In this tutorial from an Unreal Engine Tips and Tricks video, we’ll describe methods for quickly populating a lot of meshes along a spline in a performant way. The transcript follows with images excerpted from the video.

this is good tutorial on create mesh along spline, want to learn this for so long
Good evening,
First thanks for tutorial it helped me a ton with placing large amounts of objects.
I have a question to this tutorial:
Instead of having only a specific race track where the player can drive, I have a ground where the street is placed on top, where I use the given blueprint to spawn cones to mark the boundaries for the track.
To make it more believable I would like them to have physics. For example, if the player’s car drives into them they get flung away (so they need gravity, physical interaction and mass).
I managed to do this for an instanced object of the given mesh, but not the ones from the blueprint.
How would I need to modify it to achieve this?
I have not tried a “swap” implementation on this Spline BP myself, but in theory you could try to hide & disable collision on the SplineBP Mesh Instance(s) hit, then spawn the Actors with physics etc at the location of each hidden SplineBP Mesh Instance & apply appropriate impulse!
