simple question here, what needs to go in “Spawn Transform” on the SpawnActor StaticMeshActor blueprint node?
Obviously it works a bit different to the old Kismet spawning system but i’m at a loss with this since it’s throwing up "Error Default value ‘’ for SpawnTransform is invalid: ‘Literal values are not allowed for pass-by-reference parameters.’ " regardless of what value I put in there.
I would’ve thought it’d want a vector however it doesn’t seem happy with 0,0,0 (0,0,0) x=0,y=0,z=0 or any variation on that.
Hmm, attempting to connect a vector should automatically convert it to transform.
Anyway, you can also drag and drop to an empty area from the Spawn Transform input pin, search for “Make Transform”, and enter the vector, rotator and scale values there.
Depending on how your constructing…if you want to use the the blueprint itself as the placement for the spawn point you can use the variable Get A Reference To Self, hook that up to a Get Actor Location, then hook that up to the Spawn Transform and it creates a vector automatically. So wherever you place the blueprint actor that’s where whatever spawns.
Now…I’m having a problem spawning a character blueprint. It will spawn the character but it will not fall to the ground i.e. stuck at the spawn point. I’m using the character blueprint for testing basic move to navigation and that works when the blueprint actor is placed in the level, but when spawned the character is stuck, animating but stuck and won’t fall / move. Any ideas ?
