Spawning random meshes at random places within bounding box

[bgeviljim]

Really struggling with this… I have made zero progress, so have nothing to share.

Can someone please help me with a construction script to create a blueprint (not using the PCG plugin) to add random meshes, with random (non-overlapping) positions within a bounding box.

I would like to be able to specify how many meshes are applied. I would like to edit the size of the bounding box each time I use it in the editor.

This is for use in the editor - not runtime.

Thanks in advance!

This will get you most of the way

-Random Point In Box- node orientation always default zero in world. How can I change this

Gotcha, it doesn’t work in 4… Hold on… So the box node doesn’t work correctly in 4, you have to do it all locally, and then convert to world space at the last moment [image] [image] All scaling and rotation has to be done on the actor, not in the blueprint ( the way I wrote the code there ) [image]

the only other thing is non-overlapping, which I must have covered a dozen times, but can’t find it right now. You basically have to record all the locations you’ve used and check the new random point against them

Thanks for responding!

The issue I have is that I’m trying to do this in a Constructions Script - the Spawn Actor From Class node is Event Graph only… I need this blueprint to help me create scenes not in runtime…

I can follow your flow to get location/random points in the box, but I just can’t work out how I then get that to pull meshes from a Static Mesh Array I have and place them…
