Very nice. Question though, when you made your own custom asset, did you make sure that it's the same width and length as the original asset in the bp?
Yes. I generally either open their road asset or export put a mesh from Unreal. That way I have a safe bet for swapping out a variety of models that I feel confident will work.
Rewatched this a few times (as well as the spline rig video) and the only thing I think I am missing is how you got the vehicle into the bb_spline_rig blueprint. I see that under the bp_spline_rig is an Actor named "Delorean_cart" and then later down the chain I another Actor Blueprint named "Delorean_rig" I also see that bp_spline_rig has an "Attach Actor" drop down in the Default panel on the right that has most likely "Delorean_cart" added in. When I did this I was getting the attached actor to follow, but my vehicle will not. Curious what I am doing wrong here....maybe I need to create another Attach Actor variable to give to the "cart bp" and place the vehicle in there?
Looks like you need to make sure your vehicle blueprint geometry is all set to moveable, which will allow the vehicle to follow the attached actor. Big thanks to Dan Maurer for this one!
@@porterdesignandmotion I have a similar issue where my static mesh f1 car I imported wont parent to the actor handle. I have a racetrack setup and just trying to get the car to drive along track. New to Unreal and appreciate the help.
Solid, looking forward to seeing part 4 🤙🏿

Nice. Thanks for these vids!
