Unable to Select Child Actor

Development Programming & Scripting

I have had this problem for a little bit, but I thought it was supposed to function this way. I’m trying to do procedural generation, and it’s doing fine, but if I want to individually edit the rooms that are spawning, it doesn’t allow me to. This GIF is an example that I found of my problem.

I found this in a posted question exactly like mine, and it was discovered that it was a bug, but it hasn’t been fixed and it’s been a while. Is there any word on when this will be fixed?

Hi MasterCheif,

I’m not sure exactly which post you are referring to but I did find an existing report in our system for this. It’s JIRA UE-16317.

This is by design because the spawned child actor isn’t intended to be editable in that way. It’s managed by the component and would need to be edited from the BP itself or through exposed variables.

Cheers,

TJ
