Be warned that using lots of level instances with lots of actors inside them will increase the time it takes to enter and exit PIE.

Yeah, I ran into this issue bigtime and had to lean harder on Blueprints. Also, the ol' Prefabricator plugin helps a lot. Not sure what is most performant tho?@@blackshinobi956

Great. I observed that you have some placement issue with objects or props because of pivot point, I am not sure but I think holding down 'END' key on the keyboard will snap it to surface while translating.

Ya the end key will snap the selected mesh to the mesh or landscape below as long as it doesn’t have contact with another mesh.

If you group/merge actors in a location and ungroup and change the original group can just right click and replace with new one also

Dropping a comment to fuel the algorithm! Another useful and well explained video. Good luck growing the channel, you deserve it so much more than the generic beginner guide garbage my feed suggests. Whilst basics are important understanding the tool in a wider sense will help in the future.... Assuming one can get through a few hours without UE5 crashing.

Thanks for the video and keep up the content! Few things I've noticed with World Building on UE5: - Level Instances are great to store PLAs, BPs and other type of actors. - Level Instances are much more efficient in moving large group of actors (1 to select) rather than selecting thousands of individual actors. - PLA can only be used for Static Meshes. It compacts them and makes a world more optimized. - ATM when you create a Level Instance out of actors, it'll break their references. So be mindful when you create them in context!

Dumb question 2 months after this video 😂 What’s the actual benefit of creating a level instance over combining these assets into a Blueprint?
@blackshinobi956
9 ай бұрын
That's a great question, I wondered the same thing when I looked at them. It's my understanding that the main benefit is the workflow improvement. Since they're edited in the context of the world, I don't have to adjust it in BP then check the level and see how it looks. I think Level Instances are great for larger collections of meshes that I want to load in like a section of a level .

for save station with functionally better use blueprint. But normally you use level instances for big objects like buildings that are repeated in the level. It would be faster than putting it into a blueprint.

Thanks for this. For level instances or packed level actors, is there no way that it generates possible configurations of the meshes, like different positions per instance, and have an option to randomize them when you use it on another area? sort of the prefabricator plugin? Currently, anything you do on once instance makes all the instances similar as the name suggests. Thanks

Would you recommend this for levels that are a bit larger but not like landscapes size - more like penumbra or amnesia sized puzzle rooms
@blackshinobi956
8 ай бұрын
When I read the documentation, they recommended it more for large maps. I would say if it's not landscape sizes probably not use it, but if you've already started implementing world partition and its working, stick with it

Thanks for sharing this. Q: can Either of these be assigned to an array for PCG? To elaborate, my idea was to create random player events in a level. Another question: Would this be the ideal way to create static mesh assets (buildings) for distribution via PCG?
@blackshinobi956
9 ай бұрын
Good question, I'm not familiar with PCG yet so I don't have an answer. I did find this video about using packed level actors with a PCG graph, so you're idea seems possible. Sorry I couldn't help more, good luck! kzitem.info/news/bejne/r6OHwI2Xk3N3fYo&ab_channel=FabioSarracino
