i came across this video by mistake, but wow, I didnt realize you could do that using Level instancing. good to know

This seems very useful for level designers when making symmetrical multiplayer maps. Helps speed up iteration by not having to go to the other side of the map to implement layout changes. Thanks for making this video!

In trying to copy things from one level to another, I accidentally made a level instance. I had no idea how to undo it and thought I pretty much ruined it. Not only did you explain what I did, but how to fix it and what I should have actually done in the first place. Thank you.

Thank you very much for this video, Ryan! One suggestion: Since you end up focusing more on Packed Level Actors (and rightly so) it might be helpful to include those words in the title of the video itself for future reference... Cheers!

wow its so done a lot more study in everything other then blueprints....but seeing this..i will look into it a lot sooner. thanks for the advice

Nice Shirt Ryan, you suited up! Legendary!

[RiverFox_YT]

this isnt even what i was searching for lol, but very very interesting none the less. thank you. back to searching for my world partition issue

[KarkulakCz]

YEEES! That's it what im looking for! :-) Thank you! 🙂

Seems like a good way to make several levels based on one same level design, for example you come to a house in the morning, then need to come back at night and there are different interactions there but it's the same base

Thank you very much! Please, don't stop doing us happy! Hello from Ukraine!

Good video! How about the original sublevel loading and unloading (thats the reason i am here). So if i want to unload levels with triggers to optimize performance. Do i still do this like you did in your ue4 tutorial?

[worldatsurvival]

Hello!! I love your videos and thanks at some point could you do a tutorial on how to respawn interacting with a bed?

[manonthedollar]

Thanks for the video! I don't think I understand the difference between this and creating a typical Actor Blueprint?

[tryptamedia]

Hey Ryan, love your content, was curious if you ever have tried to transform a level instance in the sequencer. The weird thing I'm encountering is that it loads in the sequencer but not in MRQ. Any idea what might be going on>

Been playing with these and love them. Question I’ve not been able to answer though, how to control the draw distance for building in a Packed Level Actor BP? The current default is resulting in the building popping in to view. I assume it has something to do with the HLOD system, still searching for an answer…. Thanx for any help in advance.

Thanks for this great video! Question about performance: are meshes inside a level instance converted to instanced static meshes? It doesn't seem to be the case, however it seems to be the case for the blueprint (packed) version right? If so, I guess it means every identical mesh within the packed level instance will be drawn in a single draw call?
Or maybe is the level instance considered as a single merged mesh then using a single draw call regardless of what's inside of it?

Thank you for sharing! now I don't need to buy a prefab addon

[CommanderColson]

Which of the two (Level Instance, Packed Level Actor) is more optimized?

[FF-FAN]

Good video, but I'm confused about why would I use this as level instance instead of just a regular bp? Specially in the last example

[nijq]

I think data layers replaced level streaming in UE5 or no?
