Hello,

I keep finding solutions on how to load level instances and then unload them, but what if the level instance is already in your level? How would you unload it?

I CAAAANNN convert all of my set level instances to spawnable, but if I can avoid this, that would be even better.

To be clear, this is the solution I keep finding… which works, but not what I’m after:

> To unload a level instance that is loaded in from the node Load Level Instance, use the node “Set is requesting unload and removal” from the level instance reference and the level will be unloaded.

For anyone who may be dealing with this (though, admittedly, it’s highly specific), you would create a new sublevel and move the actors of that instance into the newly created sublevel (under the Levels tab).
