Duplicating along spline (roads etc)

Spoon

Hi,

Is there really no simple way to duplicate and deform a mesh along a spline, to create rails, roads etc? I remember it as being super easy in UE3, and now in UE4 I just plowed through 1h of tutorials of setting up expressions in blueprints, and still not having something useful.

Am I missing something obvious?

If you're just in need of roads and guard rails like the vehicle marketplace demo, I haven't tried it yet but the spline tool part of the landscape system looks pretty straightforward: https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Landscape/Editing/Splines/index.html

but, sounds like you might be trying something more customized or procedural? Can you post what you've already tried as far as other tutorials?
