In UE 5.3 'MeshSocketToPoints' doesn't exist. If you are on the newest 5.3, it won't work this way. Here's the new way- Get Actor data ->bounds modifier ->transform points ->stat mesh spawner -> copy points...source ->mesh sampler

HI, I am trying to follow this tutorial but the Unreal version I have 5.3.2 the 'Meshsoketto points' don't exist, and when I try to load the 'pointsfrommesh' it doesn't give the option to switch the blueprint element type, and no matter what I choose it just doesn't works, it doesn't generate any debug points. thank you

@@xrlearn Sorry bud, that don't do anything at all. Side note; This really REALLY makes me mad it's the one thing utterly WRONG with Unreal Engine, they make cool stuff and in the next version its gone, then everyone has to make (or doesn't bother making) a new tutorial, because that takes time and effort by the time the new information is out they've updated the engine again and removed/rename/replace another node down the tree that blows it up all over again. I really feel for content creators such as yourself, I really do because you get it in the neck for being wrong, when you wasn't at the time.

I needed my pivot to be on the cornet of each element. Was very important. Plus the directions. You explayned it in the videos but I missed that. Now I can move to the next videos. Thank you!

Hey, first of all, great video, you deserve a lot more sub ! I wonder how to move the pcg result to a mesh, because the pcg only stay in 0,0,0 and can't move. I already see you answering about that especially with the get actor data, but when i do that, nothing happen anymore, can't connect mesh sampler and get actor data together, do you have any idea ?

Great tutorial, thank you for demonstrating the steps. A quick question, do you know how to make the PCG graph to follow the mesh? If I move the mesh, the PCG stays at (0,0,0). Thanks.

@xrlearn Жыл бұрын

Not sure if there is a way but a hack I tried is to make PCG graph as a child of the mesh so that when you move mesh, PCG follows along as well.

If you change position, it should update at the runtime. Try to do simulate instead of play and should update
