[4.9.2] Foliage paint/lasso sphere gone!

After a few clicks, somehow the sphere used to select foliage is gone. Whenever I click paint or lasso, nothing shows up and I can’t select my foliage. Clicking “Select All/Deselect All” does nothing either - only single Select works.

This is happening only on one of my maps (foliage works on other maps). Deleting the foliage does nothing. Duplicating the map does not make the new map work, I also moved the game to another computer and it still doesn’t work.
I can create a new landscape on the same map and it would work on that landscape. Why won’t it work on my original landscape? I don’t see an option that disables foliage painting on it.

Edit: Semi solved, apparently at random times the foliage pops out of the streaming level and goes to an “empty” level (thus painting on Persistent or any other level won’t work). You have to select the landscape and Move Level again in order to place them back and then you can paint foliage on it. A minor inconvinience bug =(!

Hello michaeleeli,

This is an interesting issue. Could you provide some reproduction steps so that I may test this in 4.9. You have already done some troubleshooting to try and solve this and it looks like you have already discovered a work around.

If I am unable to reproduce this would you be willing to link a test project so that I can see your tool disappearing with your native files?

Thanks,

Hey! I think I am having this same issue, however I don’t know what he means when he says, “You have to select the landscape and Move Level again in order to place them back and then you can paint foliage on it.” What is “Move Level” and how do I access that??

I am actually not sure what he is referring to, but can you provide me with a screenshot of your issue, or provide me with a way to reproduce it on my end?

Also, which engine version are you working?

Thank you,
