Straight spline corner

[ldn127]

Hey,

So I made a basic fence spline, however im not sure how to make the corners only place a straight fence piece, as it currently curves the pieces.

Would be awesome if anyone knows this, thanks

You have to calculate the tangents correctly. Now you are using the tangent of the spline and that is why the mesh is forced to bend. If you want a straight piece your tangents must have the same direction. (basically EndPoint - StartPoint of the mesh). But if you also want to have a corner where your spline point is then you have to adjust your mesh positions so that 2 pieces meet exactly in the corner. I hope it helps.

THIS is exactly what issue I have been dealing with

Spline Point Help! for procedural Fences

Hi I have tried practically every procedural spline and instance static mesh tutorial On youtube and while they work I keep having the same issues over and over again and could use some advice. I Dont want my meshes to be deformed and I want them to be direct lines to each mesh that rotates on the meshs Pivot point EG: the fence post, But im really struggeling make a BP that automatically does this. Maybe by automatically placing a spline point at each section length Under each post would wo…

Can someone please explain How to do this or even better show it IN BP.
