how to dynamically spawn child actors that can be transformed in editor?

yeah - as above.


I want to spawn <n> child actors and allow the user to modify their transforms at editor time. The obvious ways don't work cos everything gets reset by the construction script. I'm sure this is doable, I'm just missing something


any ideas? examples?


thanks

    figured it out


    loose explanation

    create an array of transforms and use that as your starting point for spawning child actors

    create an interface to a build function and implement it on the child actor - you need to expose a transform variable and apply it in this function

    in the parent actor set the child actor's transform variable and call its build event.
