#49 Stealth | PCG Bush Area | RPG Framework in Unreal Engine 5
In this episode of the RPG Framework Series, we take our stealth system to the next level by leveraging the Unreal Engine Procedural Content Generation Framework to build a fully modular, production-ready Bush Area Actor.
Instead of manually placing foliage or creating one-off Blueprint solutions, we design a scalable, spline-driven system that dynamically generates dense bush zones with optimized collision and clean level integration. This solution is reusable, designer-friendly, and fully aligned with our growing RPG architecture.
🔎 What You’ll Learn in This Tutorial
How to enable and configure the Procedural Content Generation Framework and Procedural Mesh Component
Creating a custom Hiding Spot collision preset for stealth detection
Building a reusable Blueprint Interface for hiding zones
Generating a spline-based collision volume using a Procedural Mesh Component
Constructing mesh geometry manually (vertices, triangles, caps, and proper winding order)
Using a PCG Graph to populate spline-defined areas with procedural foliage
Controlling foliage density with exposed parameters
🧠 System Overview
We combine three core systems into one clean actor:
Spline-driven procedural collision volume
Custom hiding interface integration
PCG-based foliage population using instanced static meshes
The result is a highly configurable Bush Area Actor that:
Updates instantly when spline points move
Scales to any biome
Maintains performance using instancing
Cleanly integrates with stealth mechanics
