When I opened my file my Side Scroller Character is just gone. The editor and world outliner show it’s there but the actual character is just invisible. I have no ideas why this is happening. I’m a little new to UE4 but I’ve never had this happen. Any ideas?
I was yeah. Something interesting just took place though. My computer died of low battery and decided it would also install updates. Not sure what was all to be updated; as far as I knew my Mac was running on the most recent updates already. Once everything was good to go, I came back to find that programs had been closed–some things saved and some things not. My project was not saved. However, when I brought in the project given to me to modify like before–everything was visible and I had no issues with the character or bringing another in. Strangest thing.
Things to double check:
- the mesh is still assigned
- the mesh if flagged as Hidden In Game
- the material has been modified and is fully transparent
Do you get the same result when you drag another instance of the this BP into the world?
So I guess problem solved? Though I’m not sure what the solution was. Though, I noticed two things.
- My computer restarted and did a couple updates that seemed insignificant because it didn’t tell me what was new.
- I saw that it said UE4 4.26.2 instead of UE4 4.26
Though I’m not sure what the solution
was.
Save often and don’t let rogue updates run amok. 
Deal! Thank you for helping me!
