Description

Calling UHierarchicalInstancedStaticMeshComponent::AddInstance multiple times causes multiple BuildTrees to be created and run asynchronously at the same time.

Tested in 4.21(CL - 4613538)

 

How the steps reproduce above are technically not a recommended process, codewise, but it is still an issue.

A workaround for this issue is to set UHierarchicalInstancedStaticMeshComponent::bAutoRebuildTreeOnInstanceChanges to false before the loop where UHierarchicalInstancedStaticMeshComponent::AddInstance gets called multiple times, set it back to true after the loop, call UHierarchicalInstancedStaticMeshComponent::BuildTreeIfOutdated(true, true), and finally UHierarchicalInstancedStaticMeshComponent::Modify()

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a Blank project
  2. Create a derived AActor class called MyBaseActor that has the Abstract specifier in its UCLASS macro
  3. Within the AMyBaseActor class, have a UHierarchicalInstancedStaticMeshComponent created on itself within the constructor
  4. Create a derived AMyBaseActor class called MyActor
  5. Within the AMyActor class, create a function named GenerateTransforms  that first calls UHierarhicalInstancedStaticMeshComponent::ClearInstance, then have it call UHierarchicalInstancedStaticMeshComponent::AddInstance for each mesh within the HISM component  
  6. Override the PostEditChangeProperty function in the AMyActor class to call the GenerateTransforms function
  7. Drag the MyActor class to the scene
  8. Add a cube static mesh added to the HierarchicalInstancedStaticMeshComponent (HISM) of the AMyActor instance in the scene
  9. Create 9 instances of the Cube Static Mesh in the HISM
  10. Copy and Paste the AMyActor instance
