How to simulate physics on a procedural mesh

  1. set bUseComplexAsSimpleCollision to false befoer SetSimulatePhysics(true) which was in constructor;

  2. add collistion mesh by AddCollisionConvexMesh(). because we can’t build collsionmesh automatically if set UseComplexAsSimpleCollision to false;
