Vehicle Lifespan

Development World Creation

Hi Folks

I have created a vehicle and all seems to work OK, however when I play in the editor my vehicle disappears after about 1minute (same period elapses all the )

I am aware of the lifespan shown in the details panel it is set to zero ( have tried a very large number with no difference)

I have also tried setting the lifespan in the construction script with no affect.

Sure it will be something simple somewhere, Is there any other locations such as game mode settings?

Please Help

Hi

Can you simulate it and have the car appear?

Hi
Thanks for the reply,

Yep I have the vehicle in a level, and it is set to Player 0,
When I click play I have possesion of the vehicle and can drive it without problem, then 60 secs later the vehicle disappears and I am left floating in the level.

If I click simulate …The vehicle rolls down a slope (gravity) I can push it around, and it disappears just the same as when in play mode.

I have tried running it as a stand alone game … exactly the same behavior

Here is a vid of the problem

Thanks

How do you embed videos here?

did you setup any scene bounds by any chance? it looks like when you go beyond world bounds and your pawn is destroyed.

Hi
I have not set up any scene bounds,
but if I do not drive the vehicle at all, it still disappears after the same interval.

Well I have narrowed it down a little… It is something to do with that particular vehicle not project settings.

I crated a new project and migrated the vehicle… still the same behaviour.

Other vehicles work ok in the new project
