Programmatic (not procedural) Level Creation

Because the first thing I tried when I installed ue4 was attempt to build level with modular blueprints. Lightmaps did not bake for blueprinted actors and were marked brown in lightmap density view. ( Viewport Modes in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.3 Documentation )

Now, does that work with lightmap baking?

I don’t know, would have to try; If it doesn’t work there’s there something the engine could improve I guess.

Edit: yep, seems Epic have it planned, but didn’t implement yet, found a post from Staffer:

After some further investigation I found there was a feature request entered very recently to enable the ability to have lighting built and applied correctly to a blueprint actor that has been created by another blueprint within the construction script. Since the construction script is one of the first calculations when launching a game or project, it would make sense that actors created within are able to have baked static lighting. As for when this feature is implemented, I cannot say currently.
