Syntax

class AStaticMeshActor : public AActor

Remarks

StaticMeshActor is an instance of a UStaticMesh in the world. Static meshes are geometry that do not animate or otherwise deform, and are more efficient to render than other types of geometry. Static meshes dragged into the level from the Content Browser are automatically converted to StaticMeshActors.

Variables

		Name	Description
	bool	bStaticMeshReplicateMovement	This static mesh should replicate movement.
	EPhysicsReplica...	StaticMeshPhysicsReplicationMode	Set which replication mode to use for this static mesh instance if it both replicates and simulates physics.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	AStaticMeshActor ( const FObjectInitializer& ObjectIn... )

Functions

	Name	Description
ENavDataGath...	GetGeometryGatheringMode()
UStaticMeshC...	GetStaticMeshComponent()	Returns StaticMeshComponent subobject
void	SetMobility ( EComponentMobility::Type InMobility )	Function to change mobility type

Overridden from AActor

	Name	Description
void	BeginPlay()	Overridable native event for when play begins for this actor.
void	CheckForErrors()	Function that gets called from within Map_Check to allow this actor to check itself for any potential errors and register them with map check dialog.
bool	GetReferencedContentObjects ( TArray< UObject* >& Objects )	Used by the "Sync to Content Browser" right-click menu option in the editor.

Overridden from UObject

	Name	Description
FString	GetDetailedInfoInternal()	This function actually does the work for the GetDetailedInfo() and is virtual.
void	LoadedFromAnotherClass ( const FName& OldClassName )	Called when the object was loaded from another class via active class redirects.
void	PostEditChangeChainProperty ( FPropertyChangedChainEvent& Proper... )	This alternate version of PostEditChange is called when properties inside structs are modified.
void	PostLoad()	Do any object-specific cleanup required immediately after loading an object.
void	Serialize ( FArchive& Ar )	Handles reading, writing, and reference collecting using FArchive.

Constants

Name	Description
StaticMeshComponentName	Name of the StaticMeshComponent.

Deprecated Variables

		Name	Description
	ENavDataGatheri...	NavigationGeometryGatheringMode	Unused property. The actor will use the DefaultGeometryGatheringMode set in FNavigationOctree (see virtual ENavDataGatheringMode GetGeometryGatheringMode()).
