Harvestable Plant Blueprint - UE4

_Archimedes_

Hey we are trying to make harvestable herb plants in UE4 using blueprints. Our plants have two mesh variants. One is the plant before it's harvested and the other is the plant after it is harvested.

Basically, we want the player to  walk up to the plant, press a button, and the plants mesh switches.

Can someone give us pointers as to what blueprint nodes we could utilize? Is there something like a swap mesh node? Thank you

You're probably better off asking on the Unreal Engine forum for blueprint help.  https://forums.unrealengine.com

Use 2 components. By default, show the intact mesh. On picking up, "set visibility" of that to hidden, and set visibility of the harversted one to visible.

Or better, use one, and  just "set static mesh".

Do you plan on placing these static meshes by yourself? If so, you can just use the approach that Obscura suggested.

However, if you want to paint your foliage with the foliage tool the process is a bit more complicated as you would need to work with instanced meshes. If you want to choose this approach I could give you a quick breakdown.
