velocity” add velocity along normal to work.

If you make sure it’s after the static mesh location, and set that here

then it works ( but still whines )
