Im trying to set up a joint between two components in a construction script. But I can not get it to work. I’ve attached an image for how my blueprint is setup. I’ve tried settings Limits in separate functions also.
I don’t understand what is missing.
Create a mesh
Create another mesh
Set one mesh to simulate physics.
Add a constraintcomponent.
Set the constrained components to the meshes I’ve just created.
When I look in the scene the joint is clearly there. But when I press play they are not connected.
I’ve tried ALOT of different setups to get this to work. I’ve also tried writing the code in C++ with mixed bad results (I’ve sorta felt like I was getting close a couple of times).
I had this same problem the other day. Try running the set constrained components on the BeginPlay event/function. This is what finally worked for me in C++ on 4.6.1
my blueprint creates 100’s of constraints in the construction script, I could store pairs of connections in an array I guess but it seems very heavy handed to me to need to run the set constrained components in the event graph.
The thing is I know 100% for sure that this used to work in previous editor versions. Thanks for the suggestion though, its a relief to know I’m not the only one who has hit this issue…
Super awesomeness, running it in Begin Play makes it work.
Thanks a alot!
I’ve attached how blueprint is setup now (and it works).
Basicly what Im gonna do in my real work is setting up a “SetConstrained”-class. And fill an array with those instead of calling “SetConstrainedComponents” and then loop through that array in the BeginPlay.
