Search help

  • Simple searches use one or more words. Separate the words with spaces (cat dog) to search cat,dog or both. Separate the words with plus signs (cat +dog) to search for items that may contain cat but must contain dog.
  • You can further refine your search on the search results page, where you can search by keywords, author, topic. These can be combined with each other. Examples
    • cat dog --matches anything with cat,dog or both
    • cat +dog --searches for cat +dog where dog is a mandatory term
    • cat -dog -- searches for cat excluding any result containing dog
    • [cats] —will restrict your search to results with topic named "cats"
    • [cats] [dogs] —will restrict your search to results with both topics, "cats", and "dogs"

Set Actor Hidden In Game make Actor invisible in Editor

0

If I create a blueprint actor, add a mesh to it (or even just a sphere). Set the "Actor Hidden in Game", the actor does not show up in the editor or in game.

I need a way to create an actor that shows up in the editor, but is invisible and inactive in game. I assumed Hidden In Game should do that.

Steps:

  1. Create Blueprint Actor Name actor

  2. Name it something like BP_Test

  3. +Add Component (choose static mesh)

  4. Set Static Mesh to Shape_Cube

  5. Click BP_Test (Self) and set "Actor Hidden in Game" box to True

  6. Compile/Save

  7. Add Actor to editor window

  8. Actor is invisible

Note, same issue happens if you set Hidden in Game on the mesh instead. Neither option works.

Product Version: UE 4.19

Hm, seems to work. Actor + component cube. Hidden in Game ticked in the blueprint and in the level instance:

The shadow disappears but that's expected. This is on UE4 20.1

What's Shape_Cube - is this your own mesh?
