PLANTS/ELEMENTAL GALLERIES HAVE STUTTERY HITBOXES AND COLLISION

Summary

In Creative Mode and UEFN, the majority of plant props in game have an issue where they cause
Hitching
Glitching
Stuttering
Lag
Collision issues

All when walking through or standing on the plant props.

This impacts many games especially highly detailed ones as not only does it create a poor player experience, it also means 1.0 creators cannot build nice foliage as they cannot import their own assets.

It has been ongoing for approximately 2 years now.

This includes plants, tall flowers, small flowers, most foliage, and many of the elemental galleries including the new skull/underworld water pieces.

Steps to Reproduce

Step 1 - Launch a creative or UEFN session
Step 2 - Go into the creative inventory
Step 3 - Go to galleries
Step 4 - Sort by nature
Step 5 - Place down a variety of plants from different galleries (especially newer galleries) The chapter 1 galleries seem to be ok for the most part
Step 6 - Walk/run through, or jump on top of many of these plants
Step 7 - You will then notice, shaking, stuttering, lag and collision issues on the majority of plants in game

Expected Result

When following the list provided above, i would expect to be able to walk, run and jump through ANY of these plants smoothly with no collision.

I would expect the plants to move slightly when running through them like they used to, but that should not have any impact on player collision.

Observed Result

When following the list provided, the observed result is plants having glitched hitboxes.
Causing shaking and stuttering when running, walking, or jumping through them
They do not seem to behave properly for the most part
However a lot of chapter 1 plants seem to not have this problem.

But the majority of plants in game do.

Additional Notes

Above i linked one of my old island codes, a Jungle map using a lot of different foliage.

I have not been able to update this map for years due to the severity of the plant problems.

If you run through the map/plants you should be able to see this issue easily.

The issue is extremely detrimental to console/mobile creators as they can’t import their own assets
It has been ongoing for multiple years
Even brand new galleries keep having the problem, especially the plants/elemental galleries

Thanks @Brandisnappy, we’ll take a look.

I tried to use the BigBush Christmas on my map and it has the same error. She has a bump that is impossible to remove. And this collision makes it impossible for the player to hide inside the bush.

Yeah i noticed this recently too.

It seems like the issue has actually spread to more props instead of being fixed.

Thank you!

Yes, i have had the same problem recently too. I placed some bushes on my map, they were working well until chapter 2 update two days ago.
