Attach Actor to component error. Same blueprints behaving differently

[anonymous_user_5d7228ca]

Hi there,

I’m trying to attach an engine to my main vehicle. It doesn’t work,and when I exit I’m getting this error :

Warning AttachTo: ‘/Game/UEDPIE_0_arrakis_Map.arrakis_Map:PersistentLevel.Vehicle_001_Blueprint_C_10.VehicleMesh’ is not static (in blueprint “Vehicle_001_Blueprint”), cannot attach ‘/Game/UEDPIE_0_arrakis_Map.arrakis_Map:PersistentLevel.MOD_Rocket2_Blueprint_C_112.StaticMeshComponent0’ which is static to it. Aborting.

The interesting thing is, I’m copying the exact same blueprint setup from a prototype I made earlier… which does work. I’m not sure where I’ve gone wrong. Here’s the blueprints:

Presumably, there’s a difference between the Actors I’m trying to attach. They are both of parent class StaticMeshActor, and I can’t see any discrepancies between them. I have no idea. Help please! Thanks in advance.

Also, It doesn’t seem to make the blindest bit of difference which socket names I specify. (In both the working and non-working bluprints). Any thoughts as to why?

Having the same Problem. Any solution?

I never figured out why one worked and the other didn’t, but I did use a different method for attaching actors to actors.

I made my “thing to attach” an actor basically so I could use that node. Here’s a thread which helped.

Attaching a static mesh to the second skeletal mesh on the player

Edit: One more thing which caught me out: You need to place the actor you are attaching into the level somewhere (anywhere). Also, make sure it’s movable instead of static.

Ok thanks

Make sure both actors are set to Movable in the settings (Class Defaults? I think).
