Why cant i make my static mesh a rigid body?

[Chay Hawk]

I have a static mesh i need to make a rigid body but i cant, i used to know how but i think i forgot so how do you do it again?

[Graylord]

If you mean in the editor, just make it a kActor.

[JessieG]

Yeah. You need to right click the mesh and choose convert static mesh to change it to a kactor

[Chay Hawk]

But why cant i get the Rigid body option? i can get it with another mesh. i have a flashlight that im attaching to the player so it needs to move.

[Chay Hawk]

also my mesh disappeared

RigidBody = KActor.

RigidBody is the name used for skeletal meshes.

[Chay Hawk]

But i had a mesh ball that was CSG and i converted it to a static mesh and made it a rigid body, why could i do it to that though? it wasnt a skeletal mesh.

[Chay Hawk]

but either way the mesh disappeared so why do you think that happened?

[JessieG]

Is it just sitting on the ground? If so its probably your KillZ. If you didn't lower it in the world properties it's probably destroying the kactor.

[Chay Hawk]

No its hovering about 48 UU off the ground, i dont have a killz in my map.

[Graylord]

There's always a killz, if you haven't modified it, that is likely the issue.
