Random assets appearing on map during game start

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Hey, I’m making a map with lots of cyber city assets when I start the game, there some broken assets that just appear in random places of the map. When I look over at UEFN
however, everything looks perfectly fine and in place. I tried replacing and simply starting from scratch to make sure everything saves, but nothing’s working. The assets just keep appearing randomly and it’s very frustrating to figure out. Anyone know a fix?

Hello,

Unless someone has experienced EXACTLY what you’re going through you’re going to have a hard time finding help. Make sure to supply screenshots, or if possible, video.

They could seem “random” because they are spawned during play (from an initiated blueprint you may not know about). OR they are made “invisible” during editing mode.
OR something else.

The Cyber city assets are a bit broken, My first hint was one of the cyber buildings randomly spawning an extra Neon sign at the exact world origin 0,0,0.

It’s a Beta - don’t worry - little things like this will get fixed over time, but i’m sure they are super busy fixing our allowed assets etc at the moment… they will get around to these little annoyances soon :innocent:

Some things that help:

  1. If it breaks in UEFN, give it a try in FNC instead.
  2. AVOID GROUPS like the plague!!! They are completely broken.
  3. Cyber City Galleries have lots of grouped “BP_Sunburst_Billboard”. They all break.

Reproduce:

  1. Open UEFN. New blank world.
  2. Add Gallery: Cyber City Building Prop Gallery 3.
  3. Translate (Move) gallery somewhere away from Origin.
  4. Congratulations! You now have a borked map.

I have tried moving the billboards back to the correct spot on the buildings etc, but unfortunately this just creates more ghosts. My only suggestion is to find the assets individually and avoid the gallery.
Best of luck :wink:

Oh, I managed to clean up my one of my borked maps eventually - I think I just kept deleting the cyber buildings until i found the one that was creating the ghosts.
I can’t remember if I deleted it via FNC/Live-Edit or UEFN, so try both :person_shrugging:

Thank you for diving in to this! I’ve had this issue as well and now I know it wasn’t me just doing stupid stuff that messed up my map. Now I know it’s actually the cyber stuff. Thanks again!
