When I click on Play, my screen is black ? (Planetary Scale)

Hi all,

Thanks in advance.

I am creating a planetary scale scene, and I have the Earth (Sphere) at a scale of 100,000.

I have a basic sattelite type shape imported in the scene as well as a player start with the Third Person BP. For some reason, when I click the Play button, the screen just goes black and I can’t control anything or look around at anything.

Also when I exit the Play mode, I find that the camera is at the centre of the sphere…

I’ve attached a screenshot to show what’s in the scene for convenience.

Thanks.

When the engine can’t place your player because of collision issues, it usually puts them in the center of the map ( 0,0,0 ).

Have you checked the collision on the satellite?

Hi,

I have checked the collision, and even if I turn off collision on the Satellite, it stills has the same issue.

Thanks.

Check in you “World Settings” that you are not overriding anything my mistake in your GameMode by accident (it’s a local override). Double check player controller & default pawn class.

Also what is your player spawning mechanism? Is it automatic via player start or using OnPostLogin in Game Mode?
