[UE4] Spine mesh collision on packaged game

jzela

Our game has a pretty simple collision setup where the RuntimeMesh collision is enabled for Spine characters and objects that cause damage (weapons, projectiles, whatever) are wrapped with ue4 collision spheres. On overlap, the damage and other effects are calculated and applied to the character.

This all works great in PIE and also running as "Standalone", but in a packaged build the collision overlap never occurs.

I spent a good bit of time today upgrading RMC and Spine runtimes to see if that would help - it didn't. Was wondering if anyone had heard of this problem. I'm running UE 4.18.3.

Thanks!

Hm, this should work as intended. Do you have a small repro project for me to see what's up?

Here's a project that demonstrates the issue. Basically, I took one of the SpineBoy example projects and added an actor that moves back and forth over time. Whenever it overlaps with SpineBoy he will shoot his gun. For me, it works great in editor and also as Standalone, but a Win64 packaged project no longer works (i.e. he never shoots his gun).

I'm using 4.18.3, I wish I could say if it worked in previous versions or not, but this is the first time I've tried a packaged executable even though I've been incorporating Spine into my project for many months.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the repro! I've added an issue here [ue4] Collision not triggering in packaged game · #1085

Thanks for taking a look at it!

Thanks for reporting and sorry for it taking so long. This is now fixed in both the 3.6 and 3.7-beta branches!

Thanks this worked great!
