If you use UE 5.4 just replace "Input"-Node with "Get Landscape Data"-Node. Input node can be skipped in this case.

Watching this after 5.4 update. There are no nodes for Landscape and Landscape Height. The tooltip on your screen it says deprecated, but I'm a noob, so I'm not sure what other blueprints I should use to get the same options. I tried making a custom node on the Input box, but I don't know what I'm doing. Any help would be appreciated.

@JoelFerris3D 5 ай бұрын

If you're like me and used a static mesh actor as a base instead of an actual landscape actor, then you need to set your static mesh actor to a static object mobility, under the transforms, otherwise the PCG wont be able to spawn on static actors correctly.

@kamilbeben9900 3 ай бұрын

Once the meshes are generated the runtime cost is the same as with other static meshes - so just play around with nanite LOD and shadow settings (I've tripled my FPS rate by changing "Shadow cache invalidation strategy" from "Auto" to "Rigid" on trees - because unreal was recalculating the shadows of each leaf every frame because of the wind)

Already found it, you have to add a node called "get landscape", since "In" node does not have the landscape anymore.

Trying to follow along with this video in UE 5.4, but when I expand the input node in the PCG graph, there is only the "In" connector. Is there a setting that I need in order to show landscape and the other options? Maybe this part of the editor changed in 5.4?

You can add a node separately for that by pressing right click and adding surface sampler. I have not figured out how to get the debug to work though. Best of luck
