  • replicate_movement (bool): [Read-Write] If true, replicate movement/location related properties. Actor must also be set to replicate. see: SetReplicates() see: https://docs.unrealengine.com/InteractiveExperiences/Networking/Actors

  • replicate_using_registered_sub_object_list (bool): [Read-Write] When true the replication system will only replicate the registered subobjects and the replicated actor components list When false the replication system will instead call the virtual ReplicateSubobjects() function where the subobjects and actor components need to be manually replicated.

Does not work with an XY offset map (mesh collision)

  • spawn_collision_handling_method (SpawnActorCollisionHandlingMethod): [Read-Write] Controls how to handle spawning this actor in a situation where it’s colliding with something else. “Default” means AlwaysSpawn here.

  • sprite_scale (float): [Read-Write] The scale to apply to any billboard components in editor builds (happens in any WITH_EDITOR build, including non-cooked games).

  • static_lighting_lod (int32): [Read-Write] LOD level to use when running lightmass (increase to 1 or 2 for large landscapes to stop lightmass crashing)

  • static_lighting_resolution (float): [Read-Write] The resolution to cache lighting at, in texels/quad in one axis Total resolution would be changed by StaticLightingResolution*StaticLightingResolution Automatically calculate proper value for removing seams

  • streaming_distance_multiplier (float): [Read-Write] Allows artists to adjust the distance where textures using UV 0 are streamed in/out. 1.0 is the default, whereas a higher value increases the streamed-in resolution. Value can be < 0 (from legcay content, or code changes)

  • tags (Array[Name]): [Read-Write] Array of tags that can be used for grouping and categorizing.

  • update_overlaps_method_during_level_streaming (ActorUpdateOverlapsMethod): [Read-Write] Condition for calling UpdateOverlaps() to initialize overlap state when loaded in during level streaming. If set to ‘UseConfigDefault’, the default specified in ini (displayed in ‘DefaultUpdateOverlapsMethodDuringLevelStreaming’) will be used. If overlaps are not initialized, this actor and attached components will not have an initial state of what objects are touching it, and overlap events may only come in once one of those objects update overlaps themselves (for example when moving). However if an object touching it does initialize state, both objects will know about their touching state with each other. This can be a potentially large performance savings during level loading and streaming, and is safe if the object and others initially overlapping it do not need the overlap state because they will not trigger overlap notifications.

    Note that if ‘bGenerateOverlapEventsDuringLevelStreaming’ is true, overlaps are always updated in this case, but that flag determines whether the Begin/End overlap events are triggered. see: bGenerateOverlapEventsDuringLevelStreaming, DefaultUpdateOverlapsMethodDuringLevelStreaming, GetUpdateOverlapsMethodDuringLevelStreaming()

  • use_compressed_heightmap_storage (bool): [Read-Write] Enable compressed heightmap texture storage.

  • use_material_position_offset_in_static_lighting (bool): [Read-Write] Whether to use the landscape material’s vertical world position offset when calculating static lighting.

    Note: Only z (vertical) offset is supported. XY offsets are ignored. Does not work correctly with an XY offset map (mesh collision)

  • used_for_navigation (bool): [Read-Write] Hints navigation system whether this landscape will ever be navigated on. true by default, but make sure to set it to false for faraway, background landscapes

  • virtual_texture_lod_bias (int32): [Read-Write] Bias to the LOD selected for rendering to runtime virtual textures. Higher values reduce vertex count when rendering to the runtime virtual texture.

  • virtual_texture_num_lods (int32): [Read-Write] Number of mesh levels to use when rendering landscape into runtime virtual texture. Lower values reduce vertex count when rendering to the runtime virtual texture but decrease accuracy when using values that require vertex interpolation.

  • virtual_texture_render_pass_type (RuntimeVirtualTextureMainPassType): [Read-Write] Controls if this component draws in the main pass as well as in the virtual texture.

  • virtual_texture_render_with_quad (bool): [Read-Write] Use a single quad to render this landscape to runtime virtual texture pages. This is the fastest path but it only gives correct results if the runtime virtual texture orientation is aligned with the landscape. If the two are unaligned we need to render to the virtual texture using LODs with sufficient density.

  • virtual_texture_render_with_quad_hq (bool): [Read-Write] Use highest quality heightmap interpolation when using a single quad to render this landscape to runtime virtual texture pages. This also requires the project setting: r.VT.RVT.HighQualityPerPixelHeight.
