A small tip for UE5 users

[Cinnamon_Wolf]

Hi there!

I, as all of you, have encountered the issue of the ball falling asleep and not responding to the floor in UE5. The solution here works and I really like the elegance of the Tuomo_T’s approach. However, it is a bit tricky tracking down the OnComponentSleep event – it won’t show up in the menu unless the Static Mesh Component is first selected in the Components tab. (Yes, I tried with context checked and unchecked and it wasn’t there until I selected the component)

Hope this helps in case anyone else is struggling with this!

I set everything up but the ball doesn’t react to the floor.

@Axel0689 Thank you for sharing this. “generate wake event” solve my problem on Unreal 5.1.

Did you ever figure out what the issue was?

@ImmersiveSoundVR mentioned it but to be more explicit, select the static mesh component in your blueprint and look for a property called “Generate Wake Events”. Tick that.
