[Bug] Set actor location does not work on Z axis for blueprint with simulate physics set to false

I have a static mesh with simulate physics set to true . When a button is pressed it will move to a location using the setworldlocation node in Blueprint .
It worked when the object was a static mesh . When it is saved as a blueprint it will work on the first move . After that it will move on the x and y axis , but not on the Z axis .

Hey,

Thanks for your report. I have not been able to reproduce the issue you are experiencing. Here’s a picture of what my Actor Blueprint looks like:

My mesh started at location 0, 0, 260. My NewLocation variable sets the location to 200, 200, 400 when G is pressed. Whether Simulate Physics is set to true or false, the mesh moves to the new location every time G is pressed.

If you can provide any further information or images of your Blueprint, I can investigate further.

Hope this helps!

As an example this is the blueprint layout.

This is what happens .

The green cube is saved as a blueprint and the cube with a default texture is a static mesh . When I press K it should send both objects to two different locations that alternate between each other. The static mesh will always move to the right place , but the blueprint will not move on the Z axis.

Hey,

I investigated further and discovered where the issue is: when you create a Blueprint from a Static Mesh in a level, the Static Mesh is set as a child of a Scene Component automatically. The Level Blueprint is trying to set the Static Mesh’s location rather than the Scene Component’s. I have entered a report for this issue.

In the meantime, a solution that might help is to make your Static Mesh component the root component in the GreenCube Blueprint. If you don’t need it, you can delete that Scene Component. If you try that and still run into this issue, please let me know and I will take another look.

Hope that helps!

#Mobility of the Blueprint SMA?

What is the mobility of the blueprint SMA set to, in its default properties?

Mobility::Moveable ?

Did you set the Blueprint SMA to be simulating physics?

#Pic

please post a pic of your blueprint SMA’s default properties

I duplicated the Level Blueprint you set up and have not yet encountered any z-axis translation issue. Could you post a picture of the default properties for the Blueprint Static Mesh Actor (your Green Cube), as requested? I would also like to see the Details tab for the Mesh in your Components.

Thanks!

Both actors are set to movable . The settings are almost exactly the same . I would not expect the settings that are different to effect the actors movement.

Static Mesh

Blueprint

I have the same issue. Is there a way to track the bug report?

I will revert to using C++ for this features for the time being.
