How to set the Start Level using World Composition

Development Programming & Scripting
1

Hello everyone, I’m very lost with world composition.

I have a few levels where I’ve been doing different things, but now that I started playing around with World Composition I’d like to ignore some levels.

I created a level called MainLevel which is the Persistent Level, then created two other levels named Woods and Woods02. I positioned the levels in the world to test this, but all the other levels I don’t want for this test showing up in the Level list:

When I start the game I’d like to start in the PlayerStart of the Woods level, but the player is being spawned in one of the other levels (grayed out levels in the image).

How am I supposed to handle the levels if I just want the game to works with the ones I specify?, in this case Woods and Woods02

Hi!

In Level Blueprint, you can use Open Level or Load Stream Level and connect it to Event Begin Play. Type needed name of your level and can test this level directly.

Hi,

World composition maps (persistent level and all sub-levels) should be in separate folder. Because world composition auto-discovers sub-levels by traversing folder structure starting from persistent level folder.

That was it, thank you !

It was answer to first part of question -

but all the other levels I don’t want for this test showing up in the Level list:

Answer to second part:

When I start the game I’d like to start in the PlayerStart of the Woods level, but the player is being spawned in one of the other levels (grayed out levels in the image).

is:

  1. Put PlayerStart in Persisten Level in place where You want to start game from.
  2. Set streaming layers in World Composition.
  3. Play - sublevel level will load based on LevelBounds and streaming layers settings. You really are not “in” sublevel (coz player start is in persistent), but You see and can interact with sublevel (it was streamed in). This is the correct way of doing.
  4. Profit.
