How to define building's collision hitbox?
I'm trying to add an end piece for catwalks (with railings from 3 sides). It finally works without crashing the game, but i can't enter the catwalk, the air part of it has a collision, i can walk on the air above the catwalk. And i can't figure out where i'm supposed to define the collision. Looking at default buildings didn't help, i don't see anything different there.
I'm inheriting
FGBuildable Walkway Lightweight, same as vanilla catwalks. By default there's un-editable BuildingMeshProxy (FGColored Instance Mesh) component inherited from C++, so i added another FGColored Instance Mesh and that's where i put my mesh.
I selected Collision Presets to be BuildingMesh as vanilla catwalks have that. I tried enabling the checkbox Trace Complex on Move in my mesh component, but that didn't help.

Unable to save Name based Session Settings
Iv been trying for a few days now, i got a edit test widget with an on text commited handler, that works fine to enter text and fire handler
but i cant find out how to store the value on a Session Setting
First i tried in BP, it looks correct but it wont store any value. then i moved my code to cpp using a
UBlueprintFunctionLibrary so i could attach the debugger
...Solution:
You do need a value selector, because it defines the default value, and allows configuring it for each setting

I'm looking for a successor for my artillery mod because I can't find the time or desire to work on it anymore.

Same category
I would like to gather some of my mods in a single category
But I get one category per mod, even if they are identical (copy-paste)
How to do it? CDO?...
Solution:
Then you have to edit your mod's
uplugin (can be done via Alpakit's Edit button) and you'd add another entry to the dependencies, referring to the new mod you just created
Customization
How do I add my Builds and Recipes to Foundation Customizations?
This way obviously doesn't work, yet I can find them in the respective maps.

And just in blueprints please

How to CDO edit a complex data type?
I'm trying to patch the rifle ammo descriptor file using ContentLib. I successfully modified simple fields like
mMagazineSize, but the damage field is inside of mDamageTypesOnImpact field, which is an array of something that has a value selected from a dropdown and without a property name, and then inside of that there's a list of fields and mDamageAmount is one of those. How do i write a JSON patch to mod the damage field?
I can do it in game using the Content Inspector mod, but i don't know how to do it in JSON patch. In docs there's no examples for such data types.
```json
"Edits": [...Solution:
Ha, what a coincidence! I was just browsing all mods at ficsit.app and found a mod that does exactly what i was trying to do yesterday here: https://ficsit.app/mod/UsefulTurboAmmo
Turns out the correct way to patch that object inside of
mDamageTypesOnImpact array is to patch that file separately. The name of that class can be seen from the editor, and after that you go and create another CDO patch and target class /Game/FactoryGame/Equipment/Rifle/Ammo/Desc_CartridgeChaos.Default__Desc_CartridgeChaos_C:BP_PointDamageType_Physical_C_0 and its property mDamageAmount....

SCS hooked component on PlayerState no longer saving correctly
seems like FreeSamples is broken now for dedicated server clients, not certain exactly when this happened, guessing 1.0?
I'm saving data via a component added via SCS hooks on PlayerState. and I can confirm it's saving something, but it seems like after my player disconnects from the server, a new blank data component spawns for them and overwrites their old one before the save actually takes place, see logs in below message...

Modding animations for train stations
I'm trying to make train stations more compact and modular. I think I've figured out how to create the models and animations that I need - pics of my work so far included. I am not sure about how to get my modded freight station animated. It seems that animations state information for the base game freight station is described in
FactoryGame/Buildable/Factory/Train/Station/BPA_TrainDockingStation.uasset but this file isn't included in the starter project so I'm not sure whether it can be modde...
