This is driving me nuts. For some reason, I cannot figure out how to get a structure to spawn on the terrain (not floating or buried) no matter what the DrawScale is. And yes, I've tried:

SpawnLoc.Z += StructToBuild.default.CollisionHeight * StructToBuild.default.DrawScale;

but with that the structure is almost always floating in the air. Thanx for the help.

Unless you make it scale. At PostBeginPlay of the structure, I call

SetCollisionSize(CollisionRadius * DrawScale, CollisionHeight * DrawScale);

To make sure the ColHeight and Radius change accordingly (very important as that's what draws the selection boxes).

JamesKilton, why are you using that term from the first posting then instead of just using the current actual CollisionHeight?

Can you solve your problem by choosing a different Default.CollisionHeight for your actors?

perhaps thats just an example youve got up there, so excuse me if this doesnt apply, but most models are centered. try adding only half of the collisionheight to its Z

CollisionHeight is already half of the total height of the collision cylinder.

well, the current actual CollisionHeight doesn't take effect until the structure actually spawns, so that's why I have what I have in the topic. I have to take into account the change that will happen. Heck, I might just make the structures fall to the ground for now. What an annoying problem.
