Spring arm is not springing

Spring arms have stopped working. Completely. They have stopped reacting to environment


I don’t know how it happened and I cannot find a way to fix it.

This is kind of urgent.

Thanks in advanced

Hi ,

Have you checked to make sure Do Collision Test setting for Spring Arm hasn’t been disabled? Did you make any change to Probe Size? Is collision on your environment pieces set to ignore or overlap collision channel your Spring Arm tests against?

If you’d like, I can take a look at project and see if I can locate source of problem. You can upload it somewhere like Dropbox or Google Drive and get me a download link, either here or privately on forums:

Hope we can help!

Hi ,

Thanks for sending me project to look over! As I suspected, you have Do Collision Test disabled on Spring Arm in MyCharacter Blueprint. Do Collision Test is what forces Spring Arm to push forward when anything collides with it. Simply enabling this setting fixes problem as far as I can tell:

If I missed another problem with Spring Arm component in project, please let me know. Hope this helped!
