The mesh is invisible after migrating or exporting!

Hi there,

I’m having a problem after migrating, exporting or copying a map. The asset becomes invisible even with the static mesh and the visible and hidden Boolean set correct.

Here is the image:

Can anyone help me please?
Thank you very much

Hi Keiii,

Is this the only level that you have that is missing assets after the migration? Is this something that is reproducible with a new project that you’re aware of? If so, repro steps can be helpful, but if you’re just looking to get back to developing here are some suggestions.

  • Check the wireframe view mode to see if the actor is actually there, but not visible in lit view mode.
  • With the offending actor selected unassigned the static mesh from the details panel and reassign it again. If that doesn’t work, try the next step.
  • Delete the offending actor and place a new copy from the content browser.

Thank you!

Thank you Tim for answering me!

Yeah this is the only level that is missing after the migration. It is reproducible, always the rock_02 is invisible after migrating, exporting or copying… it is a shy rock! :frowning:

I checked the wireframe and reassign it again, and it didn’t reappeared.

A friend of mine found a solution. Thanks Maverick! :slight_smile:

I’ll post his solution here if anyone is in trouble also:

"It has something to do with the LODs! Something odd with the relation to the LODs and the project. Its a VERY easy fix.
Go to Windows on the top left, Developer Tools, Merge Actors.
Make a new folder call it Merged Actors in the project content browsers.
Then go to the Wasteland Rock folder/meshes/ Rock_02 and right click it. Find Asset Actions then Select Actors using this asset (It will select all meshes using Rock_02
Then go to Merge Actors on the right hand side in the image below, Scroll down and click Replace Source Actors and click MERGE. Save it in the new folder you created. Done! Rocks will appear. " o/

Cool. Thanks for posting your workaround.

By chance is this Rock_02 from any content that Epic has released or simply an asset you’ve created? If it’s from Epic I can grab it and at least use it as a test to see if I can reproduce on my end.

Thanks!
