Behaviour when doing level streaming
Essential Actors within streamed levels are automatically hidden/disabled making the one in the persistent level the only ones available.
A streamed level should provide the Essential actors
To override the default behaviour
Go to Pixotope World Settings of the streamed level which should provide the Essential actors
Check Has Priority Over Persistent
If there are multiple streamed levels with Has Priority Over Persistent enabled, the first one found will take precedence.
A streamed level should use its own Post Process Handler
Go to Pixotope World Settings of the streamed level
Uncheck Disable Post Process Handler If Not Priority
However it will not be targeted by Director unless Has Priority Over Persistent is enabled.
