Packaging problems : Actors missing parts?

[TheWolf (Volf)]

Hi, just getting into packaging and hit an interesting issue: Some of my procedural-type actors (actors that use things like spline meshes and ISMs in the CS or Dynamic Mesh components) are not working properly.

Some, which are simpler (say just a spline mesh) work just fine. While others, say one that spawns ISMs along a spline, only shows 1 ISM. Or another, that is a child of Generated Dynamic Mesh Actor and use spline meshes, ISMs and a procedurally generated mesh only displays 1 ISM and nothing else (no spline mesh, no dynamic mesh component). *none of these actors are meant to be dynamic at runtime.

This happens after packaging or if I run in ‘Standalone Game’ mode from the editor (not sure if that matters)

Update: I don’t think I changed anything relevant and suddenly my actor that is supposed to spawn ISM’s on a spline suddenly worked in a packaged build…

I’m using 5.4.2

Long story short, ISM’s eventually sorted themselves out but the kicker was: don’t use GeneratedDynamicMeshActor as a parent, use DynamicMeshActor instead. Big ups to @DevinSherry

Geometry Script Tools Meshes Not Appearing In Packaged Builds. Any Solutions?

Converting to a static mesh is one solution, but if you wish to have a more dynamic solution that doesn’t require the modeling tools, creating a ‘DynamicMeshActor’ instead of using the ‘GeneratedDynamicMeshActor’ can do the trick. [image] (DynamicMeshActor should be just above GeneratedDynamicMeshActor) You would then need to create an event or function, where you use the ‘Get Dynamic Mesh’ node to get the Target Mesh, and then you code whatever you need for that mesh. In my case I created …
